Is that the $200 gator tonneau cover? I was debating and doing that or a hard shell roll up.
Just curious on what your thoughts were?

I think it’s a great cover. Doesn’t interfere with the drop down tailgate on mine. It serves its purpose. Keeps water out of the bed. It’s low profile.    It’s really a great cover. Can’t beat the price!

In what setting do you have your bed mat adjusted too? I believe i put mine on 3 but it maybe too much. Yours looks perfectly slick!

Went out and bought a roll of some clear body paint protector (like the stuff that's on the bottom of the fenders)and installed it over the metal brushed aluminum bottom door sill that's inlayed to prevent scratches getting in and out of the truck which mine has some light ones already I could imagine what it would look like after a few months. Looks great and cant tell its on there.

The lower the number the higher the tension if you think it is loose you may want to go to number two

Line-x and rear fender liners. No liners seemed chintzy to me, especially on a white truck.

Nice. I got mine line x’d 3 days ago and ordered the liners about 3 weeks ago and they’re still not here

Plates look great! I had some specialized Go Texan plates on my white 2007. Thy were brown and yellow. When I got my Satin Steel RST, I wanted the all black and gray look. So I got some “Don’t Mess with Texas” plates that are B&W. Rounds out the truck nicely!

Thanks! They sure do make a difference. Even purchased some pink ones for the wife will be picking them up tomorrow as I have to take her truck to remove the plates and registration sticker in the parking lot to turn in and get the replacement new ones.

I went with a 1” motofab lift, Ridge Grappler 305/55/R20, fuel Vandal 20x9 +1 offset.  We had to remove the bracket behind the mud flap as it was pushing the mud flap forward and making it rub against the tire at full lock.  After removal, we were able to push the mud flap back about a half inch and now have zero rub.  Also installed reverse light LED, and license plate LEDs.   Next up, I want to tint my tail lights and will re-tint my windows and make the, darker.

Did you have to install resistors for your LED tail lights?

You misread, he didn't install LED tail lights he installed reverse and license plate bulbs. You don't need resistors for those but it will show up on your On Star email report to service those bulbs.

I may have gotten lucky but with the LED bulbs I put in place on my license plate...I get no alerts on the Onstar report ( 3 reports so far).

On my 17...I would get an alert but it wouldn't bother me lol

    • 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
