I am looking for four things, a topper, light bar, lights and better tires.
SO. whats everyones advice on toppers? I am getting one so I can take the tool box out, and get more room in the bed for my dogs crate (I want it right up next to the cab so I dont have to worry about being rearended). I want one that has either sliding, or the tailgate style side windows so I can access the bed from the sides still. I have been looking a lot at leer, are they decent?
as far as lights, PIAA, or lightforce? I am thinking two fog, and two spot (I drive a lot on backroads in the middle of the night maybe a two flood would be better to spot deer huh?)
I want to mount them in front, not on top, so whats the best lightbar to get? I know someone on here has one that actually has tow hooks on it too, that thing looked sick.
and tires, I would love mud terrains, but not sure what that would do to my mileage, right now I have rugged terrains, should I just get those again (mine are getting ready to reach their limit, thats why I need new ones).
SO there is my shopping list, help me piece it together!
thanks guys!

I use a http://www.randyellisdesign.com/DODG...0BAR/index.htm lightbar it retains the stock tow hooks. For a shell I like the metal shells with dual doors and no tail gate. http://www.workmatebylifetime.com/ I don't know the quality of these but here's a place to start.
I drive dark back roads with open range when I visit my folks. I have spots and driving lights they work good enough for me.
When I need new tires I'm going to go with something that is 33" tall on my 04. I want a little taller gearing. I don't know what make yet.
Good luck
