    ImMrYo Rear view mirror lift bracket. Changed out mud flaps. Salex glove box organizer. OEM Ashtray (cup). AVS Step Shields. 16x8 SCS F5 Matte Jet Black. 265/75 16 Cooper St Maxx. OME Bp-51s. U.S. Offroad Winch Mount (in process) Smittybuilt x20 12k synthetic winch (in process) More....
    Looks good. I'd suggest vertically elongating the bolt holes. That will allow it to fit 2nd and 3rd gens. The 3rd gen rail sits a little lower than the bed cap than the 2nd gen.

    Yes, great idea. I bought some bed rails from somebody and they ended up being for a 2nd gen. I just drilled em out and made them work lol.
