What did you do to your Tow Vehicle today?

[Big1]

Put Pacbrake airbags on. Had Airlift on my previous truck with no issues but Pacbrake had some features I liked better and were less expensive. Put the schrader valves in by the gas fill like I did on my previous truck.

I'm getting ready in install airbags do you have any pics of your install?

I'm guessing here, 5th wheel 325 BHQS? If it were me, I'd convert to goose neck to save weight (5th wheel hitch assembly) on the tow vehicle. If not, you will need a load equalizing hitch with sway control.

After my father's passing last month, he left me this old Dodge Dakota in his will. I had fixed it up for him a few years ago and it really does run great. Other than the typical rust and a sagging headliner, it's not a bad old truck. Got plates and insurance on it this week and will serve as a great second vehicle for us.

No. Took some pictures of the brake lines and pre install when I was researching but I deleted them. Except for tweaking the brake line, which was no big deal, went in with no issues. I thought I posted a picture on this site of the gauges and schrader valves that I mounted in the gas fill compartment as I must have deleted that also.

I removed the Ranch Hand guard from the front end. I plan to clean it up and repaint it with some gloss black Rustoleum before re-installing it.

It looks so different with it off, I may not put it back.

Tired of climbing in the bed to get stuff. Bought a used Extendobed, gave it new bearings, paint, decals and Herculiner on the treadplate. Happy with the results and putting it to use this weekend at Cumberland Falls, KY. Couple of photos of the end result and one as bought.

17 f250 power sliding window top track adhesive failed. Not a bit of adhesive still stuck to the track. Napa sold me this adhesive.

Tow mirror mounting

My tow mirrors attach to the side mirror surrounds using hook and loop.
The vibration was strong and the mirrors were very little use on the road, other than to look legal.
I removed the hook and loop and used appropriate length screws instead. Again, mounted to the mirror surrounds.
This was a big improvement. And they stay on through the car wash

Nice truck. Mine is a 2003 with the 4.? V8. I tow a 2014 24' jay flight through the mountains and deserts. Fuel economy is about 10 when towing.
A trailer brake controller is installed as is a weight distribution hitch.
Factory tow package with the extra coolers.
Good setup for towing a light trailer

CHIPS and salsa

My 2018 Titan began peeling paint a couple of months ago. Since McGavock Nissan does not have an on site body shop, I was referred to an outside third party shop where I made my appearance yesterday morning. I then went to McGavock Nissan and presented them with my case letter from Nissan USA. The Service manager started to tell me I needed to have the vehicle. looked at by "their shop" and when he realized I was a step ahead of him, he said, let ME go take a look...He took his phone out and began snapping photos.
Body shop manager told me he has painted several vehicles, not just Nissans, it's the paint quality. Shouldn't be a problem, yours is in nice shape.
Service manager at McGavock said basically the same thing, glad I didn't have oversized tires or a bunch of performance mods. He did tell me it was entirely up to Nissan, they had had several vehicles with the same problem mine has and Nissan did authorize repairs, most have run $6,000 to $7,500 to repair. He also said he was glad I contacted Nissan first and was "going through proper channels".
My preliminary estimate to repaint my vehicle is $9,275.

Cleaned up my Ranch Hand Cattle guard. Applied POR15 to all rusted spots then a coat of Black Rust-oleum oil based paint.

I'm not going to reinstall it until after this next trip.
