Notable or measurable difference ?

My SCab has noise from the rear vents.
It is noticeably quieter, its hard to quantify though. Biggest things I notice is how much more solid the doors feel, the better music sound quality is, and that my music is a lot quieter when standing outside of the truck. I can really crank the tunes and you can barely hear it over the engine idling when standing outside.

There is a lot of noise from the cab vents in mine too. I drove around without the back seat for a few days and its unbelievable how much noise comes from those vents.

My previous cars were a 2013 Subaru WRX Hatchback & 2016 Subaru WRX STI. Getting the truck I thought I would have something I wouldn’t be throwing money at. I’ve always been a car guy, so the truck would be a nice change.

Yet here I am registered to another forum and look at countless aftermarket stuff. Already have Diode Dynamics Pro fog lights and KB Voodoo 58” x 10” rack installed/mounted. The CVT Mt. Shasta should be getting delivered tomorrow.

This is only the beginning.

Hello, my name is Joel and it’s been 4 days since my last purchase.

Wimpy or not, so many trucks have them people are starting to expect it and drop the tailgate.
That's like expecting CA drivers to use their blinkers when they turn:angel:

I haven't spent crazy... bug shield so far... will get the tailgate damper... weathertech floors.....

Last big expense will be a hard tonneau cover of some type.
Not sure if you saw this before (I can't keep track anymore ?) but you can get one here and use code WELCOME at checkout for free shipping.

I put 1k but realized after that 1k won't cover it all.
- Dashcam
- Floor mats
To be ordered:
- Brake controller (forgot to wheel & deal at dealer, was already a good price)
Bunch of other stuff that goes with towing.
- Spray-in bed liner, see brake controller
- Soft tonneau cover
- A FREAKING TRAILER :LOL: (but is this really for the truck?)
- Buying extra loto tickets to hopefully cover above mentioned items.
