    Here is my frugal solution for bed lighting under my tonneau cover. There are lots of options for battery powered leds. I used one of the light switch types. It is attached by velcro strips so it can double as a flashlight as well as remove if the cover is off (then use the factory bed light). What kind of cheap and useful stuff have you guys done?

    The most useful mod I've done was these extra tie down points on the bed cubbies. I use them often for securing gas cans, propane and co2 bottles, cargo crates etc. All I did was pinch the D-rings together and used the factory bolts to secure in place.

    Wasn't exactly a truck mod but I just cut a five foot piece of 3/4 inch pipe insulation and glued it to my parkade wall to prevent any damage to my door.

    Great. Thanks for the info. Where exactly does someone find silicone rings? I've never seen them anywhere before.

    Since I'm assuming my pictures didn't show up, even though I can see them on every browser, here they are again.
