    What’s happening fellas and felletes (can’t forget about the ladies on TW)? Is it just me or does the front end look a touch higher than the rear? I’m thinking of adding 1” or 1.5” blocks to the rear.

    I just didn't have the time. And I'm an old guy.
    They recommend doing an alignment after a few days of use. They get more compliant with use settle a bit.

    I'm curious (and new to bed racks) and thinking about adding a RTT - I too have the stock tonneau cover. seems once you install the rack you can't open or fold back your tonneau?

    Kings, 275/70/17, a few custom items, lots of Meso mods.
    It does look a tad bit higher in the front. New front shocks? Anyway you could do small block or AAL?

    It looks like your rack is a complete custom job. Where did you get that done? And what is the cost compared to some of the other racks out there?

    It is, a local shop near me made it. I can ask them what the price would be if you would like. It hinges to allow the OEM cover to fold up and also disconnects in a few places to allow for different configurations with/without the RTT.

    Just curious to know why you're only considering ARE? Do they have options the others don't? I've been happy with my Snugtop.

    Seeing a lot of guys and probably gals too......adding these Bed reinforcements on here. Can you really tell a difference in the stiffness of your truck? I have a cap on my truck that squeaks a little bit when going over rough pavement while the back window open. Wondering if this might help.

    Did they have to keep your truck or did they have the parts available? I worry that they will impound my truck...

    So thanks to another member here I found knock off graphics of the TRD Pro Decal that came with my Pro and now I'm trying to do a fade into my Snugtop cap that doesn't look over done.

    I purchased the whole decal kit and came up with 4 configurations. Looking for some opinions. The current set up without any graphics just looks incomplete to me.

    #1
    IMG_3621.jpg
    #2
    IMG_3625.jpg
    #3
    IMG_3624.jpg
    #4
    IMG_3629.jpg

    I'll still probably use some of the smaller geometric shapes to help fade the image but looking for a base configuration to start with. Thanks!

    I kinda dig the last and 2nd one.

    I like #3. What's throwing me off is that the decal doesn't go over the shell window. Looks good though. Go with your gut, it is never wrong.

    I agree, go with your gut but since you’re asking I like #2.

    Thanks, with regard to the shell the current bed graphic doesn't wrap around to the tail lights so I don't have to wrap a solid black decal around to the shell glass up top. That's the area where I plan to stop the solid line and throw a few of the small shapes to create a fade. ....maybe to the shell window, but not sure I have to go that far.

    Thanks for the feedback. It seems most of my friends up here in Seattle think it's between the 2 and 3 as well.

    At least the decal is pretty cheap if I end up not liking it.
