New member - First truck in over 10 years

[bertleywjh]

Hey everyone! I've been lurking here for about a month reading up on everything. Just bought a used 2021 1500 Big Horn CC w/ 6'4" bed from Carvana. Still have an order in for a 2023, but I don't think it's worth the extra 18k to get a new one.

The last truck I had was a 2004 Chevy Avalanche Z66, but I couldn't afford the gas when I was in college so I traded it in for a car.

Already planning some upgrades:
- Tyger Riser 6" running boards
- Bakflip X4s Tonneau
- LED bulbs because the Halogens suck
- Bed step

Welcome! Looks like a two-paws-up seal of approval

Welcome, and congrats!

Welcome aboard! Looks like you went dark, I sort of went shiny. My previous is an '02 Dakota, getting a bit rusty now but keeping it around for salty gritty Winter road duty.

Installed the LASFIT LED bulbs. That was a pain in the *** and my hand still hurts from scraping it across the wires on the driver's side headlight.

Ordered a bed mat and rear wheel liners from Rough Country. Next on the list is the BAK Revolver X4s then the step bars, though I'm struggling on deciding on which ones that don't rust or cost a ton of money.
