What would you get?

[CDR]

New guy. I know I can find plenty of stuff in the archives, but would like some timely opinions please. I have been reading on here for nearly 10 months so I have half an idea.

Looking for any suggestions or comments on my list of possible accessories. The truck I ordered was based upon advice from this board. (2. 5% over invoice and a bit over blue book for trade)

Bedliner - leaning heavily toward Line-x, although a local firechief (volunteer) who works at a body shop installed line-x on the departments grass rig... however, his shop now uses some new brand with Kevlar in the brew??? I will ask further about this and give a report if nobody has heard of this.

Toolbox - Weatherguard

Seatcovers - Probably mopar

Flootmats - Mopar/ Catchall

Mudflaps - probably big Mopar ones

Bars/Steps - like to go w/ stainless and want them to be sturdy - Westin?

Exh. Brake - probably just go w/ Jacobs

CB - don't know that I need to get into anything tweakable, but a decent 10-15 mile range, clear, quality item. suggestions?

Antenna - probably duals(looks), Firestick's decent?

CB mount - I heard rumor a couple weeks ago that M. Brolin was no longer selling

Sound upgrade - I am thinking of the pioneer (DEH-47DH?) CD/stereo that fits in our hole. Any experiences? Do they play homemade (CD R's)... etc. I may replace the factory speakers with Infinity Kappa's if I can get them on sale. Probably won't go beyond that. I don't need to shake peoples houses, just looking for more power and clarity.

I will only comment on the bedliner. I have Line-X and I like it. Whatever brand you go with consider having the rocker panels sprayed with the same matterial. Looks good, no chiped paint, easy to clean.

Good luck.

Line-x from a high volume experienced applicator. This is very high quality. If they have changed/improved the "formula" I wouldn't be worried.

Pro-flap mud-flaps. Very sturdy,thick, and stainless steel strip at the bottom. Especially if you go to 285/75/16's on an aftermarket wheel with deeper offset than stock.

Westin Platinum Series CPS step bars. These are ss with chrome covering. Check out www.westinautomotive.com for $35 rebate offer from 3-1 through 5-31.
