    Seal around your tailgate and the cubbies. That helped mine a lot.

    Morgan @ ATH fab is the man. Nothing but good things to say about his service and products. Plus bottle openers are a nice bonus

    You guys realize you can use just about anything as a bottle opener right?

    Oh damn, I may have to switch to that. I'm getting so tired of losing bolts and stuff through the tailgate gap.

    For real! Haven’t bought bottled beer in years. Cans are the way to go. Also, love my TC stiffeners. The extra tie down points are great.

    How long did you have the cap on for when you noticed?

    Lighter to carry in, lighter to carry out, you can crush them to make them smaller when finished, don’t break plus I think they take less energy to recycle. What’s not to like?

    I’ve done all that already. Gaps up front near the cab, tailgate and cubbies. Hopefully the bed rail caps make a difference

    I’m just saying if you can reach the bottle opener back there while driving, maybe you deserve to drink it

    I use the tie down points all the time, they're worth it just for those. I got the TC stiffeners as well, super easy to install.
