Cool! That very thing is on the list of things to do to mine,(when I get one). That and diamond plate the inner bedsides. I don't think I'll do the upper part of the door by the armrest though, I'd burn the heck outta my arm in the summer! How did you stick it on there, glue? I don't see any screws.
 
I used pop rivets and you thank it would burn in the summer but it has been hot as hell in NC this summer and it has not hurt me once. I was thanking about puting diamond on the sides of the bed to but did not have the money to do it so I made some out of wood and got them line-xed the mach the bed and you cant even tell they are made of would

I have a pic of them with out the line-x on them and will try to get a pic of the line-x

Hey James,
I noticed that you have the shoulder belts for the rear seat. Do you know if there is some kind of reinforcement in the cap for the seat belt mount? I only have lap belts but would rather have shoulder belts so I can use the better booster seats in the back. Thanks.

I dont know if there is any reinforcment up there I have never took them off to look, but I most likely will take them out to put in lap belts so I can thak yhe top off and still have seat belts back there.

sorry I could not help!

Hey BlueOx You can get diamond plate at places like lows and home depot, its not cheap there though. I have had the idea to use it to replace all the silver brushed plastic in my silveraddo trimed rig, except, I can't yet figure out how to cut out around all the guages and stuff on the dash, it would look so cool though.......I keep dreaming, one day I am going to try it though. It looks awsome Johnny Reb!!
