those cheapo fleabay headlights aren't too bad. i got a pair of silverstar H4s to put in them on clearance for $4 and they work much better than a 6054 sealed beam!
fyi: i found i had to break off some tabs to get them to fit in the stock buckets.

i had a single small fog light mounted to the hood, that was on 2 switches, one hood switch so that as soon as the hood opened it turned on, and then further up a rocker switch that way i can turn it off during the day and the hood is up... it worked GREAT. the pressure switch was the most expensive at 12 bucks. everything else i had laying around

some silly things ive done to my 86 4runner recently:
new black carpet for the ladies $30 - note, cheap carpet so i dont feel so bad when i destroy it
smittybilt rear bumper, front still needs paint and tabs for the marker lamps $100ea
header (does this count?) $100
sr5 cluster $20 - craigslist gold
window tint of questionable legality $30
LED dome light in camper shell $free, found it
flat black rims $25
painted almost every interior part either flat or semi-gloss black ($20 lots of rattlecans)
leopard print headliner, doors $bling$
wood false floor with drawer and cabinets $120 (would have been cheaper but i paid a friend to make it nice.. one could make a very nice false floor for $30-40 and have the same functionality and about 1/4th the weight of mine)
kill switch (coil) <$10
fabric camper window privacy covers ~$20 not including tons of velcro
ever-important fire extinguisher mod - $free (found this also)
guitar pedal into amp mod - $20
to be continued
still trying to figure out how to get my shifter back about half a foot :| neck and shoulder injuries make shifting between 1st, 3rd, and 5th less fun than it should be and the moving-the-seat-forward mod is not an option

I have seen people use a race mod shifter to kick the shifter back about 3" might run in to the tcase handle in R but might be a little helpful. I will look to see if I can found something to adapt it to our trucks

Torch, vice, and a cheater pipe (after pulling the shifter) is all I did to my Pathfinder.
