I started the mods on my new 2017 Ruby Red Supercrew!

[Shark]

I brought this beauty home last Wednesday. I figured it had been stock long enough - time to start modding it!



First thing that UAW sticker had to go. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for American workers but I'm pretty OCD and I don't like unnecessary stickers on my windshield. So a minute with the paint scraper and a few more with the Goo Gone and some paper towels and that sticker is history. Whew, time for a beer and to admire my work.



Next up, I can't stand how the coin tray slides from side to side, responding with a bang and the sound of jangling coins every time I take a corner at speed in my sweet new ride. Time to fabricate a solution. Eureka, mini binder clip installed! (My 2011 had rubber strips installed in the grooves of the coin tray so it didn't slide around as much. Did they just forget to install these in the 2017, anyone else have this issue?)




Time to start laying down some cash for my next mod - the Stubby!




Well I figure that was enough work for now, time for more beer. They are only going to be getting much more expensive from here on out. Case in point, I have a BakFlip MX4 that should be here before the weekend. Hope you guys enjoy this post as much as I did making it.

That's awesome but it's also the first time I ever heard a guy brag about his "stubby"

The attention to detail on these mods is mind blowing... you sir are a role model we wish and want to be.

Thank you for the coin tray mod! I hate how mine slides around so much.

What has this world come to when removing a sticker, adding a binder clip and new antenna is considered a "mod"?

Congrats on the new truck!

It’s a brave new world TH, everybody’s a winner and all.

still, you have to admire the cost effectiveness of this ‘mod’.

Can we get better pictures of the binder clip? Maybe one open, and one closed? Maybe it would be better to run dual binder clips?

If you're a street queen then yeah. Real offroaders get by with one.
