I have the retractable on mine, wish I would have went with something else. It's not worth what you will pay for it, it doesn't retract really well, and the hoses that are supposed to drain water don't really do their job. I usually buy BAK covers, simply because I have always had good luck with them.

It was the outer nuts on the Spacer lugs. No problem with the nuts provided with the spacers that are on the Hub stud bolts. And to be honest, I was the last one to turn the lug nuts ... when I installed the spacers last year. So now I have purchased a much larger Breaker Bar to make it easier to torque them all to at least 100-120 ftlbs. And I brought a needle-type torque wrench home from my hangar to check the torque.
But not having them is the most dorky part of the stock TB appearance, IMHO.
I'm glad you have a sense of humor. Yes, I was poking a little fun. The dorckyest part of a TB to me is the anemic 32 inch tires in general. Mine is begging me for 35s!It was the outer nuts on the Spacer lugs. No problem with the nuts provided with the spacers that are on the Hub stud bolts.

I really like these spacers, with the stance they provide, and greater stability, and in reducing the sensitivity of the steering. That was really light with the stock setup. Our good friend in PHX seems to not like spacers.
Canadian Army (Retired)The recommended torque spec for our trucks is 140ft/lb which should keep them from getting loose on you next time.
where did you find your auto-dimming rearview mirror?
Awesome
Hey I just messaged you back, sorry for the delay! The hood will need some very minor adjustments to create a good seal with no vibrations. A couple of washers on the driver's side bolts will make it so everything lines up nicely. The hood latch needed to come up and towards the driver's side just a little bit as well. As far as the ram air effect goes, you just need to have a cold air intake with an air box that opens to the top. They recommend K&N simply because the opening on the underside of the hood is shaped for K&N's air box shapes. I happened to already have a K&N intake installed prior to purchasing the hood. K&N's weatherstripping on the top of their air boxes are designed to seal against the hood and all around the opening. Otherwise, the air will blow just wherever in your engine compartment lol, subtracting from the ram air effect. But this hood will improve your engine's airflow even if you go with another intake brand, so long as the top of that air box is open.
