Default Show us your best mini-mods (mods under $100 bucks)

Ok guys, i'm pretty new to this forum. I've had my '13 JKU for about 18 months. For the first 17 months I put a grand total of about 70 bucks into mods. That all changed about 4 weeks ago when I added my lift, tires, wheels and new driveshaft. Needless to say the wallet needs a recharge for awhile, but once the mod bug has bitten, it's hard to stop

Soooo...I thought it would be fun to start a thread about those small mods that are more accessible to everyone, even when the bank account is running low.

My mini-mods so far:

LED dome lights - $10
Amazon.com: Jtech 10x 194 168 2825 T10 5-SMD White LED Car Lights Bulb: Automotive
2 x White 42mm Ceramic 3W Festoon Dome Map Interior LED Light Bulb 211 2 578 569 | eBay

LED reverse lights - $40
Amazon.com: Genssi 2x 80W CREE White 3157 3057 High Power LED 12V Turn Signal Brake Reverse: Automotive

13" Stubby antenna - $20
Amazon.com: AntennaX Off-Road (13-inch) Antenna for (07 thru 15) Jeep Wrangler JK: Automotive

Upcoming mini-mods:

Door entry guards - $35
Amazon.com: 2007-2014 Jeep Wrangler 4 Door-Door Entry Guards: Automotive

Bestop underseat lock box - $60
Amazon.com: Bestop 42640-01 HighRock 4x4 Under Seat Lock Box for Wrangler JK, Driver side: Automotive

Spiderwebshade top - $100
Wrangler Accessories, Jeep Top, Wrangler Top | SPIDERWEBSHADE

Looking forward to seeing what all of you guys are doing in the 'mini-mod' category. Post away!!

In case you were unaware, there is a low cost/ free mods thread here:

https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/modi...ontier-309589/

There is a link in the first post to the original thread, but this one is much more organized.

Enjoy

Thanks! I'm running a 4" Teraflex 8 arm suspension with 17" Rugged Ridge XHD's and 35" Toyo Open Country RT's. I love it, but my kids need a Sherpa guide now to help them scale the height

Thanks for the link, Gforce! I figured there had to be a thread like this, but I couldn't find it.

Love the color of your Rubi. That's become my favorite color I think.

How are you liking the lockpic? How was installation?

Lockpic gets used everyday... Install was simple. Pull part of the dash, plug it in, run the wires to back, and install the camera in the back bumper...def recommend it
