ugh... that sucks and they're usually a good design, too. at that point i'd say just have it welded at a shop. but if ultimately its a bad fit anyways, maybe not worth the time/effort.

It does have the rotating side rails that lock the slats down. Works great for my needs. easy install and very easy to roll the cover up and out of the way when I need to use my bed.

Thanks, definitely a fair weather rider now. Just ride the back roads for a little wind therapy every now and then.

How was the install?

Not bad. Did it on the floor with jack/jack stands. Was able to sit up underneath it lol. Not used to that much room while working underneath something.
But overall it was pretty straight forward, it took alittle longer than expected but with the instructions and YouTube video instructions, didn't have any issues or unknowns.

What are you using to air them up/down?
Alas, it is not meant to be. I emailed ADD about this, and received this reply:Oh no, I'm probably going to want that one
“Unfortunately this application has been discontinued and is no longer available due to lack of sales.”
So no redesign. Half joking, maybe if they had a spot for fog lights, their sales would be better!

Installed reverse/utility lights a couple days ago. They come on with the reverse lights, but they also have an auxiliary switch in the bed to turn them on if I need extra light behind the truck. Soldered everything in myself. Was a little project for my EE intro class. Wanted the lights, but needed a project too. Two birds, one stone.

Milwaukee M12 compact inflator. Also use my tire gauge that I have for the racecar to check or lower them.
Not a big mod, but I installed these Red Hound door sill protectors. Had these on the last 2 trucks I’ve had and they are the best ones, IMO. I tried like 3 brands before these. I’ve stuck with them since and as long as they make a set for a truck I have I’ll buy em.
Easy install and good quality, nice and thick with that line-x texture.
Same ones as Waterfowler41, and he has a good vid showing how easy they are, but I did mine a tiny bit differently. Either way tho, super easy.

Clear sounds nice, but I think I'm going to go with the Line-X durability look.

I'm going to try the clear ones. The rough texture of the other ones looks like it would compromise the ability of the door seal to keep water out. Here's a link to the clear protectors.

I never really thought about that, but California weather isn't super wet so I'll take my chances.

I wasn't aware they offered clear. Definitely worth looking into that
