    Not really a “mod”, but that OEM bed mat makes a hell of a difference vs having nothing back there at all.

    Full Cali Raised truck bed MOLLE panel system would be my vote, though I’m adhering 100% to the title of the post, ie ‘Single best improvement YOU’VE made’. I bought my 2019 TRD OR SB gently used w/ 8k miles and it had a BAKflip G2 on it already. Great improvement and extremely useful, but no effort on my part.

    The MOLLE system lets me carry 4 gals of Rotopax fuel/water, my recovery gear(shovel/axe), assorted pouches w/ tiedowns, radios, tire deflators, first aid kit, extension cords, folding chair, and any misc items more or less using up otherwise dead space. Not to mention it gives me many light duty tiedown points and many options for mounting future equipment. Gear that I want kept in the truck at all times goes on the MOLLE system(in under rear seat storage too) while I keep gear for multiple applications in 2 Plano sportsman bins in the bed and just transfer them to my other vehicles or into storage at my townhome as needed.

    Other very useful item is the 9 compartment center console organizer. I cannot understand the folks who just toss random junk in there to roll around unorganized. Bloody savages.

    I remember reading somewhere that the clutch start cancel actually puts some kind or stress on the clutch somehow and should only be used sparingly? Anyone know what I'm talking about or did I make that up in my mind?

    You kind of made it up. If you use it to start in gear (like on an incline to prevent a rollback) it’s not great for your starter. That’s the risk. As long as you start in neutral no wear to the clutch or starter
