Dang that is one nice looking truck! Great cleaning job man! I gotta clay bar my truck one of these days ha
For the trifold I'd say get a Bakflip F1. I'm saving for it right now ($1239) and its honestly worth the amount you pay for after watching many videos and reading many reviews about it. I won't get it for another 2 weeks when I finally get enough (I'm only 18 ) but if you don't get yours by then I'll definately post a how to thread on aftermarket products if people are interested

Will try to get some larger pictures up later. I think if I drag them from my phone instead of upload them they may be better. :-D

Absolutely man. I think I might make this my build and mod thread. When it happens, the pics will be here. Just not sure if I want to take everything off or wrap the heck outta the truck with drop clothes and masking tape.

Just ordered an Extang Trifecta Tri-Fold cover. I like the soft cover look. It is fairly low profile, and removes in minutes. I still need full access to the bed and tie downs. Looked at the BakFlips but I don't think I can fit my 4wheeler in the back with the tailgate up(the reason I went with the 6.5' bed).

Know anyone who wants an Extang Blackmax button down. Although I may bring it to an upholstery person with my mud boat and have them turn it into a seat and engine cover.

Thank You everyone for all the compliments on my girl. Makes all the hard work feel that much more worth it and gratifying.

If I were you, I'd try pulling everything off. I know some guys have had them snap and crack, or broke the tabs, but I think if you were careful it would work. I'd just be nervous using it right next to my paint. Keep us updated!

That worries me too. We have blast booth set up for bed liners at the office. The guys mask and cover the hell outta things. It's still a few weeks away. All depends on my mood. But I will probably take the easy stuff off and invest in white paper and drop cloths for the not do easy stuff. I am pretty OCD when it comes to painting stuff right w/ no over spray or contamination.

Gettin ready to order some tow mirrors for my girl. All I got to say is, " I think I have trouble at sonic drive throughs now." LMAO. Just need this meeting to end.

I have some pics to load up of some of the work I have done.

Sprayed cowls and Crome running board steps with bed liner.

Installed behind grill lights.

Hopefully this weekend I can wire the lights. Finish The bed liner spraying. And wash her with a quick detail too. Might have to use a vacation day, haha. Then I gotta start gettin the boat ready for fishin season YAHOO.
