Default Best Modifications $50 - $250 15+

We have a 'best mods under $50' thread but I thought it would be cool to see a list of the 'mid-range' mods people have made to their trucks.

Show'em if you got'em boys.....lol

My first sub $250 upgrade was a set of LED lights (well I paid $300 at the time).
Other upgrades I liked:

Rear Seat Bed Box
Floor Matts
Tailgate dampener
Exhaust (lil more for some if you can't install it yourself)
LED blinkers/reverse lights
Reverse LED light bar (although the ones I have now are Rigid and expensive)

Those are some things I did.

Can you do the reverse mirror mod with the Forscan on an XLT with towing mirrors? they are powered but not power folding.

No you need, i believe, a Lariat with memory seats to do it.

So far my only mods have been under $50 and I love both. Led license plate lights and OEM tail gate damper.

Next up is Husky wheel well liners and Bilstien 5100s in the rear.
