Hard wired in my radar detector while i was bored the other day.
Step 1 - Started with running a wire from the passenger's side fuse panel up to the rear view mirror.
Step 2 - Added male/female connectors to the radar detectors harness.
Step 3 - Mounted the radar detector to the windshield and drilled the hole for the wire.
Step 4 - Grounded the negative wire and added a fuse tap.
Step 5 - Added a rocker switch and stealth mounted it in the sun glasses holder as a main power shutoff

Built a bed divider.
Step 1: Cut the 2x10 to length
Step 2: Bevel the ends of the 2x10 to fit easily but snug into the channels
Step 3: Bed liner the 2x10 for a factory look
Step 4: Added D Ring Anchors to tie down supplies (5 Front, 3 back)
Step 5: Reinstall

Tonneau cover off of my old 2011 F150 Ecoboost.
Review
Pros:
Water Proof
Rolls Up Small
Cheap
Easy Install
Low Profile
Doesn't Freeze Shut (my trifold backflip cover was useless all winter)
Cons:
Not As Secure As Trifold Covers

Got tired of trying to use the terrible factory Ford Box link hooks being cheaply made and flying off the mounts.
So I removed the factory Box Link hooks and install 2 D Ring anchors on the Box Link plates.
Result is more tie down points that work better than factory and aren't as bulky.
Black electrical tape is added to the hooks to stop them from flopping around and making noise.

Pissed me off and ruined some stuff, so I fixed the terrible bulky and week ford system.
