Dunrollin! I like those bedrails! but I have a folding vinyl tonneau that obstructs the mount pockets. How do the rails attach on the forward part of the bedsides?

Thanks. Again, those look great.
I'll post up when I'm doing them. You have to scuff the surface with 600 grit. Then I go back over it with 1000 grit. Then you can decide if you like it. Its a stop gap until I kick down for new bumpers. But that comes after leveling, tires and a new head unit. I have time...

paid $100 total as that was my CPO deductible. And a free tow to dealership. I dont think the install would be too bad to do by yourself. The sensor is just in an awkward location.

That is a sweet looking grill! I have the same one. LOL. I noticed you didn't install the LED pods. Did you wire up the amber lights? Bumpers look great too BTW.

2 1/2# Amerex on the Bracketeer
I mounted a fire extinguisher on the front of the driver's seat today, along with the mode module from Timers so that "eco" is the startup mode. Both projects took about 30 minutes total - and it's stinking humid here so I'm done for the day.

Probably better running one of these instead of a traditional extinguisher.

It's called the Bracketeer, and I got it on Amazon. They have a nice install video on YouTube.
