    Started my 2012 satoshi grill cause I got bored at work.
    image_zps510644f4_a52246aacc5f2c947ff1885e29ec266c90c34628.jpg
    I decided to do the sides while the insert is on the truck so I know it will fit near the headlights.

    By the end of the night.

    Can ya spell Tonneau

    The first time I ever used one was as a winch in a rescue to rip open a door. Hah, 25 years ago. It works.

    YouTube it and find plenty of uses with that thing. Design has been around for many years before it was a popular bed accessory.

    Recommend you take it back off your rig and practice with it. Get the paint chipped off. Pull, push, and jack. Follow the safety instructions! And never ever leave the handle in a tension position. It will kill you when given the chance. Lube it right and it will be a friend forever.

    Thanks. The one thing I like about where I tapped for power is I can turn my fogs on at anytime. Truck on or off

    Washed my truck and found out just how many door dings are there. Wayyyy to many and I park far away from everything. .. found the rear bumper is bent now too from someone backing into me while parked and unattended. ..

    Same thing happened to me. I have a vertical dent in each door now and my rear bumper is crushed in a bit. This is the reason I want some armor on the truck. Not for the wheeling. Don't mind if it's self inflicted. I just hate careless assholes in parking lots who just don't give a shit.
