CDL if you don't have one, then HIR's, or if you have not done it yet change diffs/tranny fluids. Or the bumper that shotts has on his LX.

HIR bulbs, or AirLift rear air springs (latter might be $105 now...).
Going off to search on that auto-up thing...

IMHO, CDL and HIRs hands down. This should be just under $100.

CDL is excellent, gets you out, gets you home more times than you will realize if you wheel it.
Raven's temp mod has literally saved me thousands and Raven did mine personally for free food!
I built my entire rear cargo box for less than $100. It has really held up and serves me well as storage, anchor points, sleeping platform, etc.

I honestly don't see a point in the dash cup holder and George's LED's. I think the truck lights up fine at night and it already has two cup holders. I refuse to pay $60 for a third holder, HE!! that's what I have my girlfriend for! HAHHAHA
I am thinking of an after market alarm next so that I know my truck locks rather than checking the handle every time. But may not be under $100
