Default DIY mods?

I've been working with my hands alot lately on my friend's ranger and it made me want to start a new diy project. Anything not too crazy that I could do on my truck? I already did a cold air intake and by the way I don't weld. I just want to do one last lil mod before I start college this fall

Not a fan of plasti dip, or painting anything exterior wise to be exact. I did the tails a long time ago, and I have the stock HEMI drop in bed liner :/

Maybe you can get an idea from some of my home made stuff:

I don't think I'd mess with cut-outs or omitting the cats either. Speculation is that by 2014 there will be federal emission standards (inspections) based on CARB specs. Meaning A) states that currently do not have inspections will and B) no cats or even the ability to bypass cats will fail...

you can get some of that chrome chicken wire lookin stuff and do your grill. you may not beed it, but recalibrating your tps sensor is free, as over time the throttle cable may get streched, did it to mine the other day and seems like im gettin just a tad bit more oomph now as the throttle body is opening all the way.
