    For style points, don't overlook a good set of Truck Nutz.

    In two years you ran out of modding ideas? Modders run out of money not ideas. You are not trying hard enough.

    Ideas:

    Super charger, window tint, sub woofer, seat covers. Don’t need seat covers; get a dog.

    UPDATE: finally got the TRD Skid plate in and installed and it looks great. Thank you @Matt123 for your assistance you were a pleasure to work with!

    My Cobra 29 LX CB radio got in yesterday and I’m pouring through all the forums I can find on where to mount it and what kind of antenna I should get. I was thinking either going with a Firestik 4’ and mounting to my bed by the cab or going with a Wilson short antenna that I can throw up and down when I’m hauling boats and stuff on my roof.

    I want something I can get on when no cell coverage is present and can cover around 2-5 miles or so.

    Once again suggestions are welcomed.

    The carbon fiber is sooooo sweet! I want to do that. Was it hard to do?

    upload_2018-7-26_8-19-35.jpg Further update; my apologies for falling off the map. I have made yet another move and been weirdly busy.

    I bought and sold three different CB Set ups since I didn’t like the way they I could place them. I finally settled on the Cobra 75 WX ST and ran the 4’ Firestik out of the Relentless Fabrication driver side mount which is bad to the bone.

    I now have decided I want to get some seat covers from cover king (bottomland camo) because of all the mud and stuff I’m dragging in. I also want to get one of the attics from Blue Ridge Overland Gear to keep my maps and stuff relatively handy.

    At the same time Bilstein 5100’s and some A/T tires are on my shirt list.

    One question I do have is I’ve been looking at the voodoo racks and they are sweet but are there any option or alternatives to putting a cover on over or under it to sleep in the bed if I go that route?

    Once again thank you for your input!

    Tally ho!

    SOS Offroad Concepts makes a rack that goes over a best top sof topper.

    BROG makes some great stuff they are a little over an hr away.from me so I can go there and gawk at all the cool stuff. Look at some of there Velcro backed pouches and stick them to the transmission tunnel I have one like that for samller items and it's out of the way and easily accessible. The attic I think is better suited for holding a raincoat or something along those lines
