This was install day, several months ago. I put the front up near the top of the bed. On the tie downs-you can cut a slit and poke the tie downs thru or you can remove them, poke two holes for each, and reinstall them over the bedrug.
Rented a 5x8 trailer in Fort Worth, towed to Tyler empty-20.3mpg. Loaded the trailer with big stuff (not very heavy), along with a couple items in the bed, and returned=18.5mpg. 65mph both ways on cruise control. Could hardly tell I was towing anything. Very impressed!
If you have the need for passengers, I have the Aries Seat Defenders. Also have them on the front seats. Great for grandkid spills! They have rubber material underneath, so don't slip around.
I know these are not everyone's cup o' tea, but back as a youngster driving 70's and 80's trucks-I just have to have side moldings!
Got them from Sportwing.com. Ordered Monday night, they arrived early afternoon Thursday. Instead of Lightning Blue, I got the Metallic Magnetic to match the fender...
