    Hey now, you follow me in my jeep, and you'll need more than that bedliner pal. ;)

    My sister has a 2000ish dodge ram p/u completely covered in bedliner, then they painted it. All done at a dealer, looks good and you don't notice it until you're about 15-20 feet away, and barely then, it's odd. I still wouldn't do it though,

    My jeep has over $1K in bedliner on it, all under the tub, fender wells and entire interior tub up over the bed rails. I also used the roll on duplicolor stuff (minus texture) and put it under all my diamond plate on the rear corners and rockers when I did those. I've had to pull the diamond plate once to conduct some side flop damage repair on RR corner. It was really great under there, no corrosion at all, but a lot of dirt and crap that would have just chewed the S out of the paint and started the rusting quickly here in the wet PNW. I was pleased.

    Back to OP, If you haven't decided to coat the blue gaps, shoot some PPG chassis black on that stuff and black out your bumpers too. That's what I would do.

    i think if the op did the bumpers front and rear it would tie it all together and it would look pretty good. and the silver photo shop one i like thats a good looking truck.

    I like it. I think you did go up a little too high, but I still think it looks good.

    does the aftermarket bumper compromise the factory warranty?

    With 84,000 miles on it, the useless warranty is up! I bought it new in 2006 and the front drivers side shock collapsed after about 26,000 miles while I was driving on a paved street. This was before I did off-roading. The 2 service guys both said it was covered, then the service manager came out and said he would not warranty it, that I must have hit something. I called Toyota motor corp. They said a district manager would be out to look at it within 3 days. After 5 days and no call, I called Toyota Corp again and they said the district manager agreed with the service manager. Only problem with that was the truck was at my house and no one looked at it. Toyota Corp. said I could appeal the decision. It never went anywhere! USELESS WARRANTIES!!!!

    Craigslist had them locally for $75.00 They were/are Stainless Steel that I spray painted black. They were on a ford ranger. I had to customize the mounting, but not hard to install.
