    Everything for well before I found the stripped hex bolt, but I will see how it fits once I get that out

    Flowmaster cut before the axle, plus just a ton of road noise period. Wife said she gets a headache, figure I'll try and help

    I just picked up a new one myself - I had no idea they were LED these days - my others are all still incandescent. The LED's are awesome!

    1) The base of the top cross bar is even with the top of the cab. I would say the uprights points are a good 3" above the cab. I like it because it clears the shark fin.
    2) The bedrail mount style will not work with the low profile/bedrail mounted tonneau cover. That is why I drilled into the top of the bedsides.

    I used 3M adhesive remover. Then I cleaned with simple windex. Slight residue still remained. I waxed and it was gone.
    Good Luck

    I used Goo Gone on bedside decal. There is still a smokey haze to it.

    Installed new Xenon headlights today. The fact that you have to remove the grill to change a headlight really upsets me. But I made the best of it and added a fresh layer of plasti Dip. I hope the Xenon headlights are worth it. I really hate the amber of halogen bulbs.
    Also I removed all the mud flaps. No more dragging when I go off road.

    Purchased my truck on Saturday and just installed a Fold-a-Cover and a Pop and Lock PL-8521 today. Not a big fan of covers or anything, but I need it to keep my work stuff somewhat safe.

    I installed the rack a couple of days ago but I put the antennas on it today. I decided not to drill holes in my roof.
