Cool! Don't forget to mount some lights on the sides too! JK What is cool, that I have seen is some people mount up some tools on the sides. Shovels, axes, High Lift Jacks.

Still not completely done. Gotta bolt it down and wire it, but this is what I got so far. I also need to order the 2 inner lights. The outer I just got a pair of wide beam, close range lights, the inners I'm going to get narrow beam, long range lights.

Alright! Got the mouse ears on! Looks good!

So what is that in the center of your bed. Looks like a 5 wheel or goose neck setup?

Please paint your side mirrors black. I did mine and haven't looked back yet. Looks amazing on dark green with tint

Oh, lol, no, thats just a a rectangle in the middle of the bed mat with the manufacturers name and a bunch of bungie chords on top of it.

I doubt the truck can pull even the lightest 5th wheels! I have a class III/IV reciever (7000 lb capacity) on the back that I installed last summer. The most I've ever pulled was about 5500 lbs though.

Maybe one of these days. Its starting to get too cold to paint though. What kind of paint did you use on yours?

My cousins truck looks like that with his liner cut. There was a goose neck installed when he bought it.

And I would say keep the mirrors chrome. It flows with the bumpers. But if it was a sport package then painting might work.

+1. I was thinking if I ever painted them, I'd have to paint the bumpers and grill to match!

They make some pretty small 5th wheels

Well dang, I stand corrected. If a little ranger can pull one of those campers, I guess my truck would have no trouble doing the same. I always think of 5th wheels as the next step up from the heaviest standard reciever trailers. I didn't realize they made that small of a 5th wheel.
