I'm partial to BONDSY and Robar, personally, but I would never pay for them.

Serious answer - I think some subtle options are an AntennaX off-road antenna (under $20), UFO's from Vector Offroad ($20 or so), maybe stubby your front (stock) bumper with the VDP end caps ($65 or so).

Flat fenders (free)

Stubby caps (around $65)

plasti dip (rims or grill or both , $5 a can)

and a 1.5 budget boost (around $115)

You could also add some basic skid plates ie evap, oil pan and front skid. As mentioned before there are a ton of DIY mods that are cheap. I stubbied my front stock bumper, bedlined my grill and added a winch mount for about $200. The winch mount being the most expensive item.

I had posted a similar post but my budget was 100.00.

Here are some of the suggestions that come to mind:

Mag light mod 5.00
Grab handles 20.00
Offroad lights 80.00
Proline roof rails 60.00
Oil pan skid plates
Stubby bumper caps
Sunshade top
