    Lots baby!

    The cup holder just pulls out.

    I had an upholstery shop make the shift boot. However, there is a guy on XRU that will make you a custom shift boot.

    quick and dirty bumper repair. Got in a low speed fender bender w a tree that broke a few of the mount points off. This was 3 years ago and it is still holding perfect. The outside is a bit fugly as far as the impact but shape is perfect.

    maybe not unusual, since some production vehicles com with dual tanks, but maybe uncommon.
    put a 15 gallon fuel tank in the bed with dual pumps that transfer the fuel into the main tank with the flip of a switch

    [​IMG]

    Fits perfectly between the wheel wells in the bed, just under the tool-box. turns what is essentially unusable space into nearly twice the driving range.
    fill cap is guarded by the toolbox, yet easy to get to. however, I am working on routing a filler neck to the edge of the bed, so I don't have to hop in the bed to fuel every time I want to use the spare tank.

    Excuse my ignorance, as I haven't yet done a bit of research on this, but, why two fuel pumps?

    Faster transfer rate, and if one were to fail, you can keep on pumping. Just takes twice as long of course. Together, the pumps will transfer all 15 gallons to the stock tank in 12-15 minutes.

    How'd you wire that up. I've seen the thread for the 3.5mm jack. I'm planning on doing it this spring. The usb is sweet. Where did you get the little black plastic thing?

    Just some generics off of Amazon. Found the highest flow rated pumps I could without spending a fortune on a racing pump.
