I'm at Lone Star Conversions in Sherman, TX getting a receiver hitch, step for the hitch and mud flaps installed.

Also, OTR, needs more LIGHTS!😆

A pair of off road lights mounted in the bumper, and a pair ditch lights.
Like Sid, @Msfitoy has, just not as many! Lol!

Sid, I borrowed one of my favorite images from your build thread for this. If you're okay with it?

I also had a CURT receiver hitch installed. Its is top quality and looks close to factory as you can get.

Nice, Mother nature may coat mine in white this weekend.
From what I saw in the forecast, we have chances for rain all the way through to Monday. And what I have always heard ever since I was a kid.
If you don't like the weather in Texas, give it 5 minutes, it'll change. Lol

I've been watching the weather pretty close lately as we're heading out of here early next week. The storm coming across now was supposed to hit us hard but took a dive south towards your area and has the potential for some pretty nasty weather with hail and possible tornados. Stay alert Clay as you know things change fast with these late fall storms! 🌪⛈

Btw...We need to talk about your detailing habits! 🤦‍♂️

No comment, I stand by what I stated about that particular subject in another thread.

Fuel mileage update, I had to change my driving style slightly to make up for the extra weight of the hitch with the step. I'm now also using cruise control on not only the highway but also on the farm market roads.
It works. 🙂

I use the cruise control almost exclusively and average 23-ish might.
And I stress less, which is also important.
