I also saw in Sport Truck magazine one of the advertisers had a replacement bumper that was the equivalent of the SLT bumper/fascia all in triple chromed metal. That might even look sharper and more unique if you like the chrome look. Rick
But if you must a pretty easy way to remove them is to use trusty old WD-40, spray on let set 1 minute or so then peel off..Clean off glue,spray off clean,wax on wax off.

I will be installing my stereo system next weekend, and will post in the FAQ section.
Noticed in your pix that you included the cargo tray. Have you tried carring anything in the cargo tray underneath the seats?
I am currently keeping the tow ball and slide bar underneath the long side of the seat. Occasionally on a spirited turn or hard breaking, it will slide down to the feet area. I was wondering if the cargo tray had higher sides to help keep the cargo in the tray and not on the floor. Don't want to bruise the back of someones legs with the heavy slide bar and tow ball.

Thanks

The seats are easily put down with the tray in place..
Victx: nice truck great color (2nd choice) and pictures..
Allen-
I just put small items, tools etc in the tray. The molding does help keep the stuff in place to some extent, but with a lot of turning and bumps you will need to secure your cargo if you don't want it moving around. I primarily bought the tray to keep mud, dirt, etc off the carpets when I have passengers in the back. There is not much room below the seats when they are down, so only very low profiles will fit on the tray under the seat while the seat is down.
Now that I've got the camera I plan on more pics. Stereo install this weekend barring a UPS delivery problem.

I must be wacky because I never get tired of looking at these trucks? And I think I have A.D.D.
LOL....

before winter arrives.
Here are a couple of pictures of my SLT. I bought
a $50 Polaroid digital camera today, and these are
the first shots. Not real sharp,(me or the camera
???), but here is the Amber Fire Pearl, with Lt.
Driftwood Satin lower. It has a well done color
matched A.R.E LSII bed lid.
I'll have to post a close-up of the hula girl on
the dash. :-[O
BTW, I scribbled posts 88 and 89

Looking forward to all comments and Questions.
I feel like a new Daddy again!
I see you have the Westin step bars. I really like those and would like to add a set to my 01 Quad. They would compliment my Westin Safari bar nicely and give the knobs in parking lots something to bang their doors against. Where did you get them and what did they cost?
The cheapest I've found has been $199.93 from Atlanta Auto Accessories via the web.

with us. Great looking truck and well thought out accessories.

What brand is the bug deflector?
Allen-
Regrets are: I didn't get the heated mirrors. Was told by dealer I couldn't get them unless I got the rear defroster instead of the sliding rear window. Didn't do enough homework I guess.
Doubts: I was a two Honda owner. Read post 741 in Quad cab and you will understand.
Decals were black.
I live in Rhode Island by the way so if you see me, HONK and wave.
Anyone want to switch??..HEHEHE

as easily available to them, as it is to you,if not even more easily available. It should be accessed instead of standing around slinging BS. I have spent almost 40 years selling (retail and wholesale) construction equipment (mostly mobile) and would be chagrined and embarrassed if I had to allow a client to teach me about the very product that I represented. The General Sales Manager should be embarrassed for himself as well as for his employee(s)and must then take whatever measures necessary, to ensure that it does not happen again. Imagine what transpires when the customer has not the means, time and/or ability to do the research that he/she is entitled to be offered by a professional sales force. Better get off the soap box before I crash and injure myself.

I've since added a Westin Safari Bar and step bars, both in black of course. (Step bars went on tonight in about 30 minutes.) From Lund, I've added the headlight covers, Interceptor bug shield and eyebrows, both in smoke of course. Roll-top is Pace Edwards that only comes in black, lucky me! :-), on top of the spray-in liner.
It would be sweet to park ours side-by-side for photos if we lived closer together. Looks like about the only difference is mine's a 4X4....
Nice Quad!
fat_fenders
As far as pics side by side. That would be cool but I don't have any plans to visit Madison again. Grew up in central Iowa and thats about as close I get. (yes i am a G.D.Y.)
Keep in touch as to what WE are doing to OUR quad.

Bought my Pace from a local vendor for $535, I installed it. If you know how to follow directions and use a drill, well you get the picture... The price was $560 installed so I saved a few $$$ there too. Someone here at work has a Roll-N-Lock so I looked closely at that. Overall build appears similar. Lock on R-N-L had a little cover over it and maybe looked a little heavier duty.
I like my PE so far. It slides easy, locks in two positions, fully closed and open about 18". The PE takes up about 9" in the front of the box but I can still slide stuff UNDER it. There's about 6-8" of clearance between box floor and bottom of Roll Top container.
As far as water goes...
When I washed the truck (always by hand), I did find some water, maybe 1/2 cup total on box floor where it meets the sides. It really wasn't much IMHO, and probably expected when using a garden hose and flowing that much water over the lid.
As far as price difference, I really couldn't see the Roll-N-Lock being twice the lid for almost twice the price. Maybe someone can share their R-N-L opinions to give you more to go on.
Let us know what you decide...

asta- More thoughts...$305 to install a Roll-N-Lock? Even at $50/hr labor, that's six hours. Mine took two hours and I'd never done one before. Sounds like an ankle grabbing experience to me... {:-{
If you're handy at all with tools and really want the R-N-L, save yourself the install money, spend a day on it and use the money saved for other accessories!
Good Luck
