    Bought a 08 DC LB last week and immediately did a "soft" mod (seat belt beep disabled). New stereo is on the way, replacing that OEM junker. The stereo would have been first, but took a few days to arrive.

    First mod= Fog lights on anytime. I cannot stand the way the factory does the lights. My old Jeep was the same, I wonder if it is a law or something?? I dont see how it can be though, the light itself is legal and having them on is leagal, but why do they go off when the brights get turned on?? The world may never know. JOE>

    The first thing I did put a TLCA sticker on the back window. And I put in the USA spec ipod adapter from my previous 05. I don't know as if I'll do anything else. Maybe better speakers. I already have one lifted truck and I like the truck stock. I might go to some General Grabber AT2's like I had on my last 05 when the stock rugged trails wear out. And I'll probably replace the stock TRD Bilsteins with real Bilstein HD's when the time comes. Other than that I plan on leaving it be.
