Ideas for next mod?

basically not really sure what my next mod will be on the truck. Mod up to date are tinted windows, exhaust, hitch, back lights, hellas on the front, fog light mod, blinker mod, 3" body lift running 33BFG mud's. thinking about doing the ABS disable with switch mod but i usually just pop the fuse out. Are there any other cheap mod's to do?

Next mods thats a bit expensive will probably be a front skid plate and rockers. Thinking on bidding on a stock skid but doesnt seem all that solid for the offroading that i do as I already ruined one of those :S.

Suspension lift and winch are to come but not enough money in the tree for now .

Any ideas on other mods that arent that expensive.. ?

Heres a curent pic of the truck all washed up for a change

Foglight and turn signal mod. Both free, the turn signal mod requires a foot or two of wire and a couple tap connectors. You'll like both of them =].

im gonna look around see how much they are around here. black diamond plated one would look awsome and be way more secure and durable than plastic crap

Kinda lazy this morning skimming the post lol. My bad. Aluminum oxidizes, it's sort of like rust but easier to care for. Hmmmm....You could get a nice 1/4" diamond plate skid plate made for around $75, screw that stocker! They're nice for stock but not so nice if you actually use it for what it's meant for. ABS disable switch is alot nicer than having to stop, open the door, open the fuse panel, and remove fuse 14. My fuse panel started to get fukt up after awhile cuz I did it so often. My rubber flap thingy was gettin torn off and ****. Def recommended. I just went with a simple open/close circuit rocker. Cost all of five bucks and a half hour.
