Yeah, I worry about that up here too when we go camping.................
I usually bring a couple handguns, and I keep my 12-gauge nearby.

We are looking at a pop-up for next season.

The door panels were the hardest since they are plastic "welded" on, I sliced all of those points off and just reattached that upper panel using screws and washers. I just covered them, the airbag cover, the center console lid, and the shifter in the same method used for the headliner

How did you remove the passenger airbag cover? I haven't actually looked into it. Was it easy?

I did my door panels the same way though. I drilled out the plastic rivets holding them on and replaced them with short stainless #10 screws and washers.

Just have to pop the top dash up, then itll be pretty obvious, i think it was 2 screws (one on each corner under the dash pad lip), been a while since I did it, but it was easy to figure out as soon as the dash pad was popped up

Sweet thanks. I may try something similar.

Straxcla, what did it take to mount that full size spare? I ran over a 10" hex bolt once and it came thru the sidewall. I felt like an idiot limping home with three 31x10.50"s and a donut.
