Best accessory/mod under $100?

[lajlmt]

Hey all, as I wait for my Maverick to arrive I was wondering, what is your best mod you did that cost $100 or less? Looking for ideas on what to do on a budget.

I have a huge list waiting for Amazon Prime Day but my truck is probably 3 weeks away..

For the most part I do functional mods but this was too easy, inexpensive, and cool. $13

I see redneck garage is influencing you lol

I did ge

Second the tailgate assist. Also able to do on a budget: tailgate lettering, extra bed cubby, cover around tailgate hitch.

This exactly..

That is a good idea! Do you have a brand you found is good for maverick?

Splash guards on a hybrid will slightly reduce mpg but should be less than 1 mpg.

I live rural and specifically in an area with no cell service. It's never been a problem anymore than it was before. It's not "that stubby"...

I also contacted RallyArmor who makes mudflaps and they said there will be some for the Maverick. Otherwise, Amazon has tons of cheaper OEM versions or RokBlokz as well. As someone with the RB's... I'd recommend going for the cheaper OEM style ones.

WeatherTech males them too, for about $99.00 (total for front & rear), I just ordered them

1.) Blue Sea Systems 4363 12v outlet (in flexbed cubby) - $45
2.) Screen protector/anti-glare - $23
3.) Towel Seat cover (if you sweat) - $24
4.) Stubby antenna (if you haul stuff on roof) - $20

No cosmetic mods here and no "tailgate assist" either. Just meat and potatoes. The stubby is just o.k. The stock antenna is way better. Also, if I could do over, I'd get a better towel seat cover.

For what it's worth, I went to 5 Below and got a generic anti glare tablet screen protector and cut it to size. Works great. 5 bucks better than 23 I think.

I think the KIA mirror was the first thing I added. $21 with shipping, and then I bought a patch cable from an MTC member for $30. Nice $51 addition gave me an extra compass, a Homelink garage door opener, AND the auto-dimming mirror.

I Looked at the doing the rear view Mirror because I would love to have garage door openers but, I have the Lariat Luxury PKG ands 360 which means it has all the cameras and stuff attached to the windshield and mirror. So, the mirror is an easy attachment but, I can't see anyway to run the wires. Did you have to deal with that or do you happen to have a solution? Thanks any help is appreciated.

Seat covers. I love cloth and spent a little under $100 for my blue Tweed seat covers.

It is really easy. Mine is also a Lariat Lux with both 360 packages. The camera cover pops off easily. The person who built my patch cord used the camera input plug and ran the mirror wires and a USB socket in the patch I think someone else is making a patch cord and selling it here, that uses the power to the lights. Once you pop off the cover , you can easily use either. Just be careful if you use the camera's plug and have 360. The guy had to add more wires to the patch cord to accommodate the extras for the assist package. I've had it this way for 3 months or so. There are YouTube videos linked here in the MTC, just start searching for the mirror and you'll easily find them. I had zero interest in splicing wires to do it.

I always wondered why the drive mod selection button never stays in the "slippery, tow, or eco mode. I purchased the My Mav Mode and It has worked like a charm. The person who sells these gives detailed instructions. It was relatively easy to install, just take your time, installs in less than 30 minutes. Since installing, my Maverick seamlessly goes into Eco mode without me ever having to remember. Everything tucks away so there are no exposed wires or devices. It can be found at the following link.

I feel like this is something Ive seen so many people looking for but this is the first Ive heard of it. Would you be cool with making a thread about it and how it works?
