Now I can't find the old pic with the way I had it mounted and the other one I have has snow in it and I know everyone hates snow at this point but Shaun and I. I had upgraded my way of mounting the truck nutz to the truck replacing the zip tie to the hitch adapter to an S hook that I found yesterday at the land fill lol. I guess this would be an " you might be an redneck thing" as I found something there to fix something on my truck lol. You will notice that I have driving lamps above my hitch, I use them as for brighter back up lamps.

looks good Chris..

Right now I'm in the desiding phase for my dash, I think as soon as the weather breaks its getting a make over and losing the flames and maybe gaining a flag. I'm also considering making a new 4x4 sticker for the bedsides, of course not like the stockers..

Good point Ronnie.

I like that backup camera Chris!

I have a lot of things around here that I haven't put on the truck yet.
I would like to get around to doing it this summer.
Been sitting here for a year or two....lol

Xmas I picked up a new tensioner for the blower belt.
I would like to install my roll-pan and Lightning gauge cluster.

I'm going to plastic coat it as soon as I get to the parts store which will be tomorrow. My truck has been already castrated once lol. It got so cold that the zip tie got brittle and snap. Had to wait for the snow to melt so I could find my ***** lol. If you look at the pic of the rear view camera photo thats what my ***** where under.
