Hitch and wiring added. Taking it over to my buddies this week to figure out a rear bumper so I can ditch the roll pan. Bumper has to be pretty slim and fixed to the frame for the tilt bed so its a little tricky. ![http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h135/jacobennis/434B49DF-3150-4B09-A17B-5D92A5FB888A-141-000000043CEDFC0D_zps639687ca.jpg](http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h135/jacobennis/434B49DF-3150-4B09-A17B-5D92A5FB888A-141-000000043CEDFC0D_zps639687ca.jpg) ![http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h135/jacobennis/52AFF7DB-751F-4F4D-877B-AAB0F6C8FADD-141-000000044470395B_zps7f470140.jpg](http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h135/jacobennis/52AFF7DB-751F-4F4D-877B-AAB0F6C8FADD-141-000000044470395B_zps7f470140.jpg) ---

Haha… I was actually looking over the setup yesterday to see if it was hydraulic or electric/hydraulic to see if it would be possible to run by remote… lol. The actuators took a little longer than expected (tight squeeze and not a lot of options for attaching to the factory lock rod). But they are in and wiring run. Tonight I should be able to finish everything up. I must say, it’s quite nice being able to stand to do a remote start and not have to twist all around to fit under the dash… lol. ---
