Since you asked—this is where all the “glitter” comes from…

I did a similar thing for my Crew Cab. Plywood base that rests on the floor, covered with a high density foam pad and felt automotive carpeting. Built it the same height as the backseat so my pup can sprawl out in the backseat. Only extended it past the center console to make entry and exit a...

Installed the Hellwig 7709 Rear Sway Bar. Took about 30 minutes--mainly because I couldn't find my 8mm socket to remove the end-link bolts. So out came the 8mm box wrench and an adjustable crescent--what a PITA (but all my own fault). I set it on the middle setting, to give it a trial run this...

i would unbox it and try a dry fit to see how well it fits. i moved my 4th gen (2016) full bed rug to my 5th gen (2021) and it fits just fine. had to do some minor modifications but it fits great: 1. cut slits for tie down hooks 2. cutout for two factory bed lights 3. cut slits (3 or 4 on each...

same situation here wanting to go from chrome to black. i think i'll try Plastidip here first before i drop $100 on plastic emblems. most people rough-tape them off, paint them with Plastidip right on the truck and peel off the excess. just need to wait for it to warm up here a bit in PA before...

You guys suck...just ordered mine today. Will report back after install and test drive.

just ordered the Hellwig 7709. will install in a few days...

I finally installed the Pop & Lock PL9772 Keyless remote entry kit for my Ranch Icon Cap. Super easy to install--really only took about 30 min since I had already run wiring and tapped into the Lock/Unlock wires in the B pillar. I love being able to lock/unlock the cap without fiddling with a...

yes. you can run a ground wire anywhere from the frame. either use a self tapping screw and drill directly into the frame or find another bolt nearby. i used one of the bolts that secures the spare tire shield near the rear of the truck as a matter of convenience, since i was already running a...

Finally wired the 12v dome light--just tapped into the wire supplying the factory installed bed lights at the driver tail light assembly. Just traced it back from the LED--really easy to get to since it's enclosed in a split cable loom. Functions along with the factory bed lights--Exactly what I...

this should be a sticky. thanks for the info, securityguy.

4x4 with every truck i've bought. my truck is my peace of mind for when i NEED to get to work, even if the weather is uncooperative.

looking to add a blackvue dr750x-2ch dash cam for general protection from idiots (both driving and parked). anyone know if i can place the rearview camera inside the cab (probably on the rear window out of the way of the slider) even with a Leer cap on the back? or would i be better off running...
