You got part numbers by any chance? When I look them up I see a few variables, and I’m not sure the differences.
Check out this thread for other factory and aftermarket options

Did some light paint correction to get rid of a few light scratches and the baked on water spots that came with the truck, then applied one coat of CQuartz UK 3.0 Ceramic Coating. They recommend a 2nd coat, but based on how my back feels from all the buffing, one may have to do . . .

Are your mirrors power fold by chance?
These mirrors are power folding on Laramie and higher trim levels. I'm sure there is a way to order the power folding version and get them wired up. There are a few members on the forum who know way more that I do about how this could be accomplished.

Put the new bumper on the 02 and washed and waxed it yesterday. Been a good truck weekend. Not bad for a 20 year old truck.

Gonna wash the 22 here soon.

I am aware of that. There was a possibility that he ordered his Tradesman with power fold. I have the parts numbers to put power fold on my new, though yet to arrive, 3500 regular cab. I was just curious about his old non chrome tow mirrors.

Installed Gator SRX tonneau.

This is my first soft, roll up tonneau. Installation was very easy. It seems to work well, and is easy to use.
Comes with a 10 year warranty.

I’m not worried about theft/vandalism, so didn’t want to drop $1k (or more) on a hard tonneau.

Installed a big wheel kit (911 motorsports) on my floor jack, and mounted it in my bed. I used rivets so the mount can be easily removed via just two bolts. I have a second mount toward toward the front of the box so it can be strapped down there, but using it to hold down the chainsaw. In the meantime. Also mounted a shovel on the passenger wheel well. The axe will be mounted on the driver wheel well but need to wait on the outside to arrive. And lastly mounted the tie down points to hold the Jerry can. All in all was a very productive. Forgot how quiet this thing is with out everything bounching and rolling around loose in the bed. Glad to finally have it all strapped down.

I researched these several weeks ago, so can't remember the specifics, but liked the X-act much better. I seem to recall differences in the type of rubber - I think the Weatherbeater version was more slippery, which was one of the things that I didn't like about my old WeatherTech mats. But I might be wrong here. It was a few weeks ago.....

BTW - I think these will be great for winter use......
I have the regular weather beaters in my 4runner and the xact in my power wagon. I'd highly recommend the xacts. They weren't available when I got the first set, and I was so happy with those I almost got them again, but decided to take the risk. Well worth it. Same fitment and protection, but such a higher quality feel.

In a work vehicle I'd probably still go weatherbeater, but for personal or split use xact is the way.

@Benson - did your mud flaps require drilling? I’m getting ready to install the OEM ones, and it recommends using a wax based rust protector for the holes.

The crappy instructions don’t indicate if I should spray the outside of the drilled area, or if I need to use one of those long thin straw type extensions and spray deep inside.

Any idea? Thanks!
