Truxedo has updated their ordering options for a "w/ Factory Sport Bar" FYI

[Kevin Holcomb]

I had to try this one I bought but if it doesn't fit I may go with this option. Thanks for the info.

I bought a Revolver X2 and had it modified like a few other people. Best option out there for a tonneau cover. It is hands down the most low profile tonneau I've ever seen.

Just be careful... I looked at the install directions and there should be 8 total clips as opposed to 6. There is some sort of extender aswell.... to clear the rear brackets of the bar. I will be ordering mine tomorrow.

If you read through this thread. It is not only possible but people have mentioned a couple of models that work. I have one on order it will be here tomorrow and I will be posting weather it worked or not.

 

I test drove a 2016 Silverado with the new Off Road Sport Package today, and I really like it. I asked at the dealership if there's a bed cover that is compatible with the sport bar, bu nobody had an answer - anyone know any different? It will help me decide whether or not to get the dealer-installed sport bar or not, since the bed cover is more important for me than the sport bar and associated lights.

 

Thanks.

Truxedo Lo Pro QT Soft Tonneau Cover will work without modifications. Just installed one on my 2016 tonight. See my YouTube video of it all installed with the sports bar on it.

All done tonight. Fits perfect. Check out my YouTube video of it all installed on the truck.

That is the exact unit I purchased for my truck. Truxedo Lo Pro QT. Not sure who is giving you the details but I think they might be a little confused between a roll cage and a sports bar. I installed it tonight. You can see my video on YouTube of it all mounted.

 

 

 

Followup, I called Truxedo this am and the launch is pushed back again! They are now saying 1st quarter of 2017. I may just purchase a Revolver and modify it at this point. Very frustrating but especially with GM for not planning a tonneau to work with these bars.

[Kevin Holcomb]

I installed it tonight on my 2016 Sierra with Sports Bar. See my YouTube video of it all mounted here.

 

Anyone have any luck with Truxedo Lo ProQT? interested and waiting like @Torn11 said but definitely open to everyone else's opinions!

Wow that seems like a bunch of money here's my truck all equipped with LED's from a variety of sellers on Amazon. Not sure what lights in particular you like but even my big straight bright white off road one was pretty reasonable made by NiLight on Amazon. You can see all of the lights I installed here. The only one we didn't turn on is the super bright NiLight cause my truck back end was facing traffic.

 

No problem. I didn't install the lights my self I worked it out with the dealer. They were excited because they didn't know the lights existed until I told them about them. Not something I would normally do but when you spend that much on the truck they can throw you a bone. I haven't see the instructions my self, but best I can tell the truck is already partly wired for this. I just checked under the drivers side bed and you can see the harness come down from the lights and plugs into the factory into the factory harness. They installed a new head light switch, with the option for the fog lights and the driving lights(and yes you can drive with all the lights on at the same time, looks really cool at night). The cluster has a secondary light to denote that the driving lights are on. I'm not sure if this is in all trucks or only the all terrain. I believe this is similar to how the under rail bed lights are wired. All the GM trucks of this generation have the switch on the dash for the cargo light and adding the under rail light is as easy as plugging them into the module in the truck. No programing required. As for the driving lights, I would recommend them they are very bight and work well is rain and snow. As I said earlier a ridge led light set would run between 6 and 8 hundred and still need to be wired off the battery and a switch installed in the cab. These were $1,000 and work seamless with the truck. Oh one more thing the part number for the kit is 23415424. There are two kits one for fog lights and the other with out, I guess they have a different switch. Be careful for non-all terrain owners, this kit is for a truck with fog lights.

 

I am not exactly sure how to post pictures but if someone can tell me ill post the pictures of the lights and switch.

 

let me know if you have any other questions, ill be happy to answer.

 

Thanks

It's a pretty straight forward simple mount. If you didn't get it yet let me know. Also I believe there is a YouTube video showing installation of one.

I ordered the 2016 Sports Bar Package but it didn't have instructions. I'm not getting any leads from local Chevy dealers telling me its against policy to disclose installation instructions to customers. Im at a loss of words and need help installing this awesome sports bar package...any suggestions.Thanks,

If you dont mind me asking, what does your switch system look like.. I wanted to put on some hazard lights but do not want to modify and drill too many holes.

Looks sick!!!

No I don't mind. Here is a link to the one I purchased. Also my top light bar has its own and I wedged it in between the driver seat and console edge. It wedged in well. The other one we removed the forward console runner piece below the USB and 12 volt plugs and drilled one hole big enough for the harness. The switch panel I used was actually for a boat but I had to nothing but lay the wires flat and while it floats a little it's solid enough without screwing it down to activate the switches and shut them off with no issues. I saved the rubber piece in case I ever get rid of the truck I can just pop it back in and no visible hole will show. Below is the switch panel description and a link. If you want one the company sent me a spare because I had one light not work at first on one switch and then a day or two later something just must not have been plugged all the way in because it started working and I haven't had an issue since. They are over 45.00 I'll sell you this brand new spare one I have if you want it. I sell on eBay as well so I can take PayPal. I also have a usps account to ship it out flat rate priority and usually they get stuff most places in 2 days on east coast and 2-4 days to west coast.

I've read through this topic purely out of curiosity as a GM tech. Couple thoughts. I have installed said bar on a Canyon with a roll up cover with the same notching as mentioned in previous posts, but on that vehicle the cover will roll up too big to fit between bar side rails. Another thought, after installing a few of these "OFF ROAD" kits, have found that the switch has to be held for a few seconds to turn on and off the factory light kit on roof and isn't controlled by highbeam. Info I haven't seen mentioned here on the topic. On all the installs I did, talked to customer and got permission to break power feed from relay to lights with an additional high beam controlled relay. Now when meeting oncoming traffic, they go off with beams instead of having to hold and wait for 3 seconds.

I went with the retrax pro mx. Had to cut the sport bar, but I figured cutting the $900 sport bar was better than cutting the rails on a $1800 bed cover. I love it.
