There is a clamshell plastic molding where the skirt panel hook, hooks onto. You have to remove that.

That did it.  I love new cubby areas too.  Isurance / Registration sir?  :) I'm happy to have that done.  I'm getting A.R.E Tonneau with the remote linked to the lock on it and the added black effect around the outside.  It will look like this in Blue.  The outside ring is called the Overland option.  I got a great deal too.  The only issue is, A.R.E does not have them in stock.  They instead make them to order.  It's good for them but, a long wait for anyone else.

I still wish I understood the urge to install jackass ears on a good looking truck.
MAYBE if I towed more than twice a week, not just a ghost trailer.
Not trying to beat on anyone,just trying to understand.

Some people might ask why you would install car mirrors on a good looking truck. We are all trying to understand.

I don't understand why anyone cares.  If people want their vehicle to look one way or another it's up to them.  They don't need a specific reason to appease others.

Got the ZROADZ 50” Curved on with their brackets. Love their set up, just one hole for each bracket and wire runs though bolt. Highly recommend!

That looks great!  Are those in strips?  I've been thinking about doing something to mine but, I had done it before and the vinyl I was sold only last a few years and now it's crap on my other vehicle.  I was thinking about rally strips, just hesitant.

Thank you, yes comes in strips.

It was supposed to be this 0369fdbb9ed2816b1539864c09086871.jpg

But the trim on the door made it so I couldn’t use it so I just took it apart and used what I could.

I actually think what you did looks better.  It's so simplistic and it looks really clean.

Thank you, and I agree. I only bought it because it was very cheap. $15 each well others I see are over $80

    • Oil pump noise was discussed before.  I will try to remember to record a remote start later this morning. 
    • There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65
