Yes, yes, I forgot, they mentioned the additional coupon for the bedslide! Lets see photos when you get some light.

I didn't want to risk screwing the pop-n-lock up, and since they had to run the wires...

What is a master lock tailgate lock? You have a link?

Snapped some photos in the garage this morning. Not the best but I'm leaving for the office in the dark and returning in the dark also. This is my wifes daily driver.

A picture of the Masterlock tailgate lock and coat hanger for the wife. Purchased the lock from Amazon. I believe the tailgates are roughly $3000 to replace if you have the camera. I also removed the tailgate pole (aka stripper pole) and replaced with blank panel then Line-X. The truck is in my spare garage, never mind the mess!!

Your caps look great!!!

Does anyone have warrantee / customer service experiences with ARE?

I love the ARE caps but they will not guarantee a color match with the white platinum metallic tri-color paint. Meaning, what is delivered is final.

Is this true?

116Rob

I highly doubt that is true. Have you called ARE direct? Some have sent in there gas cap covers to help with the paint matching.

FYI, I've had a couple Leer's and ARE is superior in there latching mechanism's and build quality. My .02

Only had one minor issue with my ARE, the seal on the front of the bed somehow partially fell inbetween the bed and cab and was vibrating at highway speeds. I fixed it myself, just took the cap off and glued the seal back to the cap, all is well. No water leak issues here, the cap has been an essential piece to making my truck the ideal family vacation/hunting mobile. My only real complaint is the pathetic dome light they install and charge $100 for. Totally worthless. I removed mine and installed LED's, now the inside is like daylight, draws hardly any power and looks more professional than the dome light. Here are some pics:

Looks really good. Nice set-up.

Great looking!!! I'm thinking about putting one of these on mine as well. Never had one before.

It was tough at first, lol. The whole I'm too young to have an old mans truck was hard to get over, but now, I couldn't see me having a truck without one. The combination of the SCREW, 6.5' bed and cap are really nice for traveling with a wife and 2 young kids. Plenty of room, don't have to think about packing, just throw it in the back if we even think about needing it. I have a big hunting trip to PA in 2 weeks. I only go for a week, but pack enough stuff to last me about a month, lol. I wanted to get the roof rack, but couldn't justify the extra $300 for it. So far I have been able to fit everything inside the cab and bed. If I had the 5.5' bed I would order the roof rack option for a roof carrier.

Looks really nice! Love those interior lights too. Well done.
