LOVE the console vault !!
I went with the Hornady vaults.....His and Hers under the rear seat and bolted to the body, and cabled to the child seat tethers

Plasti dipped my Factor 55 rope guard. These things really should be offered in colors. At least black.

Looking to do this same type of thing...Did you use factory bolt locations and purchase longer bolts?

Yes I did exactly that.......I got bolts that were approximately 3/4" longer, but I used a 1/8" washer I forget what size the bolts are, but they are metric.
Just bear in mind......If you plan on installing a safe on the passenger side as well, there's only going to be 1 bolt that fastens it....where as the drivers side has 2 bolts into the body as shown.
also, I need to re-notch the drivers side for the cable lock.....the notch that is already on the safe is too close to the edge of the under-seat storage box to allow it to be used, but a simple grinder notch will fix that !

Installed the Rancho 1.5” leveling springs with the RS9000XL shocks. Kit cane with 2” and 3” bump stop extensions and longer swaybar links. The progressive springs are nice but a bear to install.

I got the shocks dialed in at 4. I thought the shock adjustment may have been a gimmick but you can actually tell a difference between settings. Ride is great! It took out the nose dive and body roll I felt after installing an aftermarket bumper.

The before measurements were 35.5” from ground to front fenders and 37.25” on rear. After install the front measures 37.5” and rear didn’t change. I’ll see if the springs settle but I’ll probably add the 3/4” spacers to the rear. I don’t mind a little rake. I definitely don’t want the rear to be lower even by 1/4”

Put a vinyl wrap on the tailgate and around the tail lights and then took it out naked!

@kolbjo JT is looking great!
Did you have issues wrapping the reverse camera at all? I'm looking to do a vinyl wrap on my tailgate but wasn't sure how to handle the reverse camera as it's not flush with the rest of the tailgate.

New to the forum! JT only a few weeks old.

285/75R18 Duratracs on the factory Overland rims
Barricade skid plate to get rid of massive factory plastic skid plate.
Converted all lights to factory LEDs and Morimoto turn signals

Loving this truck!

Thanks! When I did the wrap I removed the taillights and backup camera. Both are very easy to remove. I think there were three screws that attach the camera to the surround that holds it, so you can wrap it without damaging the camera lense too. Here's a link to a YouTube video that shows the process to removed the camera from the tailgate.
