Added a flip down bed step to my RAM 2500... now we can step up into and out of the bed without risking life and limb.

Dang that looks like an expensive piece of hardware. How much does it weigh?

Just under 50lbs, no worse than the wd hitch that we had on our 1/2 ton.

They also make one that works with many WF hitches...

Replaced the fan clutch. Was being a pain until I made my mechanic's scarifice (cut my arm on the fan blade) then it was easy after that. [emoji23]

Removed the puck adapter and Curt slider, then put the goose ball in. Tomorrow I’ll get the PullRite 2600 setup.

Put one of these in today. Easy install woulda been easier if it hadn't been so hot! To swing it out you have to move things out of its way but most of the time I will be able to just reach over the side and get what I want.

Finally got around to installing my Diamondback Side Boxes. They can go either ahead or behind the fixed center panel or both on either side with one ahead and the other astern. They're stainless and very stout. My only complaint is shown in the second pic. For this kind of money they can't supply the proper length bolt? Now I have to buy 4 cap nuts to avoid having my arm torn up.

Installed tow mirrors. Mostly for looks but they are a huge improvement over the DL8 mirrors. Plus the blinkers add a little safety factor.
BTW I use this truck to tow my 6x12 cargo trailer not my TT. I have a stock Silverado for that.Click image for larger version
