Shorty antenna. I removed the antenna, took a pair of pliers and popped the ball off the end. Cut it so it is about a foot and a half long. Filed the freshly cut end and popped the ball back on, then re install. 0$ and the thing doesn't get caught on trees any more, and reception is nearly as good as before.

My personal favorite is the Jeep dimple mod. Pretty simple to do. Just park on a slight downslope remove the straps that hold the front door from opening all the way(now comes the trickiest part). Start to open the door and then let it go BAM instant dimples. Chicks dig them and they are all the rage 
with alot of JK owners.

Here's something that might help you with the winshield iceing up. I took about fifteen feet of 1/4 inch tubing and wrapped it around my radiator hose then spliced it into my washer fluid hose. What this does is, it heats heats up the waher fluid and sprays a warm steam of washer fluid onto the windshield. I've done this on a few vehicles in the past and have never had an issue with the windshield cracking, because you should already have the defroster on which has already taken the chill off the window and started to heat it up. The fluid will only become hot when the vehicle warms up. Doc, total cost $5, the after market kit runs about $150. The hose I used was from Lowes, in their yard sprinkler suplies. Works great. The longer the hose the more heated fluid you will have in reserve. This wont heat the fulid in the tank, as this is fluid that has already exited the tank.

20.00 dollar tailgate mod.
my tailgate mod from home depot for about 20.00 bucks quick fists included, but w/o the axe or shovel.
also drilled the side mirrors
and yeah, I did the door ding dimple mod ( one of my first mods too.)
I know this wasn't free ....but it was stuff I allready had in the shop.

Definitely remove stock badges.
The grill mesh mod, very cheap.
Rear view mirror mod.
Hood zip tie mod.
Relocate Ipod to center console.
Remove 'third eye' brake light and install LED bar light on hardtop. (Less than $20)
Herculine hardtop for more durability. (not cheap but well worth it after some really tough trails)
Removed back seat.
Relocate Sirius satellite antenna.
Drilled side view mirrors.
I have to look into the Evap relocate mod.
