Default Free / Low Buck Mods?

Share your free or low buck mods here. For those of us, that either have too many other toys, or like me, house remodeling that require all of our paychecks, just wondering what we can do on the cheap side.

Sorry if this has been asked before.

I'd say anything that you can fabricate yourself. I have a headache rack in progress that is probably 3 hours from being finished and off to powdercoat.

cost me all of $50 so far....not counting the working lights for the bed that I'm going to put facing the back.
