    Bunch of Basic Taco mods.
    Gussying up a used OEM roof rack. Wiped the plastics down with Griot’s vinyl and rubber dressing to add some UV protection, sanded the roof bars with 600 grit and laid a few coats of flat black top and bottom.

    And yes, I know they’ll just get scuffed again and I’m really anal retentive. You ought to see what it’s like to work with me.

    Washed all the dust off the truck.
    And installed a FLOWMASTER 50 DELTA muffler.
    Like the deep mild sound . Happy with that.

    I started to replace the interior lights with LED's. These were leftover from a KIA I had as I didn't have the exact ones. Worked fine. :thumbsup: Still need a couple more.

    The other thing I did. Hurst t handle for my Hurst core shifter. Still playing with the placement, but that's been the most comfortable so far

    And lighted 4x4 switches. I forgot about that. Used the kit on here, I'll tag the guy in a minute.

    I love the Hurst core shifter. Huge difference. The website claims a 40% reduction and it definitely feels like it

    None that turning up the radio can't fix...

    I'm kidding. I thought the noise was due to lighter knobs.but don't quote me on that. I've run a heavy steel knob since I got it and just switched to the t handle, which is also heavy.

    Installed 1” styrofoam insulation in my ARE DCU cap today. All done except for the top/side front and back corners since I’m waiting on that to mount and wire lights for the outside. Man what a pain in the ass this was. Not hard but because I’m ocd about this stuff it took longer than I thought. I have FRP shower board to install and I know that’s going to be fun...

    Dobinson’s coils and shocks. SOS sliders, ditch light brackets, and front skid. Rigid ditch lights. BFG KO(dos) More minor stuff.

    Just curious as to why the insulation?
