    Custom, only one ever designed and built interiors, heavily welded frame, all sharp metal turned bed rack and a roof top I made for $75. Power pedal, injen intake system, cat delete, summit racing brake proportioning valve controlled on the fly, slightly adjusted or perhaps unrecognizable ECM, built in under bed storage, high clearance rear built with 1/4" on a 6011 1/8" rod at 120 amps, 360 degrees of led light, a PA and CB, on board air, on board propane (to cook food), on board fridge made from an old red bull fridge found on some guys man cave built into the storage cubby under the back seat, imported tranny and clutch from a good friend over in Europe to replace this aisin junk we get, combined 32 gallons fuel capacity, 18 5 gallons of water storage, built in gun locker under RTT, and all it cost was to hear the wife ramble on about upset neighbors at 2 in the morning every night since I bought that damn truck..
    The gauge cluster will be last probably, it doesn't work at all. It just pops up every single message that there is some system malfunctioning so if any one wants a list of how many there are lemme know haha but I'm finishing the set up for my dodge now which I think has turned out quite nicely.. but that'll be the configuration I go with but retain the factory dash. The dodge interior is 100% my creation

    I would have liked to put those in but unfortunately my SR5 didn't come with the cutouts from the factory. Not sure if it's even pre wired for it without those.

    My 2021 SR5 was wired for it. It was plug and play when I pulled the filler plates off.

    its charges too slow
    phone get too hot like really hot
    phone has to be in just the right spot, hit a bump and it stops

    i use a lighter plug in with a usb c port and usb c cable and it charges "4 times" faster and phone doesn't get hot

    2018s did not come with the prewiring for bed lights. I bought the Matt Geko Led strips. Work great.

    I like mine and use them all of the time, but the indirect lighting from the Geko setup is probably better because it doesn't blind you looking back in the bed.

    Flattening the hills and straightening the curves. Looks awsome.

    Here’s where I grounded mine. No need to use the self tapping screw on any metal parts. Just replace the round ring connector to fit in the bolt.

    The list is growing.
    Where are these filler plates you speak of?

    Installed these one-touch auto up/down window harnesses. Can't believe this isn't a factory feature (like it is on our 2014 Prius), but I'm glad to have it now. Super easy install and smooth buying experience.

    Installed @MESO stealth pro knob for ECT and garage door. I soldered a pigtail connector with two feet of wires to reach the left cubby for easy acces for remote batt replacement and maybe better reception.

    Since I will be removing the push start and the 4x4 selector panel, I also ordered the MGM chrome delete kit.

    I’m really happy with the outcome even though I just said…no more MoDs!!!




    9E87DF9D-A588-4BA8-AF94-156386CA9029.jpg



    But I was surprised, THANK’S @MESO included a free black shift trim! That’s an $8.00 part. That’s so cool!!! So if you’re near me or want to pay for shipping, you can have this for FREE.
    Sticker NOT included. :D
