I got the same ones and at first thought "Man, these aren't as nice as the OEM ones..." after that I went and filled up my truck with gas (non-ethanol), took my wife out to a nice dinner (let her super-size), and put another $100 in the bank and completely forgot about the imperfections I love mine, one of the best upgrades so far, only makes me wish I had paid the extra to have the square for light holes on my bumper instead of the round now

 

After buying probably a dozen different mounts for my car (magnetic, suction cup, cup holder, cd slot...etc) I discovered Panavise for custom vehicle mounts.

It gets better - Panavise is only about 3 miles from my house.

It gets even better - turns out one of my friends works for Panavise!

Woot woot!

Here is the mount I'm going to use:

And then this holder:

I like it, I like it very much!

 

Or use mechano!

 

 

I used mine this weekend to haul back the wife's new grocery getter...

 

From the picture, first thing that came to mind was you won it at the casino

 

Stuff usually tows better with the vehicle parked on forward. Gives enough tounge wt so they don't want to sway.

 

Took the truck to my local muffler shop and put it up on the lift. Seems like the headers are leaking, not the flanges. I'm going to tighten the bolts down tomorrow morning and see how it goes.

 

Don't break it

 

You used an erector set?

 

True, but seeing how it wasn't my trailer and the hitch was already set higher than my receiver would accommodate. So it was either balance the weight a little to back or drag the jack through pavement. Thanks for the criticism though....it pulled beautifully... with out swaying.

 

I tightened up my rear hatch grab handle, installed the rubber bumpers that keep the paint from chaffing on the barn doors and, most importantly got my HD lugnuts and caps on

 

Me likey! You guys are killing me with the 04 wheels...

 

Also ordered an adjustable Trac bar from Sky's Off Road Design which is a manufacturer of off road components that's about a mile from me.

139 dollars all machined up and made in house w bushings etc included.

That should take care of my springs popping and binding against the hangers due to the X codes.
