I've got mine tucked fairly low and it's gotten toasty on hot days so far this year in Phoenix, but never to the point that I've been worried. Then again it's in the cabin and has access to AC:
You know when you're having an argument and you think of the perfect response to something, but 3 days later? That's ADV showing up with a functional hardtop after the fact.
if you've got a drawer system in the back, maybe stuff it in there? even with the doors off the tailgate still locks, so if the drawer butts up to the swing gate, you've got a little bit of security.
I just used the modcrate floorboard, and built my own, saved probably a grand that way
depends on which ones, most do look cheap. I had mine made by a buddy with a waterjet and a powdercoat booth, so they're the right size and color to offset the blue of the truck
I think my biggest...
For a stark comparison, go compare it to the BMW plant in Dingolfing, Germany:

There's a reason our trucks have quality problems.
The whole instrument cluster is a trainwreck of ergonomics to me. It's like it was designed by five different people in five different rooms and they were only allowed one-way communication once a day.
The dual speedo, having the trans temp and oil temp gauges have the same temps but different...
They tried, by putting the speedo on the left side, just like it was to the left of the column in the 1st gen.
Except they then gave us a digital one right next to it, which pretty much means nobody ever looks at the analog one, myself included.
If anyone needs to know what these ill look like mocked up on your rig, let me know. i've got some skills with Photoshop

I remember checking with Goodridge a couple years ago about ss lines for the bronco, and they said they were going to try to get something to market, I should check back in with them
Man, if you think 3k is steep, have you ever priced out an Akrapovic?
3k is still a bit high, but it's a lower take rate vehicle, so something something supply and demand. I will say that I had a Borla Atak on my 335i and that thing sounded *AMAZING*, like driving Zeus' Chariot all the time.
