Painted rust underneath and wheel wells
Husky liners tomorrow.
PMd spare tire.
Rigged broken spare tire lock so it doesn’t fall out.
Stuffed subwoofer with old couch filling.
Anti seize on rims so they don’t seize to the hub again.
Drilled driver side rear seat release pin, added snap ring and 550 cord. Tied to headrest post so I can easily access behind the rear seat.

Thanks rsylvstr. Here is an updated one from the same site that gives a little more detail about how much of the side of the car you should see and where you should see it.

Going to give this a try.

It works for sure.

That’s the blog I was looking for but I couldn’t find it.

Sucks if you have no rear view mirror though. My work van does not.

Can you elaborate? I have a topper on mine and the rear view mirror is pretty much useless if I am any place dark (e.g. parking garage, getting dark outside, etc.). Maybe I shouldn't do this?

The first mirror adjustment and subsequent adjustments rely on what can be seen in the rear view mirror. Try it and see how you like it.

That thing hanging from the ceiling? Most of the time I forget it's even there unless I'm being tailgated.
