1) Ordered and received a Uniden PRO520XL CB Radio. Thought about mounting it in the ashtray slot, and it does fit, though it sticks out quite a ways. Looking for a better location before doing the install.

2) I ordered the Curt Trailer Hitch from etrailer.com. It should be here in a 1 or 2 weeks. I went with the Curt Hitch over making my own hidden hitch because of safety concerns. Using the Curt I know I will get 3500 capacity, which is higher than what the VX rated for, and I can pull a trailer safely. The only way to do a load test on a hidden hitch would be built it, then pull it until it breaks, and that may break the VX. From a safety standpoint, this really is the way to go.

I still need to finish fixing the window travel on both doors, and I have swapped out one window motor (driver), but I am still having issues with the window tilting forward on the way up. With it being super cold out lately, I am not in any hurry to work on it anyway. I have the motor for the passenger side as well, but I don’t want to start that until I get the drivers window sorted.

The build continues...
