How much I'd the junk yard sell it to you for and was the color the same?

I didn't mean it was useless I just mean yeah try look awesome, but when you post a pi of the lift it's just showing it off, witch I don't blame you two, if I had a lift, it would be in every thread hat I'm saying by useful is something original, a mod that's yours not bought.

I read this on another forum and did it. Basically the throttle cable stretches over time and I guess can allow for less responsiveness. So heres what you do. If you look behind the gas pedal theres a crimp that hold the wire and pedal together if you add zip ties to the cable it takes the slack out and tightens the feeling/ response. I have friends who drive my truck some and they are amazed and surprise at how responsive it is. I used 2 little ties and bigger one then trimmed the extra so it couldnt be seen. It took some time to get used to but I feel that it actually improved the resoponse.

How hard was it to intall the hitch mount? I have a front plat and was thinking I could mount the hitch there and make a plate that would fit in the hitch so I could take it out and make a step or somthing like you did.

Not hard to install at all! I made the hitch receiver from scratch. So I made it bolt to and fit where I wanted. I have seen some pre made crap front hitches online but they all sit below the bumper instead of through it! And IMO that looks like crap and sits way to low!
