Some more work from today. Mounted up my basket in the bed with some Yakima accessories...will serve me well for trail trips with coolers and other small items.

Also replaced the chrome mirrors with black. The plan is to replace all the chrome pieces with OEM black pieces. I just don't dig on chrome personally is all.

Some pics:

How it sits as of today...added the ARE cap and the ARB bumper...as well as an AllPro rear tube bumper and AllPro 2" rear shackles.

I know, the cap is not long enough We're doing a bed bob next weekend to take some of the length of for the trails, then the cap will fit properly.
