Thanks. That's what I thought. They look great!

Those look like Putco's. Very high quality stuff.

Does yours have the thin plastic o rings between the rails and anchor elbows ?
They are putco, and yes I think the o ring you speak of is on the bolt in one of my pictures, been a while since I put them on.

Thanks, love the TV, wish it was bigger though, haha! 240 hz auqumotion or whatever its called is awesome, I watch a lot of blue rays on it. I've used the Netflix and vudu apps a few times, pretty cool renting streaming hd movies!

One day I might get an LCD or plasma, but so far every HD TV I've owned has been a DLP. Right now Mitsubishi is the only one making them.

The picture is awesome, and price per inch is the lowest out there.

My current 60" was $799 2 years ago. The have them up to 84"

As long as you don't mind replacing a lamp every few years ($65), they are a great value.

I do have a 32" LCD in the bedroom.

I like the lightness, flatness and hanging on the wall and no glare from lights and windows like you get from plasmas and glass screened TVs, but they aren't cheap, paid 3500 for mine, the 120hz model was 3000. They are lots cheaper now. Does the Mitsubishi have apps? Like for Netflix and stuff?

I think chrome looks especially good on black trucks. I saw a chromed out white f150 a while back and it looked pretty sweet also. The black and the white seem to make the chrome pop more than the other colors do.
Beautiful rails, nice write-up, and great pictures!

Your Doberman appears to have "evil" intentions towards the pooch also in the picture. I got a chuckle out of that.

Thanks for that post...very informative.

I like those rails.
I got the Westin's, they are oval also. But they attach differently. I did not have to cut or drill anything, they completely cover the stake holes. How much did you pay for the Putco's, if you don't mind. My Westin's were $180.
I am planning on using the rails to attach a Yakima bike carrier, for 4 bikes while still being able use the bed underneath.
