    First mod - new wheels, tires, and Softopper:
    IMG_6481.jpg

    Then installed the Prinsu, Plano boxes, and ditch lights:

    Mounting the Maxtrax on the Prinsu:

    Installing the bed stiffeners over the BedRug (total pain in the ass, but worth it):

    Good looking pro man. Who makes the bed cage you have over the softopper? Been looking around for something like that to go over the future softopper.

    Thanks guys. I'll get some new pics up once I finish the next round of mods. @justyr1 that rear rack/cage is made by AllPro Offroad. They'll make it specifically to fit over the Softopper - highly recommended.

    Added Shiftsense Pro V2 and Raptor lights this weekend. Very happy with both of these upgrades. I'd highly recommend Shiftsense to anyone looking for much smoother shifting and overall driving quality.

    Nice rig, indeed!! How do you like the Shiftsense? I have a pedal commander and have been happy with the response so far.

    @tkwny I'm loving the Shiftsense. Just on this last tank of gas my fuel economy is up about 2 mpg, which I wasn't expecting. More importantly, it shifts properly and doesn't hunt for gears anymore. I was looking at the pedal commander and that seems pretty cool too. Anything to make these trucks more responsive.

    Yep. That sounds similar to my experience with the PC. Although, it sounds like your MPG improvements may be better than mine. I'm running 285/70/17 KO2s (C) these days. What about yours? I can't tell from the pics.
