Sweet fuck that is a great purchase. Absolute love the options and how it is set up. Does that have speakers in the headliner or what am I looking at over the driver and passenger?
Yes, headliner & headrest speakers. "B&O Unleashed" is what they're calling it.

Soooo it's a truck, which means lots o' parts.

For Tonneau, went with another Truxedo but this time their newest option, the Sentry CT. Still a "cartridge" style roll-up but with a woven fabric top opposed to glossy vinyl and aluminum slats throughout to prevent cutting the cover for access.

WeatherTech HP floor liners front & rear as well as WeatherTech mudflaps. HuskyLiner wheel well liners installed too.

Had the bed Line-X Premium sprayed. Then installed an UnderCover SwingCase on the passenger side, as the ProPower Outlets/switches are all on the driver. Just a little something to keep straps and some quick tools organized. I never realized you could remove these in about 4 seconds to have your whole bed back so thought that was nifty and installed one.

Hardwired the radar (Escort Redline 360c) with a mirrortap and a blendmount.


Tint, PPF & Detailing was all done immediately after purchase.

Rear: 5% XR Plus over factory
Windshield: 35% XR Plus

Paint Protection Film is Xpel Ultimate Plus applied to:
-Full Front & Rear Bumper
-Grille

-B-Pillars
-Full Tailgate
-2-tone section of the doors & bedsides

Additionally, a full suite of G-Techniq coatings were applied. I'll try and get some good pics of the finished product, great finishes all around though.
-Crystal Serum Ultra Ceramic
-G1 ClearVision Smart Glass
-C5 Wheel Armour
-L1 Leather Guard AB
-C6 Matte Dash AB

Currently awaiting me to stop being lazy is a CVFab Intercooler, TurboSmart BOV, S&B CAI as well as a 2" level and ~35" A/Ts.



I think that's everything.

to prevent cutting the cover for access.
This has always been my concern with my tonneau cover, that someone can just slit their way into it and steal stuff. I like that Truxedo Sentry CT you're going with.
UnderCover SwingCase
I never knew these existed. How solid is the locking mechanism to keep people out, in the event you don't have the cover on? The only thing that looks like it might cause an issue with is access to the cleat that it will be covering up.

Both are already installed and I love them.

The locks on the case itself and the wedge you install to prevent lifting the whole case off the brackets aren't stellar, but you'll need tools to bypass them. With the tailgate up and locked I don't think you could even get a decent angle to pop the lift-off lock out.

Sooo I see all this fancy Dancy protective coatings and waxes and ceramics but why no under carriage woolwax or fluid film?

Honestly, I had nothing but the rear axle done on my 2015 and will probably only do the same on this. Nothing underneath was really crusty after 7yrs and 170k on the '15 plus the body being aluminum. Do you see anything specifically on the Alumiduty's that get f'd up?

yeah if you want any of that "certified installer only" product I gotchu.
The post was supposed to come after DEEZUZ DEEZUZ asked about the underbody protection but the TCG peeps are too fast at posting.

The truck looks great, glad you got the PPF done right away

That things sick. Congrats!

Thanks bud!


Very nice looking truck! Have you put this 3.5 EB through its paces? Any thoughts as far as towing with it and overall love for a V6 in a truck?
Looking to go from 5.0 to an 3.5 EB similar to yours.

I think the 3.5TT is the best all-around engine for driveability. It's the most diesel-like torque curve and power delivery I've driven in a gas combo (Tundra's new 3.5TT also delivers this experience), especially with the 10-speed. My 6-speed was a joy to drive, the 10R80 just keeps it in that sweet spot so much more. My towing throughout the year includes 2 & 4 place snowmobile trailers, U-Haul box trailers & auto haulers, 18'-24' flat deck car & utility trailers, and most importantly my 27' V-Nose enclosed. I like the 5.0 trucks quite a bit but they just need to be revved out by comparison at the same weights.
