Default Usefull mod

Ok I'm kinda tired of seeing the mods like "6 inch lift" "new CAI" and stuff like that, let's see what you have done with things like making your fog lights work with auto on, expedition consoles, something that's kinda home made not from auto zone or 4 wheel parts. Like on some other post I saw where a guy on a 2011 made the coin holder into a aux/USB thingy, I wanta see those kind of mods!!!!!

I know my truck is older but I feel like this kind of thing is what you're talking about

Front receiver I built for my winch. And this is a step I built to go into any receiver for a step and a good base to jack the truck from.

The expo console swap is quite easy unless you dont have all the parts... like i did. I didnt get the two floor brackets. I didnt know i needed them untill i went to install and had everything tore apart. I found a set in a 98 Navi in the junkyard 15 mins before they closed, in the pooring rain.. and all the bolts were seized. Nothing a breaker bar and 240lbs of muscle cant fix.. but talk about being under pressure lol

The 97-98s had a different style center console then the 99-03 to accommodate for the seat armrests. Ive seen this swap done on bench seat trucks by cutting the seat in half, but its literally a bolt on mod if you truck already has buckets. The bolt holes are in the same location as the expo/navis, except for the front bracket the holes are under the carpet so you have to cut about 3" foward out of the carpet.
