Dampening tailgate hinge successfully installed. Removing the tail light was one of the scariest things I've done in a while. Here's a clearer look at the stud if anyone was trying to visualize the mount point on the truck. Unhinged just the right side of the tailgate and rested it on a sawhorse and was able to get the hinge swapped easily. Shout out to all the red threadlock and paint that made these bolts so difficult to remove. Recommend spraying some brake cleaner up the bottom of the threads to help loosen it up.

My first three mods done.

- RetraxPro XR which I am very impressed with. (big thanks to @Realtruck for the service and the discounts!!)
- Stubby Antenna
- Mounted front license plate using the Mishimoto tow hook kit.

Accessories are going to bleed me dry, I suspect I have opened the floodgates o_O

Does that stubby antenna receive signal just as well as the oem antenna? Also, which stubby did you go with?

Thanks.

It becomes an addiction.

I've never wanted as many accessories as I do on this truck (partially because I got the Pro, and partially because I may actually be in love with my truck).

Not sure yet on the reception. I will test over the next couple of days and report. I rarely listen to radio if I'm honest, mostly Spotify.

I went for this one which a few others had recommended.

Number 4 today.

I put in a Husky frunk mat. First impressions not awesome if I'm honest. It's ok and it fits sort of well but it's definitely more slippery plastic material than the rubber I was hoping for. Also it came rolled up so it's going to take some flattening out.

Not sure if there are any alternatives so it will do for now. It will still protect for sure.

While checking to see if a 10"x10" hard plastic sheet piece run over on the freeway had caused any damage (made quite the noise), I noticed that this underside long plastic moulding (both sides behind running boards) was tapping annoyingly on the steel frame when lightly shaken. Added self-stick 2" long rubber 1/4" weatherseal at the spot where it was hitting which seems to work. What is function of this long plastic molding? Aerodynamics?

This is gorgeous! Wrapped I assume? Taillight tint? Details please!
Indeed! Stealth PPF wrap. Smoked tails. Painted light bar. In the shop getting level-lift, new tires, powder coating the rims, electric running boards… pics to come when I get her back.
