    Mostly stock with a few minor mods.
    Do you think that Raptor Liner would hold up on some rims? I have an extra set I want to clean up and spray black.

    They have a spray etch primer and I would definitely use that on rims. If you are ok with not ever restoring them to original condition I would give it a go. I used a plastic adhesive promoter and so far it looks great.
    I sprayed the inside of my tailgate with no prep just washed it. Curious to see how it holds up on the painted surface.

    Crossing fingers for you on that one.
    If you do the USB ports, it's not hard, but you will probably have to enlarge the hole from the original 12v socket.
    The USB unit I got was quite a big larger in diameter than the hole was, not much, but enough to cause some cussing if you are not ready for it...
    And, not having a large enough step drill on hand, it was the dremel to the rescue!

    IIRC in the end it was really only 4-5 parts of the dash that need to come off to get to that bottom center panel.
    Lower part under the steering wheel, the heater/AC controls, the radio, and the 2 center vent covers (which come off in one piece)

    I took off more than I needed too. :)

    That sounds like a great hack and something I would like to do!!
    I will start searching for these other posts.
    Any clues? nevermind, found several!

    Well, it’s about time I caught up. Lost my old account email access. I was Asian Driver 14. Anyways, within the last few months, I broke a tail light loading pressure treated wood, added 265/75/16 Hankook Dynapros, Alpine under seat subwoofer (found on fb marketplace for a hundred bucks!), and added a Pioneer Apple Carplay head unit. Oh and a while back I got an OEM bed mat off FB marketplace for $24! And new to me headlights that are less faded than mine for $50, again off FB

    Dunno if it counts as something for my 2nd gen (It goes in my 2nd gen?) but I 3d printed a shower nozzle for the solo pump/scepter water jug setup.

    Seemed like a more elegant solution than trying to source a shower nozzle hose and adapters.

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

    I grew up there. Funny how many times I have explained what a parish is. Then try to explain police jury.
