I like that Cupton, I was going to do one like that, struggled with which way to go. I kinda wanted to match the bumper.
 
I use the Meguire's Natural Shine wipes, drops a coat on it, can't even tell, and stuff wipes right off, bugs and all.
 
Just got my BedRug, and RetraxPro MX cover installed Tuesday. Think I'm going to spray the clamps matte black....

I was thinking of color matching too but couldn’t find it in my color. That’s how I ended up with the black. I was torn between the smooth vs. textured so I settled on textured. I actually really like the black now. My truck has a fancy man mustache.

i just got the AVS too.  Low profile, and looks good. Only been on a day so can't say how it performs but so far so good.

That is what I have been looking for.  Do you have apart number?

Sorry for the delay.  Hunting season has started up here in the great North and cell is spotty at the camp!  The dealer didn't put the part number on my receipt but it does say "bugflector" and I know it's the lower profile one so I think  25131 is the part number for my 2018 Sierra 1500

I put a Weathertech hood deflector on my ME.  I like it a lot aside from the extremely crappy installation hardware they used.  I preferred the way this one installs vs others that require you to install those tabs over 3M protective tape on the lip of your hood.

Another vote for the AVS Bugflector II.  I've had it on my 2015 since 2016, and no issues with the tape.  It's held on no matter what I've put it through.

So does anyone have the matte-finish Aeroskin II version with the extra lip on the top?

I see member CUPTON has a similar one that doesn't have the lip, which I might go with.....

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
