    Thanks. I like the tan and the black coating. I had the ARE overland on my full size and liked it but wanted to go all in with this one. Wife preferred the black to break it up, so made the decision easy. It has a texture to it that doesn’t show dirt either so not the same as black paint!!!

    I agree. Color-matched toppers are too much with this color. Just my opinion though...:crapstorm:

    I think so. Not saying it doesn't look good (it does), but I would not go that route. I am looking at Softoppers because I like the easy removal and look of them. If I were to get a hard shell, it would be the textured black. I love the color of these trucks and I think the black sets it off even more.

    need to learn more about this stuff
    Check the thread. Tons of guys with great pics. If you take your time and do install right shouldn’t have issues. One guy pressure washes his weekly. Had them for months. No issues.

    Cool. Might have to give em a shot. I fall into a narrow category. My wife doesn’t care at all what I spend on my truck...but I like the rims, and I wouldn’t mind doing vinyl to see how it looks because I think I want them blacked out. If not, remove and clean off.

    Thanks. They were easier to remove than I thought they would be.

    4470212A-568F-4A82-8285-73990BC4CB55.jpg On my way to the airport, but getting about the same mileage since the upgrade on tires. Neglible 1/2mpg loss maybe. Debadged the ARE topper, painted the recovery hook red, and dipped the rear bumper....and made some memories with the kids in the process. Dare I say it’s almost where I want it???? Neehhh, bumpers, sliders, skids.....nvm....but happier with how it’s looking.
