Thats awesome broski, my wheels are -10mm offset and wanting to upgrade my 265's to 285's....dont want to trim nor do a cmc so guess ill go to discount tire to try them on.....

So I have a buddy that is running my exact tire with a -12 mm offset. No rubbing or trimming. You should be good, especially with a more positive offset than him.

Fairly easy, right? Did you apply the center console vinyl?

For those of you that bought the Gentex plug and play mirror with Homelink, is it worth paying the extra $$$ on back lit buttons?

Well, lets just say im glad they sent 2 extra vinyls for the air vents. My first one was a little rough and had to redo it. But just take your time and male sure it covers all edges before you stick it down good. And yes i did the center console as well. That was no problem at all. I noticed last night that i forgot to do the 4x4 knob but i will get that done soon.

Why bother with a R.T.T.

Nice job! Your cover should have come with two different size (thickness and width) gaskets. I had two, and one was wider and thinner, and the other was narrower and thicker. The supplemental instructions said to use the wider and thinner version.
Here's a picture of the gasket I didn't use. I oversaturate the picture to show the cross section better.

Here's a picture of how the wider, thinner seal still made the front of the tonneau ride up a little.

I cut the gasket so that it extends all the way to the outer most edge of the cover that sits on the plastic bed sides. It's just squished. The "ramp" effect of the rubber trim on the cover is actually correct. It looks like it could go forward some but in fact, I could readjust the cover and pull it back closer to the tailgate about 1/4" (max). I also bought a generic tailgate seal that I will install some day (LOL) but as it stands now, even going through the touchless car wash or using my pressure washer I get such a minimal (less than a quarter cup?) amount of water back there I don't sweat it. Having the bed mat aids too in keeping whatever I have in the bed dry just from being raised that little bit above the ridges in the bottom of the bed.

I've had 4" of wet snow on the cover and it wasn't sagging at all. I wonder if they reduced the amount of material in the X4? Mine is rated for 400 lbs. I feel confident it will hold that and then some. Of course those rating are "distributed" loads. I am constantly putting cases of beer on mine until I can get the tail gate open. LOL

I didn't want a cap on this truck and for the money I feel this was the next best alternative.

In service LOL on a trash dump run day.

Thank you for posting this! Based on your pictures I did things right, I will have to slowly test out the strength of the cover and get used to it.

Do you have any night pics of the red dome and map lights? I’m thinking about doing that.

Still no night pics, but I posted a quick video on the other thread so you can see how they are in the daytime

I don't actually have a decal for the 4WD knob, but I heard that the extra start button ring might fit. Let me know how it goes.
