    I'm saying someone will probably jack it unfortunately. Hopefully you have it secure in a manner that makes this difficult.

    I adapted your idea Worstbullet. Found what you got at Home Depot. Has a pretty good paint job for the $3 price. I went a little different route. Subtle but I like it.

    Very nice! Someone posted a thread about how they enhanced their bed storage. I am throwing around the idea of using a large portion of the bedside as a storage compartment. It was an original thought but I'm not the first to do it. Has anyone else had this idea? I got it from seeing rambox and Titans storage.

    That box I bought a while ago I had plans to use as extra storage under the bed cubby. Never came to fruition though. It was too thin and just a little too big. It wouldn't be hard to just cut out the bottom and drop some kind of box down in there.

    Oh you mean that. Yeah I also thought of a sort of "trap door" mod for the bed. There is so much unused space under there. I was thinking more of the bed sides.

    I gotcha. You go first. :D I don't know about cutting up a bedside. The cubby I would gladly hack up without too much worry.

    Ha I will go first! But you know I mean the inside right? Not the fender. I have to see the actual benefit and if it actually is useful.

    I used up some of the scraps from the gutter guard to make these light guards. Not sure if I will keep them. It was a quick 10 minute mod, what the hell?
