Truck Chirstmas gifts...get anything good?

Todays probably the first day back to work for many of us after the Holiday break. So, did anyone get some good truck accessories for Chirstmas? Parents got me Cabela camo seat covers and my gf got me some Weathertech floor mats! Both awesome gifts and fit perfectly.

The downfall of my break was New Years Eve. I was on my way from a wedding ceremony to the reception and a girl going too fast slid through an intersection, on the snow covered roads, and bumped into the driver side doors on my 2012 FX4. Not exactly a gift I wanted.

My baby got all the attention that she's going to get right after I bought it. Now it's time to earn it's keep as I figure we'll be united for at least 15 years.

An extension cord reel to mount behind my grill so I dont have to keep an extension cord in the truck and mess with it everytime I stop for an hour or so. It is like the air hose type that you pull out and when you are ready to retract it give it a tug and it goes back in.

Well, she got rear wheel well liners, vent shades for the front and back windows and a Peragon bed cover.

She gets washed weekly or as often as the weather will allow, polished 3-4 times per year and a thorough interior cleaning and detail each time she's polished and a basic interior cleaning each time she's washed.

She gets routine oil changes and all the normal checks.

For the exception of tires, maintenance and the likely hood of future repairs, I'm not sinking one more dollar into this truck. She will stay bone stock as long as I own it.

I wish I could run my truck less but as for maintenance my dad and I are "neat freaks" with our trucks as well. I have excel sheets made to keep track of all maintenance, fixes, and parts added.

Funny you mentioned those rear wheel well liners....I was looking into those also, to keep the winter grime off the truck as much as possible. Where did you get yours? and how do they fit/install?

I got them off Ebay. I don't have the link handy but they should be easy enough to find.

They fit good and tight and install was easy as pie. All the holes lined up perfectly.
