Installed the Olympic Mountaineer rack in the trunk area of my 2012 4d. Final result is good, but it took almost 3 months to get and came without instructions and, AFAIK, wrong/missing hardware. A few trips to Lowes replaced the nuts and bolts.
Continued the 5+ year effort to clean and organize my shop... Almost there!

Third Brake Light Mod
After finding out AEV's third brake light won't work with the Black Rock wheels I have, I needed to do/buy something else. The result, piggy-backing on an idea in another forum, turned out well.
Basically, I cut the OEM light housing off of the stock stalk, cleaned it up with a file, and mounted it to some L-bracket I had laying around. Then sprayed the joined pieces and the u-bolt with a few coats of Rust-oleum Truck Bed Coating. Lengthened the wiring, butt spliced the end and heat-shrinked the joints and finished it off with wiring loom. Job done.
