What have you done to your K2 today?

dblaz4685 · November 22, 2016

so i did a thing

Gloss black Bumpershellz. Front bumper now a color matched gloss black.

I am EXTREMELY Satisfied and would order again in a heartbeat. items arrived in perfect shape, perfectly packed and are a damn good match to the factory black.

enjoy the pics fellas (dont mind the HID warmup in the once pic lol- promise theyre 5000k)

Bumpershellz looks great I was on the fence about getting one. Did you get the rear cover also?

Installed the Bakflip MX4 today. Pretty easy to install. Will get the first big test tomorrow since it's supposed to rain for the next 24+ hours and I'll be hauling stuff an hour plus on the interstate.

Let us know how it does. My Bakflip is about 90% water tight. I actually think it is the way the bed is as opposed to the cover but it does not stay fully dry ( pouring, car wash ) etc

Well, I haven't hauled anything but it did rain like crazy overnight. I checked this morning and had a little water inside the bed but not too much. It was on the driver side near the cab of the truck. I'm not sure where it was coming in from, but I was parked up a slight incline with the rear end higher than the front...oh, and I haven't installed the drain tubes yet either. I figured I'd see how things go before I did that. I know some folks on here have passed on installing them too. If I continue to see water inside, I might give them a shot. I do like the cover though, love that it sits flush and that i can open and close the tailgate with the cover down all the way.

So closing the tailgate with the cover closed doesn't affect any seals at the end of the cover?

The MX4 allows you to close it with the cover shut already. It's one of the only Bakflip's that allows for that.

From page 5 of the installation manual: http://bakindustries.com/files/pdf/2016/bakflip-mx4-installation-instructions_4-17-2016.pdf

TO CLOSE THE TAILGATE PANEL

WARNING – to avoid damage, always shut tailgate before closing cover. DO NOT shut your tailgate when the rear panel of your cover is closed.

EXCEPTION - BAKFlip MX4 offer’s a universal tailgate seal which allows the tailgate to close with the cover up or down.

Will replacing the reverse lights, license plate lights, and box lights cause any "light failure" lights? Was thinking of grabbing this set:

They need to hurry up with a 2016 version! I would buy one in a heartbeat.

Nope. Mine are all converted to led. No problems.

I always had cheapo eBay leds before and never again. They would burn out or start to flicker. Pay a little more and get a quality bulb. I run the zevo 194 in my plate lights and philips leds that were 35 for all 4 for the cargo light and reverse.

My brother in law has the MX4 and it is a nice feature over my HD which you have to lift before you close the tailgate.

I run Philips LED bulbs and they are very bright and very high quality

Where can I get these bulbs?
