Red oak arm rests *custom* cost me about 9 bucks for 4 feet of red oak. Old arm rests were ripped off/ leaking little bits of worn out foam over my cab. Went to home depo bought the oak traced out the old armrest and went to town cutting out and sanding the shape. Threw on a coat of stain and installed the next day

That looks good! That's my next cheap mod on the list... Don't know much about it. Any brand or place you'd recommend to get them? I could prolly install on my own

Thanks mine had the painted bumpers with the front starting to rust hints the plastic dip. Thinking about doing the wheels or at least the center cap of the wheel
