Do the Fog Light mod where you just have to bend a pin and your Fog Lights will be on with the high beams too.
Best thing I have done for no cost !

Then there is the no cost Directional/Side Marker Mod, where you redo some of the wiring and the side marker blinks as a directional and works as the side marker.

If you are daring, you can take the headlights apart, separate the clear lens from the back ground and paint the background black; minimal cost.

LEDs, price goes up but a nice touch to add LEDs all over the cab.

If you can find an OHC from one of the guys here on the site for cheap money get that in too, looks good and the added interior lighting is a plus. I didn’t do the little display in the OHC, I replaced the display with a small switch panel and four switches with LED indicators.

Door Chimes delete switch is another one that is good for leaving your door open and listening to the radio while working on the truck.
Here is one, there should be another one too… https://www.ranger-forums.com/interi...quieter-36068/

A/C Off Switch while running the heater, not a biggy for some but I wanted it.

Go to the “How-To” Forum and run down the list, you will see the ones I called out, maybe not the same titles, and you can find others that will run you no cost or little money.

There are how-tos on making door pods for new speakers and mods for just about anything you can think of in or on the Ranger.

Luck...
