Default Re: Any Suggestions On What I Should Do?

i don't know if you can mount a toolbox on them. most guys cut them so the box can fit. and between me and you, neither of those are the way i'd do it. and those rails are rubbing the paint off on your truck too. you could tell where mine were months after i had took mine off. but yeah. either a over the rails spray liner or just some nice rails. i spent about 110 bucks on mine. and that even includes the tail gate cap because my OCD kicked in and i hated the fact that the tail gate didn't line up.

I heard you say spray bedliner, and I heard you say tool box.

remove the bug deflector and bedrails immediately! Ditch the chrome bumper and get an Edge/colormatched bumper, and some 06 corners

yeah. when i first got them, i thought maybe it'd be close enough.

um yeah. it didn't line up and was like that for a week. because that's how long it took for the tail gate cap to come in. haha.


it was the best 30 bucks i've spent. haha.

and on the toolbox subject. diamond plate is the way to go. depending on which way you go with your truck you could go either diamond plate or the black diamond plate. for you, just the silver would look fine and probably be cheaper and easier to find. And i would suggest a low profile tool box as they flow very well with the truck.
