20 dollar rugged ridge vent cover in front of the windshield. I just got sick of cleaning leaves out of it.

Yes lightly with a fine sanding pad/block. There are a bunch of write ups on wheel painting on here. Taping off the wheels was the most time consuming part. I liked the color and light texture of the hammered black paint. Kinda came out charcoal gray. I painted some old trailer wheels first to see how it looked.

Side markers to blinkers - free!

I had the jump wire and connectors already. If I had to buy it, it would still be my cheapest mod.

Learning how to properly read trails and pick your lines is free. Do your homework and learn how to wheel. It takes more skill a lot of the time to wheel stock since taking the right line is essential. I've seen stocks roll through some trails that are 4's because they knew what they are doing. Also...keep your eyes peeled on the used parts section. find some used rubi rails since fixing body damage ain't cheap if you can't do it yourself.
