Ok Gents,

 

I'm new over here but definitely not new to cars and trucks. I wanted to start a thread for modifications and accessories under $100. I've see some cool stuff here for the "budget minded" truck owners so I wanted to see what all you guys have come up with.

 

So far I've seen:

Painted or powdercoated bow ties or debadging

cheap leveling kits

low budget bed lights

 

What else do you guys have to contribute?

 

Thanks in advance!

That looks really nice. How did you do it?

The only things I've done at or under 100 bucks is replace my mirror covers and door handles with chrome ones, and removed the Chevy bed Z71 stickers, but added the GMC Z71 chrome plates to the front quarter panels just like the Sierras have. I'll be adding the chrome tailgate handle and painting the bezel to match my truck. Everything else I've done has been well over 100 bucks...

You're telling me that with two less door handles,you paid under 1 bill?? Or are the chrome ones a lot less than painted ones. From Ebay I had to pay 230 for painted handles and covers takeoffs.

For regular cab chrome handles it was 70 bucks from the parts department at my dealership. 100 for the mirror covers. You can look on Chevy's website, too. They have an accessories page that lists all the prices.

haha Yeah, I wish! This stuff isn't cheap, not even the little things.

 

I do love this blue. It's the reason I drove 82 miles and into a neighboring state to get the truck.

    • Why does Mobil Premium cost 90 cents a gallon more than Shell Premium when their regular offerings are but pennies apart? 
    • Was all the way down to $3.69 a gallon but then jumped back to $3.99 just because for some reason.   Diesel floats between $4.80's to $5.10ish a gallon. I even saw Diesel #1 for $6.09 today but nobody in there right mind even buys that in the summer.
    • Mine just keeps lagging or getting stuck on the reverse camera. When I turn off the truck, get out, and close the door it will still stay on. It’s very intermittent and I would not be able to duplicate the issue. 
    • I was checking out fuel prices at my farm fuel retailer at their pumps and yes the farm price is a bit lower than the non dyed fuel and was glad to see that the regular farm gas price has dropped a lot from what it had been but what blew me away was the price of diesel as the spread now compared to before the prices went up earlier in the year, diesel was actually slightly lower than gas which was a switch from the theme the last number of years. However that sure isn't the theme lately and definitely not right now. The prices I will post are not from that retailer but just looking at gasbuddy for the main city in this area and instead of posting the lowest price someone found I will list the higher price ( and that may not be the highest price, just whatever someone posted on gasbuddy ).   So regular gas and there are a lot of stations listing the same price for regular is 1.68 a liter, premium 2.00 a liter. Diesel 2.03 a liter for a top price I saw on diesel.   Figures out to 6.36 a us gallon Canadian funds for regular and 7.68 for diesel. With the US exchange rate it would be 4.58 us for regular and 5.53 for diesel.    Thought I would figure that out to get a picture of what it settles out like compared to various US prices and its about the same as the current price in Fairbanks AK as Anchorage tends to be lower. So yes, these would be the prices and higher along the way on the Alaska highway where they know they have a captured market !, for fuel prices for those beginning the long drive back to the lower 48   The problem is our Canadian dollar and going to the states that have the high prices, boy do we pay then !
    • Just wanted to get a idea of how many of you still have problems with your radio cutting out during the first few minutes of driving, my 2024 GMC Sierra still does this after a little over 2 years of complaining to my dealer about it, and OTA updates no longer complete, the check for updates in settings is greyed out for the second time while trying to install a update, my dealer took about a week to play around with it the first time this happened, and somehow got the check for updates to work, even though it would always show system is up to date when I knew it wasn't, now again 1 month later its greyed out again when the OTA update N25-F163BU tried to install, which ironically is the update to help with reliability of future updates.
