  1. Alright, so if i sell a few things (CB, toolbox, <wheels?>) What should I get? Some of the things on my list are a front skid plate, tonnneau cover, and steel wheels. What do you think I should get?

    Trifecta tri-fold tonneau cover
    Cragar Soft 8 wheels
    Front skid plate

    Yeah, and the skid plate protects my radiator and tranny lines. lol But prices are also a factor here. The tonneau cover is $400, wheels are $200, and the skid is $135 plus shipping. If I sold the CB, I'd be aiming for $225 + shipping, toolbox $100, and $200 for the wheels. I could get the tonneau AND the skid if I really wanted to... lol

    Don't sell your toolbox Pete! Unless you do get the tonneau..
    My choice would be either the wheels or the skid.
    Wheels are purely visually appealing as to where the skid is both functional and visually appealing..

    Choose wisely young grasshoppa

    And the tonneau cover will save a lil MPG and protect things in the bed. Also most expensive... I hate making decisions too lol

    That's a possibility.... If I sold the CB and my current wheels, I would get $425, so then I can afford the steelies and the skid. Hmmmmm.... TOO MANY CHOICES! Haha. Oh, and Rob... If I sold the toolbox and got the tonneau, I'd get a plano chest for underneath to keep my shiz, or fabricate with the help of my buddy some under-tonneau tool spots that go over the wheelwells.

    Yeah, I was talking to my dad about it because our skis take up the length of my bed. So I would need something off to the side and out of the way. I'll post another thread later and try.....TRY to draw up something about what I'm thinking... lol

    I say Steelies and Skid that way you can have two!!
    Then if you still want the tonneau ask for it as a birthdayy gift?(idk when your bday is though)

    What's a plano chest? Some boring boobies? Why you want that, they're no fun! =D

    lol The Plano chest is just a giant Plano tackle box. Haha. It's basically a plastic toolbox that sits inside the bed, rather than the toolbox mounted on the bed rails.

    Seeing as you use your truck ( like a man ) my vote is for skid plate .. Protect those components !!! ( radiator, trans lines, oil cooler, power stearing rack .)

    Yeah, I think I'm gonna do this and get the steelies. Then keep the toolbox and I'll be golden for now. Then do what rob or elcamino suggested and ask for the tonneau for my birthday. I like that idea... Haha

    I still hate the cover idea. What wheels do you have now? Personally I think cragars are ugly and why would you want a steel rim over aluminum?
