    Winter boredom at work again. I can't take credit for this one but it seems to work so so. For anyone with a 6 speed that changes out their shift knob with something aftermarket or DIY. You are left with that ugly chrome bezel at the top of the shift boot. I have used a rubber washer for years and has done the job. Decided to give this a go. $3 at Autozone. Had to order it but it fits like it was made for this spot. It is a little cheapy rubber looking but I may try to clean it up a bit.

    Great looking truck man, love all the cheap mods. How much do you think that DIY roof rack would hold? Does it seem pretty sturdy with just L brackets on the bottom of the cross bars?

    The roof rack is very sturdy. I actually used the L brackets on the inside angles. The mesh bolted to the top really added a lot of rigidity. I had it propped up off the floor when I was building it and was walking all over it with no issues.
