What did you have? Chrome?Powder coated my OEM 20s for $360.
Dirt cheap and a HUGE difference.

Love the concept. I'm a scrounger, recycler and repurposer from before it was cool. Thanks for starting the thread.
In my state, combined with the camper, I needed heavy weight plates. 2 steps up, in fact. That means I don't need a rear plate but without one, there is a big hole, looking at the spare tire. Didn't like that, so looked for an alternative.
It was around 10 bucks.
Needed a mount for the trailer cam monitor. Of course I'd seen the Built Right stuff but I wanted something lower profile and less obvious. Cheaper didn't hurt either.
The monitor came with it's own mount and I had some mini bungies that came in an assortment I bought a long time ago.
Just cut small holes in the dimples so the bungie hooks could fit and cut the bungie shorter to tighten it up.
When I'm done with it, or want to hide it, just unstrap it and put the rubber mat back in.
At just 20 some dollars, I think Snake's battery monitor should qualify. I haven't bought it yet but if I start experiencing repeated battery weirdness, I won't hesitate.

Like the setup. This is things I like to see too simply that you had a pretty good idea how to mount something and someone else may see it and save alot of time and or money .Love the concept. I'm a scrounger, recycler and repurposer from before it was cool. Thanks for starting the thread.

I used my stock wheels off of my 2015 Platinum.
I still have my stock wheels off of the 2022 and will probably powder coat them also.

Decal/badge removal is free.
Cheap replacement tremor parts for the rear wheel well fender air fins. Could always cut the stock fins if not wanting to purchase tremor units.
Stubby antenna is cheap.
Powder coat wheels.
Change lugs to black if don't want chrome.
Light bulb replacements to LED depending on model.
Remove and/or paint the stock chrome exhaust tip.
Remove side steps.

Yep, and pulling that 4X% decal the day after I got it home is still one of my favorite mods
FORScan Freeware + an inexpensive OBD dongle can yield another batch of great mods (varies with your trim level).

I've seen alot of stuff for the FORscan but kind of scared to start messing with all that since I'm not very tech savvy when it comes to that I might mess something up.Yep, and pulling that 4X% decal the day after I got it home is still one of my favorite mods

I'm not even sure if I'd even be able to do much considering I have an xl/stx

Looking good. I see a few wheel sets on eBay that claim to be freshly powder coated but haven't jumped on it yet. I'd rather have black than the factory gray that comes with sport package.I used my stock wheels off of my 2015 Platinum.

Yah they are awesome.
I brought the older rims in the bed of the truck with tires on em, they dismounted, cleaned, powder coated, mounted, balance and swapped rims onto the truck and put my new ones in the bed.
And the kicker...
I dropped off at 8am and she goes, "ok we should be done by 1pm"
And I was like, "......today?"
I was expecting like a week or so.
They rock.
