    undercoat, running boards
    Romik step bars/running boards were the first mod -- had to protect the door sills from rocks 'n' slop. Ziebart corrosion protection was done at the same time.

    Weather Tech mats and snow tires go on soon. AMSOIL synthetic lubes in everything at 1000 miles. A tonneau when another $500 is available. Bridgestone 236-60/16s on some nice wheels from Tire Rack by 01 March for a road trip. It already has a hitch, so I'll be able to stop after the tires/wheels.

    Where do you get these and do you just put them in the two holes in the front of the bed on the floor? Do the holes need to be drilled and tapped?
