Makes me want to throw down the 1k for ceramic coating. Really sweet.

These guys make a great product. I've done 5 vehicles over the past year with this kit pictured below. Shine is unreal. When you log on to their site you'll likely get an instant 15% coupon offer or better when you spin the discount wheel.

I searched all over and still can't kind the answer. Did the tremor actually come with a rear sway bar?

I don’t think the paint on my Tremor is very resistant (or maybe not fully cured) but I already have some light scratches from bushes I encountered while off-reading in the first few weeks… any miracle solution for that? I saw they have a package called the “Weekend Warrior” with a clay bar…

Recommendations welcome!

just picked up my tremor couple weeks ago I now have 670 miles on it... yesterday I put a 2 1/2" leveling kit in, I think it look fantastic now! What a differance!

When you get time can you take a picture of your CV axel angle from the front? I was thinking of putting a leveling kit on mine but would go with 1 or 2 inches.

There are some scratch removers on the market, but a light low grit polishing compound usually does the trick followed by a finishing polish or equivalent. Since you have a light color I can vouch that Nu-Finish scratch remover works well. I was in my wife's company car some years ago and was forced off the road into some plastic construction barrels and that stuff worked a miracle. Just finished it off with some liquid wax afterward at the time.

Nope.

Great tips, I really appreciate!
Thank you.

I just tried them for a Tremor last week and they told me it was sold and they had none inbound. I’m in So Fla.

Here is a sort on 4X4 Rangers in all their stores. Luis' cell 407-279-6844. He's super helpful. He can flag something too if it's inbound.

I went to a few truck accessory stores and compared models on the market before settling for this one (RetraxPRO XR). I plan to mount a Yakima-style rack system one day. I opted for this model so it can hopefully deter thieves a little longer in case I have valuables in the bed and need to step away for a bit. And also if I'm in the snow it shouldn't destroy the cover because of the weight it can sustain (allegedly 500 lbs).

Yes I lost 1 foot of bed length, but had to accept this drawback based on my needs ?

I'm very happy with the quality. The instructions were good enough and there's a few videos online when in doubt. I made some adjustments as I went. I feel comfortable I could do it again in about 2 hours (which is usually the time shops would charge for labour). It was the first time I mounted such accessory and I'm a bit of a perfectionist so it took me twice that time.

Little trick: I have the OEM spray-in bed liner and the bed drain hole covers where concealed as they had been sprayed over. Once I realized they were once removable, I had to gently pry them open.

Finally, not gonna lie: I was even more pleased with my purchase when I saw "North Dakota Made" on the box!

I was wondering about the space taken up by the retraxpro as I am considering getting one. A specific measurement I have been trying to find is how much space is between the bottom of the bed and the bottom of the canister. I us my truck for work and haul around some ladders. I have a little giant and a four foot step and a couple 2 ft on a regular basis. I am also assuming from your post that the canister essentially takes a foot off the length but I need to know the other dimension to see if I can still slide my ladder under the canister without any issues. Thanks in advance.

Happy to help:

On my 5 ft bed, the canister is using a foot of length (which you had figured out). Now in terms of height, there’s about 10 / 10.5 inches of space from my rubber bed mat to the bottom of the canister. So just under 11 inches without a mat.
And about 40 inches between the two drain pipes if you make them fall vertically. If you make them exit to the farther sides of the caps, you could potently get another 2 inches in length between the pipes.

So the space under the Retrax canister is about 40” W x 10” H x 12” D

I have been looking for a trunk that would fit underneath, similar to my Plano 1919… so far I think my closest option is two MTM ACR7 side-by-side.

Wasn’t easy to find in my area but picked this up last night.
