That's why I wear the collar down until I have reason to "pop" it!
Honestly, I'm not all that sure I like these big mirrors. I was just giving Tyler a hard time because the mirrors are the only thing different between our two trucks (well, that and his bumper). I was really fine with the power nemo mirrors on my old truck and I can see where the hoop mirrors would be a nice compromise. These things are nice for towing though! They're just BIG!
The SD pic would be funny though!

Got the bed set on the truck this evening. It's just sitting there with a few bolts in it. I still have to hook up the fuel filler necks, put tail lights in it, put the rails in the bed for my goose neck and fifth wheel hitches, and put my tool box on it. It's a shame the paint was faded so bad on parts of the bed because the parts that aren't faded match my truck perfect. I plan on having the bed painted before RRE though. I'll post up more pics when I get it all finished.

It does sit high in the rear. It has an extra leaf in the rear springs. I may take that leaf out to lower the back down, or..............do a 3" RSK to level it out
. Probably just take the leaf out of the rear
