I think it's worth it if you need access back there. I personally don't but it looks like a good product for those not as handy to make something that works.

I spent $2.99 on a hose clamp yesterday to fix a broken (rusted) exhaust strap holding a heat shield on the stock Y-pipe. The heat shield is welded on one side and held on by a metal strap on the other. It broke about 6 months ago but I was too lazy to crawl under the truck until yesterday when it was nice and I had some time. The rattling was getting on my nerves too.

$30 worth the Rustoleum Peel Coat Graphite Matte. Sprayed by stock rims, gave the truck a new look.

I've been looking for a good way to mount my phone with a wireless charger...
How did you mount it to your dash?
Thanks.

I posted before somewhere.

The Tylt Vu uses a 16mm ball mount, same as most garmin gps mounts. The Tylt has a locking nut on the ball mount so you can tighten it and it won't move. I have a 3d printer so I printed one with a large base and used 3m 10lb double stick tape. You can buy the same type of mount on
Amazon Amazon
. Yesterday, I wired a cig power plug to the pass side fuse box (#41 for switched power).

Default Free behind seat storage

Save your money. I saw a few posts where people are spending upwards of $65 on a device to gain access behind the rear seats. Here's a video and won't cost you a thing and install takes less than five minutes. Also, I installed a different set up on each side, but if I'm being honest, the 550 cord version works better in my opinion.

Looks great! Clean them with Turtle Wax Ice spray wax, just spray on and wipe off. Thank me later.

Here is my Rustoleum Peelcoat graphite wheels treated with the Turtle Wax Ice spray wax:
