    I custom built an aluminum rack that goes over my Softtopper. Weighs in at 26lbs, supports 600lbs. Allowed me a place to add a third tail light and ARB 2000 awning. Has Yakima tracks running along the top for various things to be attached.

    Configures so that I can throw my kayaks, SUPS, RTT, solar panels, or even a Christmas tree up there.

    Best addition and most used item I've installed to this truck for sure. It really opened up the usefulness of the truck.

    Your profile says "stock". How do you like your supercharger?

    Ugh. Seat jackers. The one thing for comfort in a daily setting. I like everything else I’ve done. But after driving New Mexico to Cali, and feeling like I’m still in a car, not being able to see the end of the hood, while my calves fall asleep…. Seat jackers

    Gasshole is the one Meso part I don’t like. Have to jam my cap in so hard I’m worried about bending the door hinges, and it still just falls right out

    Agreed. I got mine and made one trip to the gas station. Came off as soon as I got home. The hole is too small. I got this instead from a TW member and it works great:

    The lift kit I just installed myself (TRD OEM lift kit with 2" Torch AAL's). Makes getting into and out of the truck much easier.

    Camper shell, it's made sleeping in the truck so much better, especially having the long bed and a mattress.

    Let's hear about your speakers, please. Also, did you use dynamat? I get neurotic about noise, so it's as much about quality music as it is about that...

    100% my softtopper. Need the bed covered for the pups or long drives and regularly gotta use the truck as a truck so it nice being able to put it down and have full bed access.
