What's the coolest thing you have done to your truck for under $100?

I got a similar antenna and have the same problems with reception. I rely in satellite radio and pandora, but don't believe anyone that says they didn't see a difference in reception.

If your antenna is getting caught on garages, you can cut a couple inches off and hammer the little round tip back on. I cut about 3" off of mine and still works great. It's still slightly taller than my truck to act as a warning when going into low undergrounds.

While they all add up, and prices might be higher now as I installed some of this when the truck was new but here goes...
#1. Pro Comp 130 watt SS 6" driving lights.
#2. KC pre terminated light wiring kit.
#3. Radio Shack 102" stainless steel whip CB antenna & 6" pot belly spring.
#4. Gotts Mod & K&N filter. Had trouble with the Gotts due to PVC being the only 3" pipe available near me. ABS should work better. I am about to swap in an AirRAID intake tube.
#5. AVS Vent Visors and Bugflector.
#6. Winch cover. Only helpful for trucks with exposed winches, but it is nice to have.
#7. PTM and reinforced for the 102, tool box.

Reception is very, very close to the external antenna.
Yes, I use XM radio from the HU as well as the iPhone.
