Completely disagree here, it serves a purpose, but doesn't look nearly as clean.
The Rhino Lining has been hands down one of the best invests I have done to this thing. Especially for me in the country. Every vehicle I own from now on will probably have some form of bed liner on the rockers. I've had people check out my pickup and once they get close to it they finally notice the liner.
Craig I got two sets of hooks at home. Would like to have one pair chromed and stuck on. My billet bowtie needs a new stud put on the backside. The thought has crossed my mind as to what black billet inserts and a bowtie would look like.

One thing I haven't mentioned yet, when I drove it the other day going down the highway, the biggest thing I noticed is it is really sloppy in the rear end. It feels like I got a water tank in the box half full with water sloshing around when I veer left and right down the road. Its nasty. I would have never imagined that moving the shocks would have caused that. A buddy told me I should do some traction bars. Suppose these Bilsteins are set up too soft?
I thought about plasti-dipping them and see if I like it or not. Think I'll sport the all billet/chrome for a little while.

The end of last week I spent a few days working on cleaning my pickup up in preparation for a truck show located in Huron, SD called Wheel Jam. They do a car/pickup show along with the truck show too. Left at 5 in the morning. Had been raining those last couple days last week when I was working on it. Rained all Friday. Drove nice and easy in the muddy gravel roads leaving my place. Drove in rain/drizzle basically the whole way down. Washed it off when I got to Huron. Had to wipe off some mud and shit when I got to the fair grounds. Saturday was cold, wet, and windy. Weather cleared late that afternoon. Sunday was a much nicer day.
Saturday they had a show and shine and a "pickup party". There was some hick ass redneck kids with their old body styles. A couple square bodies. One was very nice, been there past years. One redneck'ed out 3500 CCLB. Some older C10s, older Fords, and one badass bagged International with the original patina paint. I didn't even bother taking pictures of some of the shit that was there. Should have snapped some of the nicer stuff.
Sunday was a local car club's show. Keep in mind, these were apart of the Wheel Jam Truck show part of it. I got quite a few pictures of the trucks, I'll have to make a thread with those pictures.

These were taken at an elevator on the edge of Huron.
I tried hitting this spot where my rolled up tonneau rubbed on the back window with some light compound but need to hit it with some heavier stuff which I didn't have at the time.

These were taken at the Fort Thompson dam which is on the Missouri River. These pictures here aren't the greatest. The sun was the wrong way for most of the pictures.
Finally I took these at the elevator in Wall.
