    I think I have something like 20 liner feet of the track system in the back of the truck. It's a time saver and gives peace of mind. Moar pics in my build thread.

    Here is a neat mod that is frugal and helpful for those with shells.

    Ceiling cargo system. I use it to hang wet / damp items that need to dry.

    I hand made these brackets, nylock nuts, wire rope and ferrule stops.

    Here is what a 4-year old brain will do with the cargo system.

    I dovetailed right off that mod into the fridge lid holder, which my wife really likes.

    Anyone ever made their own fender liner for the rear wheel well? Done some searching and seen a couple guys, one who used diamond plate rubber and the other used ABS plastic. But I can't find where they got stuff from or anything. Any suggestions?

    It worked for my Galaxy S4. Not so much for my Nexus 6 if it's plugged in. Those pads need a little refreshing with a splash of water to keep them non-slip.

    Reminds me of a parachute static line

    [​IMG]

    Which in this case would be a LoNo jump (low altitude, no opening)

    You guys that have put the bottle opener in the bed....do the screws just screw into the plastic?....are you using the screws that come with the opener? Seems like if it is just screwed into the plastic, it would be easy to pull out.

    I just measured and drilled some holes first and then screwed the screws into the plastic. Its on there very tightly and I tried moving it to see if it would loosen up, and didn't move one bit.

    Yes
    Yep, small hole. Large thread screws and it won't go anywhere.
