Glad I saw this. I already had the tailgate lock, but the deterrent for tail lights I didnt realize was a thing and I am installing my morimotos soon so I will now wait until my Latchlid plates come in. Thanks for posting!
 
Also, sweet truck/build going dude!

of course, the Latchlid comes with the anti-theft screws for the morimotos so it takes care of the latch and lights at the same time. Glad it helped you out!

Got around to installing the 3rd brake light, it was a little more involved than simple plug and play but not difficult. I also hit the two mounting screws with semi-gloss spray paint so the silver didn't stand out against the black housing. I love the look, sorry the lighting/reflection isn't the best for the pics.

I purchased the same panels and found these are great for organization of small odds and ends. Sometimes it's the little things that make you smile!
So true, it is nice knowing where they are! BTW, thank you for all your help with the Forscan mods, your knowledge and posts are invaluable!

No problem! It wasn't that long ago I was new to the Forscan world. I dove in headfirst and am just trying to share what I've learned to help others get past the learning curve!

Thank you again! It is very much appreciated!
 
Where did you get the color matched oval on the steering wheel?
Sure thing, here are the links to the overlay emblems.

I posted this on another thread but decided I should add it to the build thread with the 3rd brake light pics. I just removed the harness clip and slightly pulled back on the headliner to drop the oem connector down to where it was accessible inside the cab of the truck. From this point, just put the brake light connector through the brake light hole (outside the truck) and drop it down below the headliner (inside the cab). Connect the two plugs and then tuck the connection back up under the headliner. I used a zip tie to secure the harness bundle to the frame so it doesn't rattle and then install the brake light. If you are careful and just pull it back enough to fit both connectors, you should not crease the headliner.
 
Made a few mods after our recent meetup in Waco. Thanks @Lunch Box, @legmar, and @modified for the ideas!
Added custom upfitter switch labels, added black lug nuts/painted hubs, added Diode Dynamics ditch lights, and added the new Tackform dash mount.

Looks great! My wife and I went with another couple to the peach farm in your area yesterday. Was a nice spot, but way too hot to do anything more than get the peach pulled pork sandwich and some ice cream.
