Them Be Me Mods

I couldn't find the dual monitor on eBay, but I found a single listed for $42. Is this close to what you paid for your dual? Amazon.com: Dual Battery Voltmeter Monitor: Automotive - $63

Think is was like $35 or so but that is the one. I did buy it last year though.

Jeez, someones been busy! I love that off road trailer, fits perfectly with the truck!

Way to get creative with that shower install too, I definitely know the "out of engine real estate" feeling, but I've been waiting for someone to stick something inside the fenders.

Rented a stock SR5 to do the driving courses at Overland Expo 2013 in Flagstaff AZ. Also visited the well named Grand Canyon and down to Sedona, coming back north along the canyon on Schnebly Hill Road.

Technically not me modded truck but I wanted to post these to show how even a stock SR5 with stock tires and zero mods is extremely capable.

Great pictures/videos! I'll be in the Grand Canyon/Sedona area in mid September for a week, though not sure what my rental will be just yet.

As anybody with a dog can testify, getting the hair out of the back carpeting is a real PIA. Having a yellow lab and black interior does not help. I just installed a set of Canvasback Canvas Custom Cargo Liners. Price was $ 159 and so far so good. The Velcro is very strong but time will tell how well it holds up.

She seems to approve!

How are you liking the velcro set up? I have two dogs and every time they go back there they leave a full blanket of fur... Where did you get them?

Its as good to go as day one. The Velcro is very strong.

Your truck is in between "stock" and "extremely modded". Very tasteful mods, truck looks great!

 

[WarnerD9]

Just ordered some... Thanks for pointing those out.

It actually looks like it "belongs"....which is hard to achieve sometimes.

How about some of that non skid mat they sell at Sears to line tool box trays?

 

[Dadz4R]

I have to say this is one very nicely done 4R! You have inspired me to not only sign up to the site but to build mine as well. All my parts are on order and expected to be installed next weekend. Thanks for all the information you have provided in your build up.

Thanks Pat....and everybody else! Keeping it looking understated and as stock as possible has been a real challenge. There be tons of mods in there with most not visible.

I'm going with 6" wide 80 grit outdoor anti skid tape since it would fit the bottom channels perfectly. If it was flat then I would have gone with something like the tool box liner.

What about stick on rubber tread tape so you don't scratch whatever is going in the box in case it slides around while driving?

I firmly believe the most offroad capable vehicle in existense is always a rental...

 

[phillyd2]

This is what I'm putting in although I did not even think about scratches. Its going to be mostly camping stuff like tents, sleeping bags, fishing gear, etc. so it should be ok.

I just test packed stuff and there really is a lot of room up there.

Well you know what they say the difference is between a jeep and a rental...

...the rental has been offroad.
