    Bunky: You have one beautiful machine there! I have a 2011 825i with about all the options you have EXCEPT the glass windshield/wipers and the fuel gauge. Both of those are a must. After using my 825i for about 5 years, both in Maine and NC, I can tell you that all the extras you purchased are a must to have. The CVC guards have saved me many time, not to mention the bumper and fender guards! I wouldn't know what to do without a windshield/roof/mirrors! The power bed has saved my back more times then I can count. When living in Maine I would usually cut up 7-9 chord of wood yearly, the Gator was a life saver. Here in NC I no longer burn wood but have a neighbor who thinks it's great. He will do about 2 chord a year, of course I help him with the Gator, he now looking at purchasing a Gator too.

    One option that I have, you didn't mention was the John Deere front basket. Before I installed mine I cut out thin plywood and covered the inside (painted JD green). I have used the basket as much as the bed. Chain saw/bar oil & gas all fit well and allows for more space in the bed.

    Just food for thought.

    Again, you have great looking machine.

    I did not get the power dumper. I have used it with a load full of cut logs and I found it amazingly easy to dump. I am sure having more load over the CG of the bed helps.

    I did not get the front basket thinking it would impact the view. I saw people mostly using it for coolers but the chain saw is an interesting idea. I keep that in the bed.

    I am still thinking about an under roof gun rack and some front lighting but do not drive in the dark so no pressing need.

    It is now over a year old and the I would have got power steering although I am used to it. You just need to anticipate turns and I have some dead end trails.

    I will likely just grease the drive line and check all the fluids and that is it. I *may* change the fuel filter but I have been running ethanol free gas with fuel stabilizer.

    What is the Gilemoore Cammo cover that you reference. I have the same seats you do but I was not able to locate the covers on that website. Thank you.

    They are not listed. I found them on ebay and you can call them to order or from ebay.
