Under seat storage box for the rear seats - Check
LED lighting for the box, puddle lamps, ambient lighting, under hood lighting - Check
DeeZee Tailgate Assist - Check
Careful shopping got me a factory bed extender for $40
Same for Bed Side steps for $100 (That's $50 per side so must qualify right?)

There have been some creative backup camera suggestions as well, that's next on my list.

Many appearance items using plastidip, aftermarket badges, badge removal etc.

Thanks contributors!
awesome I did the same thing lol found a pair of box side steps off my local kijiji for $100.00, ended up selling them tonight a week later for $200.00. I also scored a white 5.5 ft fiberglass tonneau cover and a factory Tri fold tonneau cover for $40,00 off a 2009 Platinum. Sold the fiberglass tonneau cover to a neighbour for $100.00. Scored a tonneau cover for free or -$60,00 lol

It's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission

Haha! There's no need to ask Bro, you're simply planting "seeds of forgiveness" for when needed later. Seed planting advice x3, that works for me, given to me from an older female coworker years ago...
1. Once in a while, Rent a movie she really likes, even if you don't, and watch it with her (but don't hack it - let her enjoy herself without you making her feel guilty - No matter how bad. Brownie point deposit #1.
2. If you spend $$ on yourself, you need to spend on her too. And dudes, I know, weird, but she doesn't always want a dinner with us. I bought a motorcycle years ago, she got new hardwood floors. I bought led bed lights and a stubby antennae, I gave her a Starbucks card and bottle Baileys. Brownie point deposit's #2&3, and growing...
3. Remember and (sometimes use it, not always, cause you ain't whipped here lol) use this phrase when she digs her heels in, the hard part? Do it even if she's wrong... "You're right, I'm wrong, I'm sorry." Watch her downward mood swing turn right around!

(21years of "marital bliss" maintaining - and growing - good luck my brothers!)
