Default Custom or Future projects?

Allot of people have some great ideas on mods, add-ons or custom and future projects that they want to get done on their trucks. Maybe someone wants to share with everyone else?

Here is going to be mine Ive been meaning to get done since last year. I was in the process of building a window wiper for the back of my truck cap like you would see on a SUV. Got an assembly from a 98 Explorer and a washer fluid reservoir to be mounted over on the side of the cap so when i remove the cap in the summer it can come off as one unit and simply unhook a connector. Just need to run a switch to the dash for the reservoir motor and I have a two speed switch with a relay for the wiper arm.

Be awesome in the winter to clean off the grime and in the heavy rain and slush around here

But like I said its in the blueprint stages for now don't know when ill get to actually building it.

Anyone else got a crazy custom project they want to share?

I have new ideas every time i look at the truck.. lol

My current plans would include 4in lift, 33 or 35's, headache rack, custom bumpers, grille/headlights, custom paint scheme.. Would like to throw a plow on it, seeing as it is my toy hauler mainly in winter.. But lately id like to convert the bench seat to two buckets and a center console...

I need to replace the door pins on the rear doors. And probably the fronts while I'm doing it. But my 3 month old is taking up all my time. I haven't even gotten to replacing the vacuum tubing!
