Update:

Painted all of my wiper arms. The paint was peeling of of them and they were looking pretty rough. As usual I painted them with bedliner:




Also bedlined the front tow hooks:



And installed tubular curt hitch and wiring harness:




As of April 7th:





Today I just ordered a Westin Safari bar and mounting brackets! It will be in on Friday and will get it on Saturday while I'm off.

***Update***

Picked up some goodies today:





With the bar on:




Now for the lights. (still have to wire them up. Please check my thread out in the electronics section):





While deciding if I wanted to add this, I kept trying to find a picture taken from the side to see how far out from the bumper they stick. Well I never found one, so here is one for anyone in the future with the same question:
