I would think your glass bedsides would be the correct dimension only because they hang on the composite bed. If the utility rail were off by much, a different length "J" hook would be all you needed? The "C" clamps are usually large enough to accommodate the difference. The shell sits on the bed edge and I would be more concerned about the edge to edge and front to back measurements. As long as the rail is there, you should be fine as that's how the shell is secured to the bed.

 

Yeah but there is the issue, we are just guessing. I have to build a platform for the shell to fit on since fiberglass won’t hold the shell and mine are way too wide for the shell to sit on.

The bedsides flare up some in the middle (not a lot - less than an inch) so I know some of the height isn’t the same.

 

On the outside, you'd want to be more concerned. For example, my SnugTop overlaps the bed rail by between a 1/4 and 1/2 inch.

Good luck.

 

Yep. That’s designed into my platform thing.

We’ll see how it goes. If my bedsides are much higher than stock I’m going to have to cut that outer lip off.

 

Yeah no problem, I'll grab those measurements for you later today.

 

Anybody know what’s falling from the sky?

 

Looks like there's going to be a Badlands version of the ProEagle jacks

 

I’ll be about and around in Santa Cruz on Friday and Saturday if you want to take more measurements. Mine is a 2022 Access cab with the 6’ bed for reference

 

For real this evening... sorry!

 

Was just going to post something about this.

Harbor Freight pretty much gives middle finger to Pro Eagle (good for them)



I'll probably be buying one of these soon lol

 

I might hit you up for it. There’s a chance I’ll be out town though. I’ll let you know.

Haha. No problem. I’m not in a huge rush and you are doing the favor. So I’m good whenever.

 

Anyone know what this sound may be and if it’s something that needs attention right away?

Sounds like your cabin air fan. Pull the filter out and see if there’s a leaf in there or something. If your not sure how to do that, look in the owners manual for cabin air filter replacement.

 

"or somthing"
numerous postings about mice building nests on the cabin filter or sometimes chewing through it and taking a merry-go-round ride in the fan

 

Yikes. Mine was super loud so I opened it up and found a handful of leaves. Cleaned them out and good to go.

 

You were right! It was a bunch of leaves and debris. Good to go now, thank you

 

Holy cow! At least the fragment or what ever hit his home will be worth something...

 

I drilled a couple small holes and used zip ties and some stainless mesh (had some left over from gutters) to cover the gigantic hole under cowl that lets leaves in. So far so good.

 

I kept finding myself with the truck but no tape measure. Here’s what I got for measurements, though the distance from the t-slot to the bed cap was a little tricky to know for sure since I have a shell mounted. I measured that in a couple locations and it appears to be 2 5/8” - 2 3/4”.

For the width I got 57 1/4”. I took the measurements in front of the wheel wells.

Sorry for the delay!
