    The front end is still stock (the Platinum comes like that.) I am looking at a rough country bumper though.
    Mirror covers I got from Toyota as they offer them painted and ready to go.

    I was pretty much set on getting a Diamondback cover, but I like a low-profile look, so this has me thinking.

    I switched to this cover because of the convenience of just being able to roll it up when I want to haul something big. I used to have to go back home and take the tonneau off then go back.

    @bensky Does your Retrax tonneau cover leak water? [A lot, a little, none? and if so, Where? Front or back or both?]

    Have you had any issues with it yet?

    I'm pretty much set on this, as opposed to a Diamondback because I like being able to step up into my truck bed.

    Also, you have the aluminum slats right?

    I'm not going to put weight on top of mine, and I like the matte black look, so I am figuring on going polycarbonate. Not sure which one would last better and be more resistant to scratches and color fading.

    Sorry for all the questions [I guess?o_O]

    thanks!

    I've got bags but with toytec boss suspension and coils. Air bags firm up rear when beds loaded. I like them.

    luckily for 2020 the PRO closed the gap between the platinum now all it has going for it is blinspot and ventilated seats...which i mean...they are ok...

    I don’t know how I missed this tag. I only had one issue with it. When I took it to my carwash the high pressure sprayers would let a little bit of water in on the tailgate seal. I fixed it by putting a d-ring seal behind the factory one and now it’s bone dry. No other “issues” if you can even call mine that.

    One follow up, how “tough” do you think the RetraxPRO is? Might be a weird question, but do you feel like it’ll stand up over time? Throwing dirty mountain bikes over top on bars, roof top tents, etc etc?

    I’ve had it for over a year and still like new. I won’t walk on it, but my son is about 160lbs and he walked across it with no problem. I think it’s tough as nails.
