I bought these, one got damaged in shipping. Amazon didnt have another set for over 2 mos due to back order. Ended up going with stick on, but they look good.
They let me keep the damaged set. If you need a replacement part, let me know. I have all but the front pass side just sitting here. Don't want to toss them.

I got a set last week. Do yours seem really thin. Mine look good but they feel really cheap made. I've had avs on other trucks and they were not nearly as cheap feeling. Kinda like they were running out of plastic when they made mine.

The in channels are noticeably thinner than the stick ons.

Schizbomb,
What is the tarp type thing you have hanging over the seats to keep off the dog fur?? This is exactly what im looking for in my supercab when i have to throw the dog in back when its raining.
Thanks,
Marko

Not really a mod to the truck per se but nonetheless good for trucks and dog owners.
I went to home depot and bought 3 feet of 3/8" white nylon rope, a pair of 3/8 inch rope clamps, a quick link, and then I used the snap bolt thing from an old torn dog leash.
Using that I made a mini strap/leash to strap to the center child restraint.
Note: I made a nine inch loop on one end just so I could use the strap as a mini leash in a pinch. The actual length of the entire thing from end to end is 21" is perfect. Dog can't jump to the front, or scratch my trim along the back windows. If you want your dog to have more motion forward in a SuperCrew then you could go 24" inches but then they can access the back window trim.
Anyway it's pretty straight forward, clamp the rope around the snap, and then make a loop at any size you want, attach to the restraint in the truck via quick link.
Works great. I am going to wrap the clamps in tape I think.

Has anyone lese removed the lower air deflector? Whats the point of having it? I want to get rid of it, but was not sure if it was protecting something important.

I haven't yet, but supposedly it is to smooth out the airflow under the truck. You are supposed to take it off when off roading anyway according to the owners manual. A lot of people have just cut off the part that hangs down and keep the other part to protect from random rocks.
