    Did you have any trouble avoiding the wiring harness when cutting the foam?

    I haven't install this but have completely stripped the vehicle to sound deaden. If you are worried, you can cut through the carpet, make your marks on the foam, remove the rear seats, pull the carpet back, remove the foam, and cut it outside of the truck.

    I installed this in my 2017 and there were no wiring harnesses to worry about.

    When you make the cuts, use the bottom of the pans not the cut out.

    I think the wiring is there starting in the 2020s and has to do with the push to start option (if I'm not mistaken)...

    This ^^^
    Also, if I may may a suggestion, I found it tons easier to use an 8” fish fillet knife for the cuts. It is precise, leaves a nice clean cut, and very little to no crumbly mess!

    Limited out every day for 3 days straight. Definitely great days!

    That’s a Canary rockfish.

    We caught Lingcod, Canary, Vermilion, yellowtail rockfish, Quillback, and black rockfish. Caught some yelloweye’s too but those had to go back. Can’t keep ‘em.

    lol. A real big one!

    How are the side panels installed? I have been eyeing those panels but not sure how the install is done and whether I want to drill holes on the bed.

    I unfortunately wasn't present for the install, but I was told they are no drill! :thumbsup:
    They use existing holes and mounting points on the bed and pass-through fasteners.

    They are solid! There is a tiny bit of movement where the two pieces come together in the middle on the side panel, but it isn't going anywhere.

    The front panel uses the threaded holes where the bed rails mount and the torx bolts on the bottom of the bed, and it doesn't move at all.

    Very nice. Black trucks are some of the ones that can actually have some chrome and look good. Swapping the lights, fogs, and the grille center gives it a classy balanced look. Well done. :thumbsup:

    Thank you. I agree, black is the one color that can get away with some chrome. I still have a little chrome to shed (mirror caps) and I wouldn’t mind switching out the grey bumper cover to black. And then onto wheels/tires and a leveling kit/lift. **I can see my wife shaking her head as I type this **

    Yep. As long as black is kept clean, it is very versatile. Some of the snappier blues (Blue Ribbon comes to mind) and silver can pull off the chrome too, but any of the flatter colors don't do as well with it. Cavalry Blue, Quicksand, and Cement all struggle with chrome. Quicksand the most, IMO.

    very nice job dude. I ordered all the AJTDesigns. Waiting in the mail :)
    However vent covers. 3 of them I got from Toyota. 1 of them I just painted and it matches.
    Emblem will be last. I want to see if I can remove it first and paint it.
