    Yeah it does seem rather low and on your line of sight. Interesting.

    I may have the wrong manufacturer that’s on me. Glad they are working out for you.

    Dash cam and the mirror power adapter for it. I brought them to the dealer when I picked up the truck and installed them before I drove it away.

    I would say that the redline ones are well regarded so you can't go wrong there either. I think people choose to what they are comfortable with as far a the product and how it's installed. It you're not comfortable drilling your hood to revit the them on then you buy the ones that I picked.

    Also, internal a/c plugin outlet mod on back of center console so passenger can plug in their laptop while you're driving. And since you're in there do the 400W anytime wiring mod.

    They seem pretty reasonable, you could get 3/$100

    I like that. I actually seen someone do that to the steering wheel on a vehicle. It looked really good too.

    A dash cam will probably be the best mod. I'd say $150-$200 for a good dashcam that isnt a potato. They'll pay off sooner or later when they save you from the pesky insurance scammers

    Here is mine that I installed in less than 2 minutes (no splicing/tapping required)

    -- Garmin DashCam 46 $139 Link
    -- SimpleUSB Mirror to Dashcam Power Adapter $29 Link
    -- 256GB MicroSD Flashdrive $35 Link

    Definitely the glove box organizer, it creates needed space. Next Gasshole. Good seat covers. My are rubber backed to block moisture absorption. Bed mat. DMM dash mount system if you use a GPS or dash cam. Shop for deals on these.

    Only thing is that I learned from experience with my dash cam that the SanDisk ultra memory card isn't the best choice. Mine failed in under a month. The camera wasn't able to record to it and I wasn't able to format it in a PC or Mac even with the SD card tool you can download specific for SD cards, it was completely toasted.

    I would recommend the endurance or extreme type cards the are made for security cameras and dash cams. They can take the temperature extremes of vehicles too. I got a Samsung endurance card and it's been working almost two years so far. It's a little bit more money but money not wasted if you wreak your SD card.
