    Welcome!

    Will you be doing any off road adventuring or is this just a pavement vehicle?

    There is "All weather", and then there's Huskey or WeatherTech. The stock mats just don't cut it here with wet red clay.

    Why Step-bars instead of rails?
    Edit: Sorry, Sliders, not rails.

    This is true, I'm still fairly new to the East coast. Mud from back home is a hell of a lot easier to let dry, then brush off.

    Welcome and Hi Mr.Smiley, thank you for your service to our wonderful country :oldglory:!

    Our truck had the step bars on it but the first things we bought were a mat and cover for the bed and leather interior with heated seats :rolleyes:. Oh, and a plug that has his-and-hers USB ports for work and play toys :).

    Do these have any other benefit than covering the bed, do they actually improve gas mileage? Or is it really unnoticeable in either direction/
