The Xtrusion Overlnd rack is the newest so probably my favorite right now as I build it out. Overall I'm happy with everything on the truck.

I REALLY want the Rivian prototype sliders that have been leaked... I plan to wait a while longer. Looking for full coverage of the door sills.

Do you have any additional details on the install of the Midland MXT575? Curious where you connected power and how you are mounting the antenna. I have seen a few comments about routing both through gear tunnel and a grommet to the bed, but I have not looked for those yet. Thanks.

I have it powered via the 12v outlet in the gear tunnel. It wasn’t ready to drill holes and tap fuses just yet. I temporarily have the antenna on a suction cup mount on the inside of the rear window (less than ideal). Now that I have the bed rack I plan to use a bed grommet to run the antenna cable through and mount on the rack. I have the bracket installed, just need to run the cable.

I have a cat cable run to underside of drivers seat with a RJ45 socket. I plug mic in when needed. Store mic in seat cubby otherwise.

Nice list! Even if I don't ever plan on doing a fraction of these myself, it makes a good "wish list" for goals, LOL. 😆

Only suggestion would be, if you do individual write-ups to each mod, maybe include a link to each one? For example, I'm pretty sure I've seen your "Added Frunk 12V Socket" somewhere else on the forums. Maybe include links to the relevent build docs after each bullet point? Or do you not want to give away all your secrets? 😄

I ordered the twraps fog light tint. How do you find it? Worthwhile or? Debating on if I should put them on or not, coworkers are trying to stop me from doing it.

Haha no secrets here. Goal is to share the knowledge. I’ll work on linking everything. I’ve started on a few already.

I’m a fan of the yellow fogs. It’s a cheap enough, easy enough install that you can always change your mind later on.

Did some digging around today trying to find a way to get my GMRS antenna cable from the cab to the truck bed, in order to mount my antenna to my bed rack.

I took the rear seats out to find the various grommets. I also took the back bed panel out (for nothing), only to have a "hmmm I wonder..." moment and stuck a cable into this little hole here at the window between the plastic panels. Sure enough, cable pops right out at the grommet on the other side. My last antenna cable was cut too short so I had to order another one and I'll complete the install.

Hope this helps someone!

(Side note: There are various grommets back there, but if someone Is looking for a passthrough to the actual bed itself, there are some grommets behind the rear bed panel that go into the gear tunnel. I need pass-through above the tonneau cover so that wasn't an option for me.)

EDIT: Result pics added. Still can't believe it was that simple.

Hole:

Just on the other side, grommet removed, behind driver side rear seats:
