    So far I've added an Advance folding bed cover and since removed it. Gave it to my son in Maine, he has an 05 2wd. GT perfect fit seat covers. Weathertech floor mats and window vent visors. Waag center brush/grill guard. Hose clamp tailgate mod. Turned off the seat belt chime. Added Ultra-Gauge. Trailer hitch. Softopper. Replaced sun visors with slide out style. Toyota bed extender. Had Firestone Destinations and now Michelin LTX AT2 in stock size. More mods to come; Fog lights, locking storage in bed, intermittent wipers. Now looking for Radio/HU upgrade. and maybe a lift way down the road.

    When I bought my truck with the cap on it, that piece was only half there. I ripped it off before I even drove it home!
    I wish I had kept it for a template though!

    Made this little doodad to hold my tablet. $8 tablet mount on clearance, some left over aluminum angle and foam. Not pretty but it works good and is at a good height. Also doubles as a stand when it's not in the CD slot.

    Yes
    Thanks. Yeah, I don't really use the CD player much anyway. No harm done really. It will only go so far, there is metal there preventing it from going any farther. Once I have my CDs in I really rarely change them and if I want just take the mount out, change and replace the mount.

    What is a CD? :laugh:

    Actually I have some I burned that I've had in there for quite some time but never listen to them. Especially since I added the USA spec iPod interface.
