  1. This has been discussed a fair bit in other threads, but I'll briefly summarize my thoughts here. In snowy areas of the world, almost everyone uses 4x4 once in a while. 4h serves fine for this. The reasons I see for a two speed transfer case are: 1. Off road. Mostly for the type of rough trails that a stock truck would struggle on anyway. Most drivers don't do any tough trails. 2. Backing up or parking a trailer. The extra torque is very handy if the transmission has a taller-than-first-gear reverse gear. Slopes or bumps can require a fair bit of torque to creep a heavy trailer over. The added control of 4L is great. 3. Pulling a boat out of the water. Some ramps are steep and slippery. The extra torque and control is great. I could be wrong, but it almost seems to me like the 2-speed should be tied to max tow packages, in addition to the off road packages.
  2. Post deleted. Wrong thread.
  3. Hey, $50 ain’t bad! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. A leather wrapped steering wheel is the only "high end" luxury feature that my 2008 Canyon SLE had, that my Sierra Elevation does not have. I do miss the leather wrapped wheel, but probably not enough to buy a new wheel and swap it. Anyway, good work, and thanks for sharing the info.
  5. Great thread. I think if staying with stock tires, or real close to stock tires, 1.5” of front lift looks very good. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  8. I just took mine off, a day after driving the truck home from the dealer. Where are you located? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. Gah. It’s a tough call. I know the Truxedo will last as long as I’ll have the truck. I think I’ll sit on this decision for a bit. Could you post a picture of the cover rolled up? Are the rails indeed curved on the low profile Tyger? If yes, do they tend to flip the wrong way? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. Awesome. I don't think I'm in a big rush to buy. I don't seem to cover the bed that much in the summer anyway.
  11. Hmm, yeah, ok. My Truxedo comes off entirely by just sliding two spring loaded handles / clamps. The tension is also super easy to adjust, and I've never had to make any adjustments based on temperature. I'd also love to see more detailed pictures of each part of the cover. There are numerous reviews on Amazon, but they are all very shallow. Only pictures of them in the unrolled position, and many of the reviews simply comment on the ease of installation, and how waterproof it is, while providing few additional details. Sure, it's a roll up cover, it's pretty basic. But, if I can't see and touch it before I buy it, I want to have a real good idea of what I am getting before I order.
  12. Wow. That Tyger is cheap! Can the rolled up cover be removed from the truck, while the rails stay installed? Is it easy to release the tension and roll up? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. I'm going to need a cover for my 2018 Double Cab. I've had a Truxedo LoProQT on my Canyon for about 6 years, and I have been very happy with it. I've had no issues with wear, deterioration, or tension. Is there a lower cost soft roll up I could consider instead, that would perform as well, or is it truly a "you get what you pay for" scenario?
