    Been wanting a long bed since buying a 4 door 1st gen 2 years ago. Found one recently and traded. It's a 2020 with 23,000 miles. Love it so far! Starting this to keep up with everything I do to it.

    The day I brought it home....

    First things first, remove the air dam.

    My friend @IPNPULZ sent me a MESO LED dome light so I ordered MESO LED map lights, so much brighter.

    Got this idea from someone here but don't recall who. The tractor tire radio mod. Found a broken spindle from one of my sons tractors and used it after cleaning it.

    Ordered some bed lights and got our 9 year old to help me install them. Luckily it was prewired and a 5 minute job.

    One reason I wanted a long bed. Can close the tailgate with the 4 wheeler in it.

    This build gets a 9.9! Would get a definite perfect 10 as soon as you figure out how to get rid of that long bed. :p

    That’s badass. Here in the Gulf States region, we get the TSS model. It’s pretty lame. Base SR 2.4L with wheels, tires, and a bedside sticker. I see your XP package is added onto TRD trims which I like.
