Some of you might have seen this posted elsewhere, but I could not stand the "unfinished" look of my Lariat grille. Decided to pull the grille and go to my paint booth and repaint it Atlas Blue/Black. It really seems to make the truck look finished". Before and after photos attached.

This is dope!

I may have to look into getting something similar to this done with my Carbonized Gray Metallic maybe by this spring. :love:

Edit: If my truck ever arrives. :unsure:

Did 3 full loads of deliveries to the Food Pantry today.
The Gator Trifold kept everything dry.
So in case you were wondering, it looks like the Lightning can hold about 500# of packaged Stuffing. :p

This is incredibly useful to know, and I will be well armed for the next family turkey day. 'Cuz I love me some stuffing.

The latest round of mods is coming along. The stock Platinum wheels have been stripped and powder coated black with iridescent pockets. The new Mickey Thompson Baja ATs are on. Next step is the level lift for the front and the power running boards. Should have it back next week.

Didn’t even recognize the platinum rims. That red wrap and those tires/rims are definitely looking really nice, even without the level.

I used my 22000 points for the Lightning Mudflaps. Got them installed today and put together a tips video.

Added the under armor swing case, bed mat, Bakflip MX4 with Elevate rails (for my future rack).

How wide is the gap between the top of your tailgate and the edge of the cover? I also have the Elevate TS rails but using it with the Bak Revolver X4s. The gap on mine is about an inch which makes it a lot less secure. I was hoping I just installed it wrong but I called Bak Industries and showed them photos. They confirmed it was installed correctly.

I actually spoke to Truxedo today and they are aware that the elevate TS rails have a problem with bakflip tonneaus. Apparently there is a fix coming. It may be a seal that needs to be applied to the cover to close that gap. My gap is about 1/2 inch. All kinds of weather elements get in. It’s brutal. I almost feel like I should have done the retrax. I’m surprised Truxedo didn’t test this before hand.

FYI. I have the Elevate TS rails and they work great with my Access Lorado soft roll up tonneau cover. No gap or water issues.
