Installed some new stuff - pics!
Well...nothin' fancy, but I finally got around to installing some Xmas gifts on my truck Enjoy!
Sorry my truck is filthy... Michigan winters have no mercy.
Maglite mount... Most crew-cab guys seem to mount this on the pillar behind the driver seat, but I got a super-cab. I decided to put it on the inside of the half-door. I like it:
I also put on my new Bilstein 5100 shocks. These things are awesome! The truck rides firm and tight and feels very solid when turning too. I love 'em so far:
I got a black powdercoated locking fuel door. I think it looks good with my black/smoked theme I got goin' on:
And I got some Husky floor mats. I wanna get the center hump piece and the piece for the back seat too. Right now I just have the two front pieces. So far these things are awesome:

Well, it's a good looking truck. So you're happy with the mats? I had the sand carpet with mats and couldn't keep the carpet clean. I didn't try any decent rubber mat though like yours. I just went straight to full rubber floors. Funny seeing all the snow up there and I just mowed the grass today in shorts and a wife beater! My in laws are fixing to come down from Idaho for a week and can't believe we are pulling the camper down to the beach for 4 days so they can catch some sun! HAHA.

Yes I'm very happy with the mats. I like that they curve up on the sides a bit to catch all the crap. They also extend up under the pedals and under the seat so they cover quite a bit of carpet. Very pleased so far.

The install was pretty straight forward and the fit is good, but I had to tweak it a bit. There is a bracket that attaches to the truck on the right side with big screws. The fuel door frame bolts to that. I had to drill out the holes in the bracket to give me some slop so I could position the unit for a better fit. It wasn't too bad. The total install took me about 20 minutes start to finish. It works perfect.

Looks good Drey! Looks like the SC guys have another option for the maglite mount now. Particulalry since you gave it a try and can report back if any issues pop up.
As for the bulb life -- an LED bulb would do the trick for that. It would hold up alot better to rattling and such compared to a normal bulb.
Reps!

Firefighter 1406 - My truck is a 2004. Yeah I don't have to slam my half doors in fact I don't use my back seat very often.... people rarely sit back there. So those doors don't see much use. It works for me.... time will tell how it holds up.
1975StroppeBaja - Thanks! Yeah I'll update if any issues come up.
