    What type of hitch is it? Is it a 2nd gen factory hitch or a uhaul, or hidden hitch? Does it have the manual? And the bolts should not be bent, at least mine weren't and it wouldn't have worked if they were bent. You should bring all the appropriate bolts (mine had two different sizes, some small and some large) (look for an online manual or look at the holes on your hitch to see how many bolts you need, cause I have no idea what kind you have). You might want to bring some extra washers for them, and make sure you bring a socket wrench that fits.

    I will probably be more help when I find out what kind of hitch it is and what you might need.

    Receiver hitchs are pretty simple, as long as you have all the right bolts for it.

    Forster - Decided to not do the satoshi, instead I am going to hardwire my 400w inverter. Then I can help out with other peeps on some of their stuff.

    I'm in on that!

    I might paint my bumper while I have it off, too. Seems like as good a time as any. Anyone have a good recommendation for what to use to paint a stock bumper black?

    Oh man, I never replied to this. Sorry!

    It's an OEM hitch I got off someone in Tacoma. There's an instruction manual I have downloaded.

    I'll take a look at it tonight, and see what I have/am missing. I know some of the bolts are bent/angled. I'll got to the Parts Store if I need anything else. Probably end up pay more for the bolts than the damn hitch...

    We should also have a back up date just in case the first one gets rained out. Working on a truck when it's raining is not fun.

    Hmm, I'll have to see. I plastidip'd my grill about 6 months ago and it has held up like a champ. Plus it's much easier to put on compared to spraypaint cuz i'm a lazy ass :D

    I was thinking about doing mine!

    How much do you have? I was just going to plastidip but if you have enough I might paint them.

    I was thinking about dipping my front and rear bumpers just to see how they look, maybe I will actually do it now haha

    So according to the poll, I am guessing the date will be Saturday March 17th. We can make a backup date one of the sundays because they both have two votes so far.

    That looks great. I have a black truck so I am wondering how the BSP/Flat Black look will be. I regret not getting a white truck..
