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.

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

Some simple things:
Center console trays / Glovebox divider (people do report the glovebox one being kind of a waste)
- The center console tray I linked can be used with both levels, or just one. I personally only use the top and it's the best fitting one I have tried.
Screen protector.
Stubby antenna. (Stubby 4" and Stubby JR 2")
Tailgate letter inserts.

Good call on screen protector. Have one on my bronco and it saved me from tons of scratches! Stubby antenna looks good but I live out rural so may actually need to extend my antenna to even pick up local stations.

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.

Thanks for the info. Do you happen to have the brand you went with for your antenna? I've always been worried that the range is reduced with the shorter antennas but if you have had good results in rural areas I'll have to give it a tryI live rural and specifically in an area with no cell service.

Your results may vary, but even in the mountains of MT I've not had any issues. Buffering is to be expected lol. Create offline playlists and download offline maps
It'll still catch GPS as needed.
I have the OEM. They are easy to install and seem like good quality.

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.
