    Go Rhino D2 Stainless Steel steps, Gator FX3 Tonneau Cover, in bed battery powered Led light, Pop and lock power tailgate lock, keyed locks for all 5 storage compartments, in window channel rain deflectors, front hood bug deflector, weather tech floor mats. More to come...
    I went to a local B&B around the corner from my house when my local Home Depot only had 4 matching keys. I am waiting for my Tonneau cover to get here so this was more of a I want instead of I have to have now. I am glad I did it because I want my stuff secure weather my cover is closed or not.

    Great Ideas! Thanks!!! Definately will use for inside bins.

    I used coated aircraft wire and riveted 1 end to bed storage bin door, and the other end to metal below the plastic. After seeing all the "lost/stolen/missing" doors I figured that would be main concern seeing the hinges are not really attached.
