That's what I got. It was $40 on Amazon

Oh just a regular tailgate lock. Mine already has it from the factory. The kit I linked marries it to the factory key fob functions.

Ya. Mine didn't come with a lock

Keep debating on if I should replace my battery with a agm battery.

Right now the economy bimart one works, but not sure if I should upgrade given the sound system, cb, eventual led lights, etc.

Convert it to run on two regular batteries.

Thought about that too.

Upgrade the alternator too

I will look all that tonight perhaps. See what would be involved and how much

Looking better

Weird clicking today when I let off the accelerator at low speeds, under 20 mph, need to look into that. Going to have the wife drive by me this weekend and see if I hear it.

Looks good.

Very simple on those too. Just need a longer belt to go with the bigger alternator.

Looked into it.

Just going with agm battery for now.

Then I'll get a larger alternator down the line.

First thing I need to do is figure out this new noise.

I have a circuit I put in mine so when you turn on your brights you get your low beams and fog lights as well. Was super simple instal.

On the alternator I’ve read you can just buy the higher amp model. I want to do the duel battery set up on mine and then put in one of those switches that once your main is charged it charges the other. Just for when the alternator does shit itself I can swap over batteries and still get where I need to go.

Battery isnt going to do much if you are worried about consumption with extra accessories.

Worried about the fact that it was a corroded and leaking bimart battery. Lol

After I figure out the weird noise my next step is to upgrade the alternator
