    ...and about two weeks earlier than they cited, too. A very pleasant surprise.
    Now I'm driving to my buddy's house so he can help me install it. Hopefully with two sets of hands it'll go quickly and painlessly.

    Straightforward, easy install. Took about an hour, but could've done it quicker if it wasn't so miserably hot and muggy. My god, laying in the bed under this thing tightening those clamps/bolts almost gave me a heatstroke. Could've done it myself but a second set of hands is highly recommended. Drove an hour on I75 back to Lexington and no weird rattles or strange wind noise. When it's daylight tomorrow I'll go out and retighten the clamps, as instructed. On looks alone this thing is badass. I climbed atop it and it is sturdy as hell. Think I'm gonna dig it.

    Assuming you are happy with the black ruff coat on it? (Looks good to me).

    Love the coating on it. Durable and grippy for when you load things on top. Believe it or not I put some takeout food on top and completely forgot about it. Drove home and it was still on the bed cover lol. Here’s a pic of a massive Costco run I did recently

    I’d love to get one but a long bed is 2,000! That’s a big hit!

    I’ve been looking at these, they look great and can handle 1600lbs which is amazing.

    Can the OE bed rails underneath still be used?
