    does anyone have a resource other than oem parts prices to obtain a left and right rear body side protector. Removed my oem trifold along with the retention pins and protector. Looking for a set that doesn't have the cut out for the trifold. Already ordered a set of bed bars with basket for my spare. Any leads would be appreciated.

    I suppose it is good that they are at least real words. The number of made of BS for parts my guys come up with is just epic.

    That said, most of us gomers around here get along better with the common names for things, or at least noting both? :D


    That is a petty good price compared to others that I have seen ($140?). Still kind of crappy considering the stupid texture job.

    When you do swap them, you might consider sealing them with some foil tape and silicone. I found some paint wear when I sealed mine up before installing the Softopper.

    Ill try the foil tape. Plan on mounting a rack to the rails so there will be some weight on it. May just good ahead and order a set from them for $224. Mounting this when it arrives Screenshot_20200819-180202_Gallery.jpg

    I had a tonneau on for a short time, but I think it was me jumping over the side that helped it along. Here's what I did:
