INSTALLED!

I'll post more pictures and the full story behind the lid sometime in the next couple of days... I've refereed 8 soccer games this weekend and I'm zapped...

So, what do you all think?

 

A couple more...






I'll get some better pictures soon so that you can see the carpeting that you all helped me select (it looks very good IMO).

Wow, RP, that looks great!

I'll have to give it a thumbs up RP, for a hard tonneau. As you know, I'm not a big fan of the hard tonneaus, I prefer the soft, but for a hard cover it looks pretty good. I saw one the other day that had an ARE cover on it painted the AZ Beige. Definitely did not like that look.

Now you need some better sounding pipes on that thing. BTW, you must have decided that you are going to keep this truck for a while huh? No PSD in your near future? I'm thinking seriously, but it will be a couple more years probably. But then again, you never know about me. Just bought a new John Deere lawn tractor yesterday so that hit the pocketbook a little.

Anyway, take care, looks good.

Have to agree with your choice Rock...Looks first rate...Very sharp...Everything matchs great...Was it easy to install ??

 

Hey RP, BTW, how did you get that ding on the back of your truck?

 

Thanks for all the compliments guys! I appreciate it.

CG -- I didn't install it but, I helped the guy who was doing it. Putting it on, initially, is a little tricky (getting it centered and level and such) but, overall, taking it off is a snap as he showed me how to do it before I left. I won't be taking it off unless I have to though...

IL6 -- No dings. Heck, the entire truck only has three scratches (two of which were on it when I bought it) (and various small rock chips).

 

Thought I could at least get a little ruffle out of ya'. Oh well. It looks good.

Did ya'll see my latest screw?



Being the Mark Martin fan I am I couldn't resist a couple of weeks ago at MIS.

 

Looks good man!

(woo hoo, I just increased my post count )

 

Hardeeeharhar.

Actually, I'll have you know that it came with a light installed (standard equipment with the Platinum lid).

 

Rock,

The top looks real good and as picky as you are, I'm sure it's the best money can buy. I myself am a real truck person who uses the truck bed to haul stuff and therefore tops are not pratical for me.

Congrats on the new face lift on your labor of love.

Later,

~DM~

 

Thanks Dave... I think.

 

Hey Rockpick... The bedcover looks great. Did you buy it online or at a dealer. Thats about what I want.... Thanks

 

Thanks bud.

I bought it at a local dealership for Astro. www.astro-cap.com , I believe, has a link where you can find your local distributor.

 

RP -

That's a great looking lid! I really like the fiberglass tonneaus that have some kind of raised, molded in, features instead of just a flat lid. By the way, how much does it restrict your view when backing up? I know the ARE LSII I have cuts down on how much I can see behind me when backing up. Looks like yours will have the same disadvantage.

Sharp looking tonneau!
