Alright @AzScorpion give me the break down on your 303 regiment. What products do you use and what order?
Hey Jeff, I wrote this up a while back before the Graphene was out. So just substitute the Optimum wax for the Graphene Nano Spray and the Graphene Detailer. I'll hit it with the detailer about every 4 weeks. I also use a power washer/foam cannon now too.

https://www.ranger5g.com/forum/threads/detailing-time.2038/page-4#post-123695

This one here explains how to use the Graphene Nano Spray and there's a few good YouTube videos too.

This one is for the Detailer.

Unwanted/unexpected semi-offroading at 40mph because a Camry driver forgot they had mirrors. Truck handled the two on grass two on pavement really well at that speed. Not sure if TC kicked in when I got on the brakes (didn't slam them) but if it did it was seamless.
Glad you're alright! A little ditch baggin is always exciting. Your taxes paid for the ditch too, so might as well drive in it a little ?.

With the recommendation from AZScorpion, purchased an Access Vanish Tonneau from a local forum member and Installed today. Looks great!

Looks great Charles! Did you have any trouble with the shims? Now just hit it with the Aerospace Protectant and it'll stay looking brand new. :like:

There were no shims that I could see. And the seller didn’t mention that he needed any either.

It was a bit challenging to get it secured. I think I can see where the shims would be beneficial. I’ll reach out to the tonneau contact you provided to me and inquire. I also think it needs a new weatherstrip about 3/4” tall to seal the front.

Overall I am pleased so far.

These are the shims, there are 3 per side and go behind each clamp tucked under the bedrail. You might get lucky and get away without them as long as the track doesn't fall off like mine was.

I’m on my second cover. I don’t like this one either, though the clamps are excellent. The first one, the clamps would fall off every two weeks or so. That was with shims.

Kevin, the same thing would happen to me. I'd get them nice and tight and everything looked good then next thing I know half the cover was in the bed. :explode: I called the company and finally got the shims set right and it's been a good 2 years without any issues. Now I probably just cursed myself.:frown:
