I agree Jerry the flares do set the truck off. Much nicer with them. And you got a heck of a deal in the buying process. Do you have the trailer yet to tow the tractor? /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif When is the Reese hitch going on? /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif You did tell the wife that a Reese hitch was mandatory equipment didn't you?

 

[Mrwurm]

The truck came with the heavy duty half-ton suspension and full trailering package. It's got a nice factory class V hitch on the back and the socket to plug the trailer lights into.

I have a trailer (6 x 10 landscape with single 3,500 lb axle). It's not big enough or heavy enough to haul my tractor, but I don't plan on hauling my tractor anywhere.

Jerry . . . somehow I think you and I, and your wife and my wife, might be very similar. I just got the misses a new SUV last week. This week I am looking for ways to "tweek" it to make it better. So far I have ordered the "Genuine Wood Dash Kit" to overlay the nice, but way to simple looking plastic dash components. . . I installed one on one of my convertibles and it made a world of difference. I am also considering orderting some cargo nets, some auxiliary cargo pockets, and a water proof cargo mat. JUST CAN'T LEAVE WELL ENOUGH ALONE!!!

Anyway, I noticed a bump on the top of the cab in your picture. Is that an XM Satellite Radio Antenna? I have one in one of my cars but can't get the wife interested in one for her. . . and when we drive as a family we typically use her SUV because my daughter doesn't like the windblown look of the top down driving experince in the summer or the cramped rear seats any time of the year.

 

[Mrwurm]

Yep, I was looking at some of the dash and gauge upgrade kits myself. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

You're right about the XM radio. It's my first vehicle that has it and I really like it. I was going to put some CD's in the truck and then I realized, I have so many stations that I will never need CD's.

 

[Bob_Skurka]

I pretty much stopped listening and buying CDs when I got my XM. That makes XM a money saving device . . . right???

So like Jerry, is your tractor jealous now that you are spending more time with your new truck??? /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Thats robbery, I suppose 0% financing too.

This is my latest toy: pc, scanner, camera, Loaded with Catia V5 "one month trial /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif"
A good investment if I can stay off TBN long enuff to learn it.

The tractor has been mighty lonely, locked up in the barn for most of the winter /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Hey Mrwurm, where did you get those chrome flares? I have been looking for some just like those but can't find any that go all the way down the side of the wheel well.

The flares are made by TFP Link to Site

I bought mine at a retail store for $116 after some haggling. They can be had on ebay for less. They can also be had for about $80 to $100 on many truck accessory websites.
