    Can't see the pics? They're hosted on my SmugMug account and I just tested from several different computers at home and work. They show up fine for me.

    Anyone else having problems?

    My hitch showed up today.

    I purchased it from etrailer.com. They processed and shipped my order the same day, and upgraded my shipping from standard 5-7 days to express 3-5 days at no charge. I got it in 4 days. I'm very happy with them.

    Ok, here is what was in the package...
    [​IMG]

    Installation was very straight forward. I didn't take any pictures during the installation. I removed the skid plate during installation to make it easier to reach stuff, but it went back on after installation. Here are a couple of pics, please forgive all the bugs stuck to the front of the truck. I'll wash it this weekend, I promise!

    The Timberland Mica was my first choice for color. I like the green! It replaced my green '99 Tacoma.

    Now I just need black wheels and rear bumper.

    This is the only decent picture I could find of my '99 Tacoma. It's a bare bones stock 4 banger. It was a great truck, only had 47k on it. The only reason I got rid of it was to get a 6 cyld with Automatic.
