Awesome, useful thread!!
Don't forget the "under e-brake storage" mod. There are a few different ones on here. But here's mine using the left over piece of rear floor liner.

Here's my $1.50 shovel/jack mounting job. Just weld two 5 inch long x 3/4 inch bolts to your tow hooks. Use flat rubber between hooks & jack & radiator hose under shovel blade to keep things tight & rattle free. And $1.00 stubby stock bumper mod. Did the rear too.
Rear stubby mod
