Whats the best utility mod you've done to your truck?

Back up lights that are on a switch so I can turn them on while hooking to a trailer and not have to leave the truck in reverse.
I really want on board air but I want a motor driven pump, going to have some fabing work to do for that but I think it will be worth it.

Another vote for the rear mounted lights, I picked up a couple at the local farm store and wired them to a switch so I can turn them on or off whenever I want. I originally had them wired into the reverse lights but the seperate switch is so much better. They are also great for if somebody is tailgating you at night, just flip them on real quick and it scares them to death, or blinds them, one of the two. They back off of me then.

i would say putting QC step bars on my Reg. cab truck is my best one so far. gives me that little extra bit i need to step up to my tool box.

Got two that are really great.
1. The running boards, with steps to make it so wife and I can get in the big high truck easer with her bad leg and my bad hip.
2. Tool box with built in eleteric tounnue cover.
Also in the bed i have a 2x8 across the back in the slots to hold it. I have a milk crate grunge cord to hold it with the odds and ends it it. Also carry 2 plastic totes upside down so they don't get water in them, and when grocery shopping put the stuff in there. Easy to carry.

Perimeter lighting, by FAR the best thing ever.
see my thread, works with keyless remote (fogs, back ups, cargo lite)
and it's controlled by the factory Cargo light switch, i used it for ~2 hours last nite.
had a guy coming to buy a car trailer, but had to get some parts from him in a utility trailer.
i had to move them all around the yard, unlock, & lock back.
it's SO much easier than toting a flashlight.
lets you see where the dogs are too,with back up lites on, even when you are going forward.
check the oil last nite using the fog lite,
hit the key & see!
