orange taco on the North Sho

Well, guess I should start this...
'17 sport stick double door short bed that is orange.....

Added bed rings (4)
Added a Lobster car 'trunk'
Got 4 of the big doohickey track attachments
Added on a TGL Hitch Step
Put on the new-to-me VooDoo bed rails this afternoon (thanks Skeeter42!)
and of course put a couple of images up in the HU too....



want to get
bed mat
better floor mats
bed rack of some sort
bed cover (probably going to make out of wood and sheath in diamond plate)
umm..more toys....lights....etc...

 

Looking good from a Fellow Masshole.

 

oop.....picked up my bed mat and am still waiting for it to go flat
removed the bedside stickers for full orange-ish
bed head track arrives tomorrow....bike fork mounts going on there
grill switch coming soon....

 

bed head track added
gasshole installed (come on...i love that name!)
and popped on some Predator steps too

 

put on a Rola pickup rack (f'n kerfuffle) and a blacked out derped SR grille to darken the front end...

 

few more things: made an 2 piece bed cover out of aluminum tubing and aluminum/polycarbonate panels.
they sit on the bulky bed tie down thingies...
Need to finish bed lining the top.


Got OEM roof rack installed this past weekend...and popped the bed rack back on for the warm weather activities that involve long things....

 

Installed MESO turn signals and Puddle Pods this weekend...

 

lets see...
got a few things in the basement ready to go on, but I was able to get the CaliRasied Bed Stiffeners on this weekend. I had the fun of upgrading the hardware to stainless black oxide button head Hex bolts as Amazon lost most of the hardware out of the box for me....
yes, I trimmed the bed mat to lay flat as well cuz that bugged me~

 

Nice truck, the things that make it yours, nice.

 

And next up, I got the shapeways 2 button center panel for the ceiling so that I can put the MESO puddle Pod switch up there.
That was fricken easy, nothing fancy at all once I get a nod from @pc3coyote on how to ground it up there.
Works like a charm and looks pretty slick. IF my wife had not walked by when I was installing it I bet that she would have never seen the switch up there and that I moved them around.

 

Puddle Pod switch installed and traction control shifted. I learned that the puddle pod switch is not lit after beating myself up about doing it wrong....

Pulled the scoop off and dipped it and installed the SpartanX scoop light bar (have to run wires still though)



Less glare from the scoop now!

 

Hood skewp looks good. I’m debating doing the same thing

 

It is going to help cut down the glare...I would like to also to the closest section of the hood to the windshield as that gets me all the time as well...

 

Got my front camera (Natika from Amazon) and Front and backup camera anytime plug and play kit (From @FreshMexicanTaco)...

That is easier to use than I had imagined...love it!

And the other project I needed to finish, cuz both were going through the firewall, was finishing my SpartanX scoop light.
Honestly, this one scared me thinking about it but it was totally unfounded. Steve did such an awesome job building up the harnesses and pieces. Very easy to install all in all....looks great and I am still hoping to get some good night pictures to show how bright it is, but here is a couple so far:



Everything is wired okay!


Tested it that night in pouring rain....no other lights on, just the scoop. That is just looking across the street we are on and into the woods..

 

Got a few more things in there, but no pix:
ktj4x4 autom rear windshield close module

Matt Geko bed lights are sitting in the basement along with the MESO blackout vent rings, Desmoverland HL connect molle panel and Meso hand relocation kit too.....

 

oh boy....
@El-tigre' molle panel for the center console installed now...

DESMO Overland's last ceiling panel and Meso handle retention kite installed too!

 

Matt Gecko bed light installed....pretty easy, hardest part was crawling around underneath....

 

Chrome delete on the dash vents and a fancy carbon SE Asia region shift knob too.

AVS ventvisors as well....
