    The first of many. Thought I'd start small. Love reading this forum everyday for ideas, thank you all who contribute. I hope I can get up to speed quickly.

    Amen. I have had my truck less than 2 weeks and have 13% of sticker into mods. I figure if it's in black and white, it may slow me down a bit.

    . . . but I doubt it.

    That was my first mod too! Except i turned the hose clamp around so the head is not pointed out towards the back. If you have somebody hold the tailgate at a 45, you can get under the truck with a long driver and make it tight. Both ways work. My next mod is to put a lock on my wallet and hide the credit cards! Happy thanksgiving!
