    1) Removed mud flaps (after one pulled off the first time off roading).
    2) Rear Differential Breather (and spare tire mod) after first time in deep water contaminated the differential oil. Flipped the spare over so you can access the air fill valve on it, without dropping the tire.
    3) Replaced Rugged Fails with Hankook Dynapro ATMs 265/75-16
    4) Light bar (custom made) from my '05 added and modified for 4 lights (2 Euro HIDs, 2 Halogen 100 watt Pencils)

    A bunch a cool stickers, a bada ass MetalMiller Tx Longhorns grill emblem painted Hemi Orange, JBA long tube headers with o2 sims, Diff breather mod, Red LED interior lights, Fancy head unit that plays ipod n movies, Also DIY install factory stuff like, factory cruise control, factory intermittent wipers, OME nitro struts with 886x springs and toy tec top plate, JBA high caster UCA's for better alignmnet and dey beefier too, Old Man Emu Dakar leaf springs in da rear with the gear, U bolt flipper, Ivan Stewart TRD rims with 33" K Bro 2's, some bad ass weather tech floor liners so I don't muck up my interior, an ATO shackle flipper for mo travel in da rear wit the gear, also super shiny Fox 2.0 shocks back there too, all sorts of steal armor for bouncing off of the rocks like demello sliders, AP front skid, trans skid, n transfer skid, demello gas tank skid, and a tough as nails ARB bumper with warn 8k winch, I'm sure there's more
    First was the KN CAI, then came the westin bull bar, then poweraid TB spacer, then came the window tint, next was the lift, then put rain vents and stone deflector, then the DIY washable cabin filter, then the squeaky leaf fix, now I got a set of JBA headers to install will prob do that on the 18th. After that could be one of a few things. Either cat abck exhaust, sliders, or the old fashioned roll bar/light bar for the bed will most likely make a junkyard pull with that.

    My first mod wasn't until last weekend. Using an add-a-circuit I wired a 3 outlet 12v accessory port to an empty fuse slot that turns on with my ignition and mounted it inside of my glove box.

    Then I installed my satellite radio in the cubby under the radio and drilled a hole to run the wires to it directly behind it. Ran the power cord to the accessory port in the glove box. All the wires for it are completely hidden now.

    In the 2nd power port I plugged in the GPS and ran the wire up inside the dash over by passenger side column and then ran it along the bottom of the windshield to the middle of my dash so now all you can see of that cord is what is about 8-10" of it.

    Now no more wires going up the middle of my dash. :)
