The Condor pack idea is great (not that the other mods aren't!), just what I need. ThanksCondor pack and a couple of cheap non-rated links. I think this pack was about $25, but you can do this with any pack. The one on the back of my driver's seat is an old Army surplus map bag that I picked up for about $10.
This one holds itself open like a little tray table and carries my backup ham kit, license, notebook, and band plan.
I also added this LED round to the inside of my tailgate
The switch came with some lights and I didn't need two of them, it was scavenged for this project.
Rather pleased with the results.
I got 12 of these rock lights for 20 bucks. Figure you add in some wiring and a cheap switch you'll be right around 25-30 bucks.
Picked em up from swampedoffroad.com but I've heard they are on amazon as well.
Only guy I talked to about them said he hasn't had any issues with water/mud. Once I get the chance (since I have spares) I'll do a water test myself and report any findings here.

My Rock lights came in under $25 I think. I have 8 total 4" COB lights under the truck. Amazon has a 4pc set for $13. And then some random wire I had laying around.

I have quite s few of those on varying wattages. I use 6 of them in my front bumper for daytime running lights and after a year, I just had to replace one as it was dim. Considering its in front of the tire, directly exposed to water all the time, not too bad.
Going to use some on the rear hatch next.

Here's some of my cheapo mods , I got a lot of 'em...
Interior LED light strips , with a remote controller/dimmer, on Amazon , maybe $15 total

Another one , maybe for stick shift guys . I cut a link of chain and welded it onto my T-Case shifter . With the truck in reverse , I can lock the shifters together . It might slow down or at least inconvinience a thief ...
I know most of you guys got probably got the OBD II bluetooth gps engine data moniter gauge and gizmo , but George Bush Senior was president when my 90 was built , I didn't even get a stock voltmeter , or a tach . So onto Amazon I go and find this 7$ voltmeter ... I put it in the vent .
It's probably been on for 3 years straight , although I did tie it into a switch in case I want to dim it ....

You might want a different lock. Master Locks are notoriously easy to defeat, I saw a guy pick one with a broken bamboo BBQ skewer.Another one , maybe for stick shift guys .

QuickFists. 10 bucks. Got rid of the door handle and installed a door handle that doubles as a splitting axe.

I agree, these are cool, I have some Coyote ones I have yet to mount, however I dont for the life of me understand why you would willingly consume MREs...
I do NOT have a good one, I DO however have several broken ones. :)

Now THIS I like. I really need to explore some axe mounting options.

I'm working through mounting some better lights inside my rig too. This is pretty awesome.
