You guys and your fancy handles... I put one of these pull tabs on each side of the tray, with the tab part obviously above and grab-able. It's held for 1.5+ years like this, with the tray being removed 2-4x per week. Amazon product ASIN B0751RPD3V Bonus is that you can use the wall hooks...

So fancy @NDizzle! Wife also thinks I'm silly spending effort on this.
I added the Dobinsons adjustable panhard and it got me centered again. About 1/4” longer than stock does it.
i had one tpms died on me abt 10 months ago and i just wasnt replacing that and living with orange triangle. finally bought 5 tpms from amazon denso brand for cheap and took it to shop and had them replace all 5 sensors and balance tires couple of days ago. Yesterday took time to change rear differential oil, it wasnt as bad as i was expecting. it was dark yellow color and viscoisty was still like new, the magnet barely had any sludge on it. @208k miles now.
Got rid of a big chunk of chrome on the tailgate.
LOL.....
You read my mind Dude......I just removed that piece myself and it was a B to get it out.....PLEASE post pics after you are done.....I also remove the sombero emblem on top and Blacked it out.....
Did I misread it? That is the finished product with your pic? Graphite Metallic is light but looks good
In the vain name of “stance” I installed 1.25” spacers all around. It looks so much better and may convince me to go with the “big fat” 305/65s next tire change

The kid's thinking, "Yeah, looks about right."
OE were halogen right? I am contemplating upgrading to LEDs, but read that it scatters a lot and blinds the oncoming traffic.
someone recommended Osram Unlimited night breaker halogen instead of LEDs.
what’s your experience so far?
I don't know what year yours is but generally putting LED's in "reflector" housings will scatter the light, blind oncoming traffic and give you less or equal actual light on the road. If your putting them in a "projector" housing you should see a big improvement assuming you adjust them accordingly or you will also blind oncoming traffic. I installed the Night Breakers in my wife's 4Runner high beams and saw little if any difference. They (Night Breakers) also don't last nearly as long as the stock halogen bulb.
Get the Hikari LEDs. There's a big lighting thread on this forum somewhere.
I believe its a matter of personal preference with LED’s over stock Halogen. Why? Because when ppl say it scatters, they mean it’s brighter than the normal ray of stock light in front of you. They are not used to the brightness LED’s give out...
I have LED’s on my rides (M3, GS350 F Sport, Cayenne GTS, Trail 4Runner, SC430, LC200)
Love it n again my preference
No. When "ppl" say it scatters it means that the light is not focused on the road. Installing HID or LED lights in reflector housings not designed for them blinds oncoming traffic and is illegal.
I added a pickup tailgate LED brake/turn signal light bar on the roof rack for added visibility.
Upgraded my tires to Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT in 285/65/18

I had it as "We really need sliders...."
Perhaps it is brighter and again a personal preference. It does not blind oncoming drivers as I have seen brand new trucks with bright lights as described. Stick with what y'all are comfortable with.
