This thread got me into some trouble... it will be a busy December for sure.

Did:
USB2
Weathertechs

Doing tomorrow:
Truxedo Truxport tonneau cover

Should have Monday -
Sync Lockpick

Bought tonight after reading this thread and about 20 associated threads and YouTube videos -

Lighting -
Harley Davidson puddle lights
LED bulb replacements (interior and license plate)
LED strip hood lights on bearing switch
LED strip console lights on bearing switch
LED strip glove box light - either on all the time with key on if I can't see it or bearing switch on glove box door

Tailgate -
Bed and step lights on bearing switch w/ rocker switch override
dee zee tailgate rod w/ nut mod
TR-7 with relay hooked to lock/unlock mod
trunk release hooked to tailgate handle

Sound -
polyfill for subwoofer

And then a trip to Home Depot to get a 66" 2x10 for my wife to beat me with.

And after a little more research, probably a tune from 5 star. Not for this thread though, unless there is an incredible sale I'm not aware of.

Do you have the SONY sound system with the subwoofer under the back seat

I didn't know that some LEDs glow all of the time. I looked early this morning and mine have a slight glow to them, but I never noticed it before and I can't see it unless I fold my body like a contortionist and stare directly at the bulb. With the cover in the rear, you can't even see it.

Yes, and my complaint before I even bought a truck was the stereo. Maybe the $5 polyfill give it what I'm looking for.

How many of each bulb are needed (in each location) to completely replace all the incandescent bulbs? I haven't popped off the covers to count how many are in there yet (hoping to only pop them off once).

I'm guessing it's 2 front interior (or do you replace the map lights and sun visor mirror bulbs too?), 2 license plate, 2 rear interior, and 2 backup bulbs?

My super crew has three in the back seat light, you are correct on everything else. I don't have bulbs on my visor mirrors, so I can't tell you about that.

Are you referring to the Philips X-treme bright led reverse lights that you bought?

I reread your old post,I thought you were looking to get the W/T floormats,
I now see you already have them.
I have a set i'm selling,but it has the sony speaker cut out. Oh well
On another note.....
Hell, everyone has old pillows laying around,just pull the poly out of that.
The lockpick is the one thing I havent done yet,when I do it I will be putting in a forward camera. WHY? Just because
