Hi, I got them from 1AAutoDOTcom. Part number 1AMRP01650. If you don't need the memory feature there is another option that's a little cheaper.

The quality looks good. I guess time will tell but the fit and finish are very good. There is a little more vibration and I find myself folding them when I park as the stick out there a ways, which is the point. Let me know if you have any further questions about them or about installation.

Thanks! Do they vibrate all the time or only when extended? I could live with the latter I think..

Not all the time but when hitting bumps and rough patches, etc. and yes they are worse when extended which makes sense I guess.

Gotta love it when you have a new TV and it hails...only in NTX!

No, no not on my new truck.

We were camping for our first time in OKC over the weekend with our new TV and TT. Saw the forecast and left a day early only to be greeted by hail at home. At least the TV was in the garage!

Got my appointment with the insurance adjuster for Friday to have the estimate completed for the hail damage

New roof for the house has already been approved! Hailo no roof!

I can't believe I was successful, but I got both vehicles in the garage this afternoon in preparation for more bad storms tonight! If I had ever thought the mega-cab dually would have fit in the garage with the DW's car, I'd of done it in the 1st place!

That's impressive. Looks like you'd have hop out on the pax side. I always keep mine in the garage, but specifically had to buy with a bench front seat so I could slide across to get out on the pax side.

The side with my truck is a tandem, so I had to rearrange some of the cabinets and storage in front to fit the truck. So I was actually able to get out on the driver's side and walk around to the back side...over to the passenger side of the DW's car and into the house. Sometimes I even amaze myself!

Impressive Dan.

I bought one of those Mictuning 60" LED truck bed light strip kit a few weeks ago. (Comes with two strips)

Installed them today and just now took a picture. First picture is the street lights shining in bed. Second picture is with the LED lights turned on.

$30 and some change on Amazon.

Oh thanks goodness, because not the truck.

Aired up the rear tires to towing pressure, started loading stuff that lives in the truck when traveling. Later this morning I'm outta here headed to my home base for a couple of months, with two shorter trips planned during this period.

New tires 2 weeks ago, new windshield this week. TV is ready, but TT is in shop.

Added two 60" strip LED lights on the bed cover rails to supplement the two factory LED lights and installed a cargo retrieval tool with homemade holder brackets -

LOVE the holder brackets. I have a broomstick with a hook in the end. I just slide it under the bed mat. A little "red-neck", but hey, it works and it was CHEAP ($5 for the broom stick, had the hook laying around).

Got an early birthday present from my girls today. There was no way I was going to wait to put them on. Of course none of the holes lined up from the old flaps! My kiddos even helped me. Here's the before and after pics:

[Magnolia Tom]

Very nice Dan! Need to get some new ones myself. Don't think I need to do any more advertising for the dealer

Thanks Tom. They are Gatorback brand. They are way more heavy duty than the cheapo's that came with the truck.
