Towing pics plus a couple other things

Towing that 6x16 trailer was nothing. Sure it took slightly slower, but it wasn't anywhere near as bad as I expected. Plus, it only made the rear of my truck sag like an inch or less. I still had a pretty good rake and that was with the trailer full with about 2k lbs inside.

The other pics bellow are just a couple things I've done. I got these door sill protectors for about $2 each. I repainted my front bumper. Didn;t remove it.. just taped the upper and lower parts off. The paint was an exact match. Prior to that it had a bunch of chips and lines from water that stained it. Got the paint at Napa and it came in a rattle can. Lastly, had the add the 7 blade towing adapter cause I only had a 4 pin. The I got has both the 4 pin and 7 blade. It was easy.

P.s. I cannot upload pics to the site right now. Is it messed up??

Looks clean. I like the door sills. I have one on the driverside but the other 3 doors dont have them. Might have to go pick some of those up tomorrow.

Looks really good. How do you like that trailer btw?

Thanks. I got the door sills at the hardware store. They were 4" wide and I simply cut an inch off so they fit. They are $4 on this site http://paint-and-supplies.hardwarest...c--633157.aspx

They are on there for good and the ones auto parts stores sell are like $30 for a set of two.

The trailer is really nice. Since it's a tandem axle, it can hold a ton of stuff. Lot's of room on the inside. It's actually my roommates, I was just helping him out.

Wow, I've never had so many typos.
