Instead of making individual posts I am going to add this here. Since you guys are experts and have helped me so much already. I want to ask your opinions on a few things that I am going to buy soon.


Floor liners or floor mats

I also want to buy a bed liner & tailgate liner cover. Please recommend any sites that you've like. I am going to be buying a cover my truck too.


Which do you guys have? Roll up? Fold up? One big cover? I was looking into buying the fold up one.


I am going to buy hood & side window protectors too but after the Chevy guys paint it with a protective film (not the clear bra).


Please share any links that would be helpful for me to check out.


Thank you-

for mats: i always get the floorliners the "laser measured ones".

bedliner: linex spray in.

tonneau: Access lorado low-profile roll up. I use my full bed a fair amount, so i went with the roll up.
Soft Truck Bed Cover | Access Lorado Low Profile Tonneau

Yep, I agree with all of that!

And I'd skip the hood protector. I had one on mine and I removed it after a couple of years. 8 years later (my truck is almost 11 years old) and I have no rock chips on my hood. UNLESS you drive a lot on the freeway, then it may help. Not sure what you mean by side window protectors??? Do you mean the little visors that smokers use? yeah, I'd skip those too.

I meant deflectors.

I occasionally drive on the freeway to go to work. But after driving today and seeing how much my truck sticks out. I will probably leave it at home and take the bus to work.

Too late for you, but maybe for someone else- I've got Weather Tech in my Ram, Husky Liners in my wife's CR-V. Laser fit on both is excellent. Quality seems just about identical to me. Husky are a little cheaper. You won't go wrong with either one IMHO.

My Ram came with a hard RollnLock cover. They're pricey, but I liked the security of a hard cover and the versatility to have an open bed any time. Eventually went to a cap
Bed Covers for Trucks | Retractable Tonneau Covers

I'd skip the bug guard on the hood, had them on previous trucks, just one more thing to catch dirt. Didn't seem to make much difference with stone chips or bugs

Window shields, maybe. Don't have them, but I can see the use of cracking a window in the rain.

Spray-in liners are nice, but expensive. I generally go with whatever under the rail drop-in the parts store wants to sell me.

Bed rail caps are nice if you throw stuff over the sides- http://www.bushwacker.com/ultimate-bedrail-tailgate-caps

The spray ons do seem pricey too me. I will check out the bedrail caps.
