    Yes. That is much less bothersome than the beeping, however.

    One of the things I've not regretted is getting window deflectors, especially in the summer. It's been especially nice in the rain where I can crack the window down and still get a breeze in without the rain seeping in to the cabin.

    Just did those a month ago and since i also like to drive with the windows slightly opened... Was a little worried how much i had to bend them to install but they went in without issue.

    Stock with a camper shell for now.
    Does this remove the beeping from no seatbelt ?

    Yessir! And the door open chime. And your blinker clicking noise. I mulled about losing the blinker noise but decided that I usually have my audio bumping during most drives and cant hear it anyway! NO RAGRETS (no, not even a single letter) :rofl:

    I can't figure out what I'm looking out other than it's a window mod but I see what looks like the grill down on the right ?????? Is this like a rear door window to keep Fido from going out the window ?

    It's netting behind the front grille to catch rocks and inhibit any damage/mess from flying rocks/debris/bugs

    minor tweaks
    I added lockable doors to my bed cubbys, sealed the cubby openings and added a uv proof poly cover and key lock.

    On the other side I added another keyed alike lockable cubby wired into the truck battery through a 50A breaker under the hood. It's for various DC power needs in the bed and topper.

    Think this was like $8

    Replaced the rubber vent hose on the transfer case motor with 4 mm thin wall silicone tubing. Just the portion that makes the bend into the motor itself and joined it together with regular straight section about 1 foot upwards . Seen several pics of the normal rubber hose cracking and splitting on the vent nipple and allowing water inside.

    This was my test fit on 7/16 drill bit which is same diameter as the vent nipple.

    Until I find something better..... My Folgers mountain grown, medium dark roast center console organizer, works pretty well at holding small items.
    And, it sits below and doesn't interfere with the aftermarket organizer up top.

    Saw someone on here post some 3d printed rod holders. Decided to get them. Sorta sucky if you have a tonneau that lowers your rails but still works.

    Ah..the old "my fogs are actually auxiliary headlights"

    You can be ticketed in a lot of jurisdictions for that so be careful there's a lot of power tripping cash grabbing cowboys out there

    I use a koozie. Also I stuck an adhesive velcro patch on the inside arm rest storage console and used a velcro molle adapter to stick a pouch there. In the photo you can see the velcro I put on the back of the console, but the side worked out better for me. The velcro has been there for about five years. I had one on the inside of the lid but with the weight of an even smaller pouch the velcro adhesive failed. The Victory 4x4 lid molle panel would be cool, but I don't yet have a reason to spend the money.
