Cracked my passenger side mirror against one of my quaking aspen while backing my truck-bed trailer in...
Silver lining I wanted to put tow mirrors on anyway, so that will be an upcoming change.
Additional stuff in the works:
Inverter to hook to the accessory battery for the rear of the vehicle
Smittybuilt compressor added to the mix
Picked up a mil surplus jerry can
Some other odds and ends (and yes, some of the previous odds and ends, like tires and my roof-top light bar) are still...
Just a quick funny story...I was walking out of the local Wal-Mart the other day right behind a family with 4 kids (all certainly under 10--welcome to Utah). the rug in the entrance rolled up under their cart, so I help the mother straighten it back out and we continued into the parking lot...
Rear lights mounted in the bumper. it was too cold to hit the bumper with bed liner, and I got impatient. I'll hit it as it warms up so it's blacked out like the front.

Couple updates: got my "isolated" dual battery system in. Luckily there was an existing tray unused (it's there for the diesel option) so that made it easy.
Now running wiring for a couple flood lights up front, light bar in the roof and additional reverse lights. Removed the CD player to...
not much progress of late...kitchen remodel is the priority (I like not being strangled by my wife in my sleep). but now have light bar and fog lights that need install, second battery (need a few components to get this set up properly) and expecting to have a roof basket to go on top shortly...
Last couple days I got a new used grille in a little better shape than my own. Used chunks of the old grille melted in acetone to fix some cracks and hit it with bed liner. Also dropped the front bumper (which involved one bolt that wouldn't budge so hit it with WD-40 then liquid wrench and...
