    hey @zscott, I know you said you were hoping to have them all shipped out by yesterday but... I had my label and tracking number since the 6th and it still hasn't been picked up - did UPS/Paypal mess up the international shipment?

    Let me look into it and see. I had a couple to Canada recently that didn't register as being picked up and then sat at the local terminal until I called them to see what was going on. UPS either does great or awful. There is no mid ground

    For those of you using leather punches on the weather stripping... do you still have to cut through the metal in the weather strip or will the punch cut through it and everything is taken care of in a single blow?

    Thanks! Got it done this morning. Punched one of the holes to close to another one so I had to cut a small section of weather stripping out but it still looks good.

    I cut out the metal and T shape from the bottom of the trim with a dremel, then punched through the flat section.

    So how big a hit are you guys taking on your MPG after installing? I noticed I'm about 2 mpg down after a road trip this past weekend. I did expect a loss...

    Are you stock otherwise? More people in the truck than usual? 2 mpg hit on a rack seems a little steep

    Did you happen to add any stickers to your truck? Those alone add HP and MPG

    No, I'm not stock. I was getting 16-17 prior. Now I'm at 14-15.

    I've got 285's, but lighter than stock wheels. I did notice a lot of wind build up in my softopper during the trip, which was my main reason for posting this. I've got a doggy door cut out in it and it was the worst decision I ever made as it sucks wind in. That being said, I've got a window for a softopper with a doggy door cut in it for sale. Get it while it's hot!!
