Does anyone know if a ReTrax Pro MX will fit/work on a 2020 with 5'7" bed, ramboxes and multi function tailgate? Retrax replied it might if no L brackets in the front of the box by the cab. I do not have the truck yet so I do not know if it has these brackets. I would like to order the cover if it fits. Any help would be appreciated.

Yes it will. I have the Retrax pro and the multifunction tailgate doesn’t affect the bed with Ramboxes. Although you have to have the silver rails on your truck for it to work, so don’t buy a truck with the factory cover, the rails won’t work.

Are your bumpers stock? First black and white combo I have seen. Looks good.
Yes, they are stock. Could be...my truck was a late production unit...so whatever was coming down the line was installed. It happens.
...case in point. I had a 62 Fairlane with a 289 and 4spd. Never happened ?...except I got it thru Tasca Ford...who verified , back then ...if it fit and it was the end of the line...anything can happen...and it did.
Very , very nice ! :)

Wife's 2006 Honda Accord, Silver exterior, gray interior was also an "odd duck" contrary to "availability".

That does not look like a multifunction tailgate. Would that make a difference?

Installed SwitchPros 9100. Controls Baja Designs lights including 20” bar, Two S2 Sport reverse lights, a pair of S1 A-Pillar lights and two S2 chase lights.
Looks and sounds awesome, would love to see more pics of the install, the lights, and the switch panel.

Some Chinese knock off from eBay for the Toyota Tacoma.. surprisingly it fits like a glove! I put 3m double tape to hold it in place. you can also hold it from the sides with a zip tie.


something like this


How did you wire them? I love the look.

Thanks for the info.

Been a long while since I did anything to my Rebel; installed square profile locker rails on the bed - <$90 for some minor DIY. Not for 'heavy duty' use but it'll do for now until I consider a different rack setup

Dropped it off at the shop to receive some paint touch up, and PPF the bumper and fascia panels. Also going to be trying to get a video of my brakes squealing in the morning as described by a TSB so the dealership can’t give me the BS “we couldn’t replicate the noise”. Also want to get the console lid replaced for the annoying squeak it has.

Recently installed a Flowmaster FlowFX Direct Fit exhaust on my Bighorn. Fairly easy to install, especially when using the proper tools. I love the rumbling sound and it's not too overbearing...plus the price was nice.
