    Yeah, I got 'em. Easy install, look and work good.

    There's a low profile version, but I'm glad I got these because it's easy to dry them off after washing the truck.

    Another Extang question. Did you have to cut away any of the bed plastics so that the clamps could hook under an edge?
    Like the vent visors. I went the same route, except low profile:

    Didn't have to do anything but clean the inside of the rails. Those low-pros look really good.

    Chad, these are the low profile ones I was talking about. You'll have to make up your mind which direction to go. Have fun with that!

    Thanks again. I went back and looked at your install pics. Funny but on the install sheet that Extang has on their site, I don't see them showing these clips that you have. But then they don't mention the factory rail either.

    It was pretty easy to figure out. Once I realized that I had to leave those rail end caps off in order to keep the cover's clip in place the rest was a snap. I've had it on and off twice now and the hardest part is making sure I've got it lined back up so it stays watertight.

    Hey @ChadsPride - how wide is the Toyota logo on your grille? I've been searching the Interwebz and can't find mention of actual size. Thanks bud!

    Can't stay and chat - gotta earn that pay to give to Austin Energy. Jesus, my A/C bill raped my checking account.
