    Keep an eye on the ForSale forum, lots of those parts come up, folks not doing the installs, and dumping spare parts.

    Detailing is one I am a fan of. Gets you outside in the nice weather too and can work at your own pace.

    Maybe extra D-rings for the bed too if you don't already have them?

    Good luck man. My coworker had the same surgery a few years ago and said she wishes she did it sooner.

    I don't see any reason that couldn't be mounted on a roof or bed rack.

    I know that led reverse lights were mentioned but you might consider wiring up some auxillary reverse lights. I added a pair on mine and the difference was signficant. Just a thought, ive heard changing the bulbs to leds dont make much of a difference.

    On a serious note, the fog light anytime mod is a good one. Or D-rings on the bed bolts. I use mine often.

    I made one smaller than this to fit in the back of my truck, with spearfishing banding. We use hedgeballs for ammo. The original idea was to use it for water ballons. The instructions were in a Pop-Sci article.
