    He is running clear grip tape on his. He asked me if I wanted to put some on mine, but I think the bedliner should provide enough tractions. I have heard the bedliner also helps keep the rock chips down on the sliders.

    Kind of looks like the "hammered" finish that Rust-oleum sells

    The only thing I worry about with bedliner is it is impossible to clean... lol

    looks good. I am going to try and use mine to access the roof as well. Dont want to bust my ass.

    That makes sense too. I guess I will find out how clean it gets after I get them on.

    I am thinking bedliner may match my flares better

    Exactly why I am doing it to my 4Runner. I also need to do the diff breather mod for the rear axle as well.

    You do the Amazon one and let me know how it goes!!!

    I talked to jake. Getting bedliner. Will cost more, but I did some research seems like it will hold up better... He was cutting and bending today.

    So I couldn't decide on what color to paint my new links so I ended up with gold. I like it cause you can barley see it but then when you do, you really see it. Haha
