I love cruising through the "what did you do to your camper today" thread, I figured I'd add a "what did you do to your truck today".
I'm sure that many of you are like me....and your truck that you use to haul your camper gets a lot of special attention to make sure it's in tip-top shape for your adventures.
I'll start out.....
Today I mounted 2 PIAA 520 Fog lights and 2 PIAA Driving lights to my winch bumper, and aimed them.
This evening, I received a box containing torklift stableload bumpstops. Those will have to wait for another day....we've got a blizzard going on here.

Installed a rear view mirror w/backup display. I had been using a small display mounted on a suction cup w/gimbals behind the mirror, but the suction cup would come loose at the most inopportune times and I was never quite able to angle the display properly.
I liked the compass and outside temp display so I didn't want to go with one of the displays that clips over the mirror but an OEM mirror with display was over $450. The OnStar and the truck's cell service both expired at the end of the trial so I didn't need those so when I saw this mirror from Tadi Brothers I had found my solution.
This is showing the passenger side camera. Kind of hard to tell the way I'm against the bushes. You can just see the white front jack leg. I can also switch to the rear view backup camera using the toggle switch you can see on the upper console next to the passenger air bag alert.

Went camping without needing to touch my truck's OEM suspension even though I was at 18,100 lbs GVW and 23,400 lbs GCW.
Next trip will be about the same GVW but the GCW will increase. Cruise control set at 55-60 mph over the mountain pass works for me...
You do realize we're gonna expect a full, detailed review of this rig?:)

I unloaded my camper.

Since then I'v spent 21 nights camping. ๐
All has been good until my water heater died on my last trip out. ๐

How much did those run? I've got some tired out springs. This would make me happy again.
