Now what?

I have done quite a few mods to make this truck fit my needs. I would like to get a body lift and put 31's on but that is just not possible. The years of salt and rust around here would make the body lift a nightmare, not to mention the cost of new tires. I have just recently noticed the mass amounts of rust under the bed. One of the crossmembers supporting the bed is rusted completely through (the one with the charcoal canister). I had sprayed underneath with rustoleum this summer too and it was not that bad.
I did splurge and purchase bilsteins because of the new buy 3 get 4th free deal. I'll have spent as much on both sets of purchased shocks as if I had bought the bilsteins outright first. Oh well live and learn.
What else is left for me to do on the truck? (within reason of course)
I have had lots of fun the past few years tinkering and working on it as a daily driver. I was thinking of perhaps a winch for recovery but I don't do any hardcore offroading as it is and have not even gotten stuck yet so I don't think a winch is necessary, also it would be rather pricey not to mention a front mounting point and wiring.
Any other thoughts?? Maybe just switch to maintenance? The truck has only about 65k miles. I guess I just need a new hobby or something! Maybe its time to get back into building computers... they are just as expensive as automotive and it would be junk by tomorrow.
