    Curious to see if anyone has done regular cab specific mods. For example most roof racks don't look right on a reg cab (IMO), any creative solutions? Rock Sliders? Useful storage? Love to see what you have!

    I can’t think of anything exclusive to single cabs that I’ve seen.

    A tool box in the bed is good for storage. Behind the seat you can stuff tool bags.

    It’s also possible to stuff a subwoofer under the seat, which helps conserve space.

    I think my favorite regular cab mod is never being able to find camper shells that actually fit the cab lol

    Yep.
    @Blais03 led the way on a modified Hooke Road rack for his RC. He has a great build thread :thumbsup:

    Unrelated except insofar as my truck is single cab but I am experimenting with a small air filter pod for transmission breathing instead of the conventional breather plug. I haven't seen any other standard cab first gen owners do this before.

    I’m thinking of welding a basket with 1/2” EMT but not sure how that’s gonna look or if it will weigh too much
