Is there a good thread you can point at for the full recline?
My thread if photo bucket didn't delete pics :-/
Can search google. Can't remember where exactly I found it. I can look later, at work now.

Carefully remove the gold ring that rules them all

Remove the factory trim piece. Use Dremel to carefully cut the ring without cutting into the threaded rod. Reinstall plastic trim. Done!

Will the full recline mod work on manual seats only or power seats as well? I'm one of those guys who gets to work an hour early to enjoy my coffee/music but hate that I can't recline all the way back

Not sure. But these trucks have been modded to death so I'm sure someone figured out a way.

I ran a piece of #10 solid up the A pillar and am the way to the back of the rear door under the weatherstripping. You'd never know it's there, it's stiff enough that it won't move, and I've maintained even my AM reception.
Was gonna do that but the stations here are just straight garbage. Ipod and pandora only for me

Is that how the factory did it, laying down the antenna? I don't see how you'd have good radio reception with that???? I guess the antenna being there, and deleting it seems like tilting at windmills to a guy like me.....much ado about nothing.
Cleaner look , for me i have an aftermarket stereo with aux inputs. Between downloaded music , YouTube, pandora , and podcasts.... local radio is useless. The windmill is outdated lol
:Rock on:

To each their own. No problem with what you choose to listen to, but I'll say this as perhaps a little older and wiser....... when the defecation hits the oscillation, radio will be what you want to be in the know, and all the force fed, censored 'net based poo will be non existent.

You may have missed the point I made with the windmill comment, search and learn.....
