cold weather shifting

Q: earthman wrote does anybody have any feedback on the best place to get exterior accessories im familiar with jc whitney and summitt and places like pep boys and kragens. i dont have a need right now for a beefing up my hp or hauling capacity...just running boards brush guards lumber racks and stuff like that. how bout camper shells ive got a 3/4 ton long bed...2004. i have these and like em a bunch. http//www.autobarn.net/xxxweatherflector.html they wont fall off after a year like the sticky-mount ones do. unobtrusive factory look dont balloon way out like some others. lightly tinted is probably best dark tinted will decrease visibility around the door pillar. ive got my eye on this camper shell too. http//www.allfortrucks.com/script/universalparts.asptoplevel=2&categoryid=973 .
