We still have the small light bar we took off the orange truck. I'm going to put it on the bumper when I relocate the winch relay to the engine bay.
I think about all the things we could have done, all the miracles we could have achieved, if we were all just a little bit better than it turns out we are.

I double checked on that tire sensor auction. Despite clearly saying "set of 4" the seller told me it was for just one sensor. Too good to be true indeed.

I need some advice on this.

I picked up a decent Draw-Tite hitch insert at Pick N Pull. Problem is, I think it's too close to the spare tire. I can open the door to hook up a trailer, but I worry it's still too close once everything is connected.

I probably should have gotten a drop hitch anyway due to the ride height of the truck. But I'm impulsive and didn't do my homework. I finally found one that wasn't rusted solid into the receiver and I jumped on it.

It fit fine on the orange truck. But that one has an aftermarket Reese receiver that sits below the bumper.

I don’t think that’s enough room.

There is usually a groove that the ball fits into so that it will stay and you can tighten down the nut. If it has one of those it might not. If not then I don’t see why you couldn’t.

Even if it does that's just there to make it easier to install the ball. It can still be flipped.

The nut might get in the grove and not tighten and you would have to use the ball and it would be hard. But I guess it’s on a lock washer and would prob be fine.

Coop would want a redesigned whole new bumper to make it work....he doesn’t sell vehicles just because.
