Ugh. The final leg of my delivery is being made by Southwestern Motor Transport. My 5hr delivery window today (1-6pm) has come and gone. No delivery or call and their office is now closed. After looking them up on yelp & google reviews, this seems to be the norm for them. Wasted a day off from work.

 

Mine arrived about 1.5 hrs after my time window. It was dark, was eating dinner with the fam, and the last stop of the day. Hope they still show up for ya man!

 

I went to SMT"s web page plugged in my pro number was able to track it to my door. Give it a try my have some info.

 

Yeah I did that. I watched the status go from out for delivery at 7:52am then to "ETA 15:47" and then to "Destination Dock" around 6:30pm.

 

Sorry to hear that. looks like a phone call is going to happen tomorrow. If its back at the dock, you could actually go pick it up might be easier than hanging around.

 

I feel a little of your pain. My DB HD is likely ... 10 miles away in a warehouse. I hear it whispering to me, I swear! At least my local shipper seems to be on top of things. The issue is they need a 4 hour window, and I don’t have one until Friday. Of course, after events at work today, Friday will be very touch and go. So close yet so far ...

And Seattle weather at this time of year wont give me extended temps over 50 for a few weeks. Likely.

 

Similar situation here...scheduled with delivery company and they never showed despite several confirming calls after they were late, and later, and later...seems as though I am dealing with clown, inc.

 

Could someone post some pics of this? I am a little confussed.
Thanks

 

Sorry it's a horrible picture I took a couple months back. But you definitely want to remove the top railing closest to the back window to put the gasket under. The way the rail was design, it causes water to leak in when it rains. The water gets underneath the railing and it leaks into the bed.

You simply have to remove about 4-5 of the torx(?) screws, apply the gasket then reinstall. When you reinstall, just make sure to apply a lot of pressure to the top of the railing to even it out. The gasket will make the railing lean forward a bit.

I ended up buying some more foam stripping, similar to the gasket that I plan install on the long rail side. I have no idea how it's still leaking near the center of the bed where the clamps are installed.

 

rainy day delivery!!

 

Nice. Mine finally arrived today as well (after they ghosted my 1st delivery). Just out of curiosity, what does the decal on your fuel door say? Was it something you added or is that factory for a off road edition?

 

It is here!!
Had to pick it up as the local company it was passed off to tried to show up without calling. Either way I got it and its great. Here are some photos:

 

Nice glad they finally delivered it. It's a sticker I got from etsy. Sae one of the other guys on TW linked it.

 

Finished it up. Really quick install. Just took a while waitng for the silicone to dry up in the gap between the bulkhead and the bed.

 

Mine came yesterday. The install was really easy though I did have some issues getting the lock on the cab panel to work properly without any weight on the cover. Here are a few pics, I love it already!

 

Digging those tail lights. What brand? And do you have any pics of them lit up at night?

 

Sorry to hear about some of the shipping issues y'all had. If it becomes an issue, please feel free to reach out to me and I am happy to see if there is anything I can do to help.

As far as the pictures go, they look awesome. Thanks again everyone.

 

They are the Winjet tail lights. I really like them, but they are starting to get moisture inside and I will have to address that soon. It is apparently a common problem. The first set I ordered also had some fairly large scratches on one side and that is apparently "normal". I ordered them from TacomaBeast and they don't even carry them anymore so I'm not sure I can recommend them. Here is a picture with them lit up though:
