Default mods under $350



Got a 2001 supercrew that I've had since March. What. Are some cheap mods I can do to it? It has the T-bars cranked, true duals, and bedlined rockers. Any help is appreciated!

Window tint, new fog lights, and maybe add a subwoofer or other audio upgrades.

A fresh alignment with camber bolts, tire rotation, Depot fog lights and new differential fluid, front and rear.

(These trucks almost always need an alignment if you're not the last person who aligned it. )


SEM color matching paint for interior pieces if it needs it.

New carpet is about 250$.

There are tons of things but I'd start with Maintenance. First mechanical, then appearance.

Maintenance first, then get rid of those horrible headlights.

Then search the forum for the thread "cheap mods", lots of ideas there (LED interior lights are something I would do, thread here with lots of info).

Ditch the cheap looking headlights, they ruin the looks of your truck. Change all fluids, upgrade the audio system (if it's stock)

I say replace the headlights when they break. There's no sense in wasting money if you don't need to. They don't look cheap, lol. They are just as cheap looking as all the other cheaply priced headlights out there. Hell, even my headlights are starting to peel and go bad and I have Harley Heads.

The internet just brainwashed everyone into a group think. Most people that have been around a while know that their quality isn't that great but if they are already there, wait till they start going bad. When the LED's start to go out or you want something different, change your heads.

I've seen those heads on a few other trucks at the shows, Some starting to go out, some that were 5 years old that still work fine. My lightning heads are barely 3 years old and I have to replace them soon.

I just can't stand the look of those lights, just too ricer. Plus the light output sucks.
