[Jeepdude413]

I installed my roof rack, wired in the spotlight, grab handles in the front and rear. I finished the cb install, next week is more graphics and some cammo

I noticed a box in the bed for storage... is it metal or plastic and what brand?

I used a thru glass mount on the upper right hand corner of the rear window. The cb is a model that all the controls are in a hand held unit. The antenna and hand interface is installed under the glove box with power pulled from the battery lead from the 4 aux switch drop. To help with the mick length i used a 10 inch cord Mike extension. I hope this helps.

The box is metal box from tractor supply, I have recovery gear, tools and etc, held in place with a tie down strap. A temp solution because I am looking at the deck bed solution.

Just a couple of small things today... Had the bed Rhino Lined 3 weeks ago so i figured i would add my first “GNOTS” mod. (Gladiator, not off the shelf) and yes you can use it. Its just a board to hold small cargo items from moving around. Don’t judge the cuts in the bottom ‘ cause I am not a carpenter, plus, its just a board. No plywood available, sorry. Also, the new bumper will be here on Wednesday so i readied the front awaiting its arrival. Still waiting on tires and wheels. Level kit sitting on work bench waiting on me. LOL.

NOTICED you said RHINO Lined (not Line X). Back in the day - 2003, when I was debating lining my 2003 Dodge 1500 I considered RHINO over the X because they "touted" that their lining was "softer/had a tactile feel to it" (my words not theirs) . I ultimately went with the BedRug . How IS the Finish on yours ?

Added a little room to the cabin, LOL

Finish is textured obviously. Rhino is a little thinner than line x but imo , they both hold up well.

That thing is ugly

Installed my roll up tonneau cover. It’s made for a Colorado/canyon, and it isn’t a perfect fit, but it’s a fraction of the cost of a Mopar one and it does the trick for sure!

holy crap only $189? does it have bars that go accross to give it support or is it all canvas? does it velcrow on?

 

[JT614]

let us know about the plastic dip when you do it!

So, my first attempt with Plasti Dip wasa FAIL! The spray itself was okay, but I masked off the areas that I didn't need to spray and I couldn't remove the mask without removing the sprayed on part that I needed to stay. Therefore I painstakenly had to remove all of the Plasti dip. I just ordered more and plan to spray the entire grill inserts and not just the inserts that will show through. Enough spray to make a solid coat so I can peel it right off when I need to. Many lessons learned.

NO . . . you turned it into a CABANA !

I was under the impression you can order any thickness (up to a certain max) ? But I was interested in knowing IF the texture is more "Hard Rubber" in feel ? They used to offer both "styles - the super hard, like the Line X and the other I'm describing !

It’s got one bar in the middle that gives it support. It Velcros up the sides, and latches at the tailgate end. I even got free one day shipping!

Dang! Since that was for a Colorado, did you have to modify how its mounted, i'm assuming so.
