Help me spend $300 on my truck... looking for suggestions

[COToy91]

I just graduated from college and I have a little bit of spare cash to spend on the crawler, $300. My rig is pretty built as far as axles, tcase, trans, engine, suspension. I am thinking about building an anti wrap bar for the rear, but I am open to other ideas... SO let me know what ideas you have for spending my money. Here are some pics to show what we are working with.

I have thought about it, I just never got around to bending some tube and welding it to my winch plate. Plus i dont care about the body enough lol. Where can I buy one for $300 anyways?

Can't tell from your pics or description, but maybe on board air?

I have a york air compressor on the 4.3L chevy under the hood and the bed is an air tank, but that would be a very good idea

If you got a bender, steel to make a plate or tube bumper will be under 100 bucks, then get bobbys dowel mod like shown, fill tank up, buy beer, give rest to a girl scoput or someone, buy a kid a toy. Id wanna protect that nice winch you got, but I smack my hanger alot how I drive.

These are good ideas--the OBA and anti-wrap, too.  Can't tell for sure from the pics, but how 'bout DYI beadlocks?  Synthetic winch line and a Hawes fairlead to replace the vulnerable roller fairlead?  Dual battery set up for the big amp alt. you're probably gonna tell me you already have?

Crazy how quick 300 bones can go in this hobby, and barely even notice. Lmao, all fun tho

A small 5# propane tank, a propane distribution tree with lantern, a portable BBQ grill, and whatever you like to grill seem like a good way to spend it as well!

A PETT toilet system is good too.

how hydro assist steering?

X2.  I bought all the parts to build a traction bar piece by piece.  Would have been nice to buy it all at one time like that.  I still have to get mine fab'd up this winter.

I'd suggest a traction bar Ryan.

That's a NICE 4Runner behind you in that pic, hahahahahah

I'd also think about a fire extinguisher and mount.
Here's a nice quick release bracket to mount to your rear tubework
