Anyone ever come up with some neat ideas or mods for your trucks?

I recently came up with the idea of making my tail gate open with the touch of a button. I would use the Ezdown tail gate shock and a door lock actuator to safety automate it, using my viper alarm remote.

I did some research and found out that someone came up with the idea on the Tundra forum. So I am most positive that I can get it working on my ram.

My future plans on my truck is to get a bed cover, so this would be like popping the trunk on a car.

Like to do something like Low1 did a years ago with relocating his gas cap/filler next etc to the rear drivers taillight section. Had a motorized actuator so the tail light pulls forward revealing the gas cap. Pretty darn sweet.

Sweet ^^^ Is that a fuel cell in the back, and is it replacing the stock fuel tank?

Yes it is. I had some other neat mods on that truck, but I will let some others post their creative mods first.

there was a guy over on dt that was doing something like that with the tailgate. but he was also having some fog lights that motorized out from under the truck for extra light in the back.

Always thought it'd be a sick idea to have like a plexiglass floorboard for rock crawling so you could look down and see what you're up against
