    Factual statements. They look like they belong on the truck, instead of clearly looking like they were stuck on.

    I have the AVS in-channel on my truck, and they have stayed in place through:
    - Ice storms
    - High winds
    - Pressure washings
    - My own stupidity

    I made a point to make sure the inside ledge was clean (multiple alcohol wipes until spotless). Once the adhesive sets on the visors, they're stuck. 10/10

    I have a Rove R2- 4k camera, but it still uses a USB. Right now it's installed at the very left upper corner of the windshield. It does fine, but I prefer having it behind the mirror. My only issue with that is getting to the controls easily,( which really isn't necessary once set up) but it displays speed as well. Kinundrum.

    But you made a fatal error by not supplying us with the tire size and brand, and letting us know if it rubs or not ....and also what lift/ how much you have.

    Sorry that you’re truck is doing the splits. These look great, so cool that you made your own:thumbsup:.

    For me, I think bed stiffeners in general might be in my way a little, when sliding heavy/ bulky objects in and out.
    Should everyone be concerned about the splitting or just the trucks with shells, overlanding gear or people doing lots of body flexing/ off-roading?

    Maybe someone could make a bed stiffener that fits between the bed and the tailgate mating area??? That I might buy because the current designs would interfere for me as well.

    Swapped out the stock tweeters with the "Subaru" Kickers. They sound good, not sure if it was worth it but pretty easy, just followed a thread from TW and a YouTube vid. Got everything buttoned back up except this stupid cap. Didn't break the clip, it just doesn't want to stay in now.

    I’ve even contemplated using industrial strength epoxy to attach right angle metal brackets underneath the rear wheel wells directly to the side and bottom of the plastic bed.

    That's a horrible idea. What time?
    I had an issue with that as well this weekend. Try and line the clip toward the windshield up first, then the one on your side. That seemed to work the best for me.

    Hi Jacob, welcome to the forum :hattip: Do you have a link to the quick release pins you used? Do you think they work on the back seats too?

    I paid $330 for just the struts, $165 for the AAL, and another $5 for new front strut top nuts (does not come with the struts, but the rear ones do). So $500 all in.

    Stock coils with 80k miles, I got 2 1/4" in the front on the top clip and 1 1/4" in the rear with the overload spring removed. It was a 1/4" more than I was expecting in the front and 1/4" less than I was expecting in the rear. I am dead level front the rear, but I think I'm going to put the overload spring back in to get a little positive rake back.
