    1) The base of the top cross bar is even with the top of the cab. I would say the uprights points are a good 3" above the cab. I like it because it clears the shark fin.
    2) The bedrail mount style will not work with the low profile/bedrail mounted tonneau cover. That is why I drilled into the top of the bedsides.

    I used 3M adhesive remover. Then I cleaned with simple windex. Slight residue still remained. I waxed and it was gone.
    Good Luck

    I used Goo Gone on bedside decal. There is still a smokey haze to it.

    Installed new Xenon headlights today. The fact that you have to remove the grill to change a headlight really upsets me. But I made the best of it and added a fresh layer of plasti Dip. I hope the Xenon headlights are worth it. I really hate the amber of halogen bulbs.
    Also I removed all the mud flaps. No more dragging when I go off road.

    Purchased my truck on Saturday and just installed a Fold-a-Cover and a Pop and Lock PL-8521 today. Not a big fan of covers or anything, but I need it to keep my work stuff somewhat safe.

    I installed the rack a couple of days ago but I put the antennas on it today. I decided not to drill holes in my roof.

    I'm just kind of living with it. I put my new decal over it. I can and probably will wax it. But it's not like I can buff a whole lot in some areas.

    My tacoma had intimate relations with a deer this morning coming home from the mountains. Bumper damage not too bad but will still need to be replaced. Time to start looking for a new steel or aluminum setup.

    I've been going back and forth on that same question. But I think steel it will be. it may need more maintenance in the long run but you won't have to worry about deer or pretty much anything afterwards. If I paid 3 bills more for a aluminum and it got tweaked just a little, which can much more easily happen with aluminum, I'd be pissed!
