Default 1st accessories!

Ok, it's not much but so far I have installed my receiver hitch(fairly simple but a strange way to thread the underneath bolts through the frame, whatever you do DONT drop one) and installed nerf bars yesterday, WOW, they complimented the chrome wheels very nicely.

Next will be a spray on bed liner....dealer quoted me $400 which seems about average but my dealer is 45 min away, thinking I can probably get a similar deal here at home.

Considering a Turbine3030 exhaust....MAYBE upgrade the stereo but that prob. wont be until my Sirius deal expires.

Going to make my first road trip next week to go ATV riding at Cow Mountain between Clearlake and Ukiah in Northern CA.

did your hitch come with the spring looking things with the long wire? Makes the job not only easier but possible

Yup, and just my luck the first bolt I threaded through slipped out of my sweaty fingers as I was trying to thread the nut.....thought I'd NEVER get it out of that frame....I was thinking three would hold my light trailer just fine but the thought of that thing rattling around in there is what really worried me. That design HAD to be an OOPS from the factory??
