Default Cool stuff/gadgets

Like the title says, anyone have any sweet gadgets added to their truck?
Other than the typical programmer or sound system?
I'm talking something random that only you have and everyone who sees it thinks its the coolest thing ever. Like one of those exhaust powered jacks on 4wheelparts.com .

There are some nifty hiding spots for stuff if you have the roof organizer system when you pull them down there isroom to put small items in and put back up

I recently ordered an underglow kit from LEDGlow and am using it as puddle lights and bed lights.

First off I would like to say nothing more that I am 100% satisfied with the product and no I do not work for them.

$50= 2x48" super bright LED strips (directional)
2x36" super bright LED strips (directional as well)

I hard wired the 2 48"ers to my interior dome light so any time I roll the illumination wheel to the top and it clicks or when I unlock or open a door the LEDS act as puddle lights. The picture I took is with my BB so it sucks but the light is MUCH more spread out than it looks here. But it is also bright exactly where it needs to be. I am running the other 2 36" strips in the bed in series as well after thanksgiving road trip so I can see everything that's going on back there as well when I'm in the bed.

I will get some better pictures this weekend!

That is actually pretty slick! Definitely a fan of that light.

Posted pics of it before but it gets a lot of attention, especially for something that was supposed to blend in.

Awesome idea! Autozone has some white LED strips that i used on my motorcycle that i bet would work perfect for this application and costs less then $20. They are not 48 inches though.. There is a good spot along the tack welds to run the strips too.. I want to do this now!

I was thinking about doing this on all four doors and inside the bed (since I'm going to smoke the 3rd brake light), inside the truck to light up the feet (I like to look at my shoes, hehe) and inside the 4 air vents.
