If you haven't already, check out his DIY wiring kits their fantastic if you do end up wanting to restore those left two outlets.

Great upgrade. I have crews in my trucks everyday for landscaping. Huge thing with trucks is LACK of cup holders & storage. Trucks are super expensive investments, so its very annoying when you get a truck with 2-3 cup holders for 3-5 guys....No one ever fits in front middle seat.... So switching to console installs. And, love the movable cup holder on older model. Same goes for doors almost never have much usability -- if there are cup holders -- they are small as heck -- And, the pockets never really are wide enough or have caps to protect from getting dirt & other crap falling in. Just becomes a thing to clean.....The under storage in back seat is another great upgrade. Versatility & utility should be key with these trucks. Nice job. Enjoy brother.

I wonder what the vibration thing is all about? my 2015 is smooth as can be, I have some gripes about the truck but one of the things I am very impressed with is how smooth and comfortable of a ride it has I dont think I have ever had a vehicle so quiet and smooth as this! I added an exhaust to give it some sound, not anything crazy just enough that you know the dang thing is actually running and so it sounds a little more like what you expect a truck with a large engine should sound like rather than a sewing machine lol .I highly recommend the MBRP CAT back exhaust for this truck as well as the range brand "tuner" to delete the switching back and forth between 4 cylinder and 8 cylinder , I don't think that is a good thing to begin with and with an exhaust added you can hear it when it goes into 4 banger mode. not nessisaily a bad sound, sounds a little like the engine is doing some kind of engine braking or something , very minimal but you hear it, I could have lived with it and really bounced back and forth about ether it was worth deleting the feature but I think for the health of the engine its better to delete that ...there are a couple to choose from I bought the cheaper on that only deletes THAT feature ($200 or $250 cant recall) but wish I had bought the more expensive one that allows many more controls namely throttle response adjustments! I feel like this truck has a delayed throttle response and it is annoying. compared to my tundra it feels sluggish and laggy and it is because of how they have the throttle response set up! sorry for the long unasked for comments here, I just figure other people might be interested in these things since they were of interest to me.
