Oh, being the anal, er, I mean precisionist, that I am, I can always find something to worry about.
Right now, it's what's crawling around in my right boobie... :o

I meant besides that.....that kind of was assumed. I'm worried, too. Hugs!

Okay, FINE. I'll worry about how mean Vickie is going to be to me next time...if she'll bring me to tears or not.
You do know that is NOT out of the question because she's such a bully.

This is the tonneau I have on my truck - I like that it's lighter weight than a fiberglass one and back when I got mine, the flip or flex types weren't readily available.

And as far as running boards, I have Nerf bars in all black - http://www.runningboardwarehouse.com/ne ... MgodVCgAjA

And yes, I keep one of those folding step stools in the truck - the walls of my truck bed are high enough that I have trouble getting stuff from the side - I can only imagine what you would go through.

Oh and I recommend going to a truck outfitter and have both the tonneau and running boards put on after market. The dealers get a crazy mark up on them. And while the dealer can do the brake controller and the WD, I went to my trailer dealer. They do a lot more of them.

Congrats on the new truck! Very sharp!
Question: the truck can now pull more weight, but is it posdible to put too much weight in the trailer itself?

That is the only thing I thought was available (besides cloth (or canvas) or the full cap). Then when searching, I found the others and liked the BAKFlip HD. I'm glad you know people who have it and like it!

And as far as running boards, I have Nerf bars in all black - http://www.runningboardwarehouse.com/ne ... MgodVCgAjA

I was at that site yesterday, too! I like these (this is on a red Frontier: http://www.runningboardwarehouse.com/images/products/detail/Frontier.jpg

And yes, I keep one of those folding step stools in the truck - the walls of my truck bed are high enough that I have trouble getting stuff from the side - I can only imagine what you would go through. NOT YOU, TOO! ? ? :(

And while the dealer can do the brake controller and the WD, I went to my trailer dealer. They do a lot more of them. I plan to take it to the place where I bought my trailer. But do I have to go to the trouble of loading it all up, ready for camping for the WD to be installed/adjusted properly? UGH if I do...

Thanks! :)

Yes, I still have to watch weight in the trailer - its payload is 1,050 pounds. But I wouldn't have enough room in that little thing to store that much weight!

I'm looking forward to not having stuff in the aisle that has to be moved to stop for lunch or a nap (I'm big on naps).
And I won't have to cram the two little storage compartments with so much stuff, so that it's hard to get to the stuff I need.
And BEST OF ALL - I can hopefully go up a mountain faster than 20 mph!!!

I think the idea is to keep the step stool IN the truck so that you can use it to reach things in the bed. If you kept it in the bed, then you'd need to crawl in there to get the step, just sayin'. :roll: :lol:

Ditto on the running boards only on the cab part and not extended to the bed. I've seen people with single cab trucks get the running boards intended for 4 door trucks. The twisting between the cab and bed bend then up something awful.

Running boards? A mini trampoline would be cheaper. The trick is to stick the landing though.

Maybe Amy can loan you those white things she and Bobby have on their feet in that photo and you can learn to walk around in those! :lol: :lol:

Gorgeous color! Maybe you need to buy a bigger trailer now...just sayin'

Mitch, I couldn't help myself and went to http://www.nissanusa.com/trucks/frontie ... -crew.html to find out more about your truck. Gosh it's great. But on that page I found these with their recommended prices:

First, for you:

Then this next made me think of Soos - look at Nissan, making a tent to FIT the truck!
