    A few mods here and there and counting....
    Very simple. I used a razor blade and scrape the tabs off the usb/aux switch. Takes all of a minute.

    Like a little Audi? I've taken this thing to Moab and rallied the hell out of it with no consequence. Unless you were crawling across trenches or off good size ledges, I don't see how that could really happen.

    Ants built that one for me back in 2014. I believe it was the Gatling gun shrouds. Since then, I have the LS460R built by Andrew before he stopped offering this service

    It was actually very easy. You file down two parts of the USB/AUX jack, not the panel.

    You'll see what tabs keep the part from sliding in. Just file them off and it will snap in, no problem. I used painters masking tape so I wouldn't scratch the rest of the switch.

    Did an involuntary fuel tank strap delete on the way home from work. The half of the strap was banging on the driveshaft. That was my first clue.

    Glad I had ratchet straps with me.

    Most of my interior back together. Hopefully Saturday will be as nice as they say.
    Ditched my dark grey console and installed a light grey one.

    Did it rust off?
    Did the gas can drop any?

    Filled up with gas yesterday. Hit a bump and heard a metal on metal with the driveshaft and strap interaction. Pulled over and the tank dropped about 3 inches. Not even mad about it other than having to spend the money for new straps. Could have been so much worse. Ratchet strapped it up and kept going home. The roads seemed so much worse knowing the tank is trying to yeet itself out of my truck.

    What kinda bump did you hit?
    That's why I was wondering if it rusted off...

    The dark grey looks like it's black. The color of my interior is "graphite". The darker center console looked out of place with the lower dash and door panels light grey so I swapped them out for light grey parts.

    I kept the carpet the same color as what the truck came with, hides the dirt better.
