Just got mine on Friday. I'm gonna have it sprayed with a bed liner coating before I install it. Just got the truck back on Friday from Line-X. I color matched the whole truck in grey, all black trimming that was doable, the ladder & the roof rack Pics coming soon...

I just ordered a Chinese one for $125 from here, will report back. Praying that modern Chinese plastic is better than the crap LR used! lol https://www.ebay.com/itm/285948787688

Let us know what you think when it arrives. It looks like it might be 3D printed or reinforced on the back.

While you are working on the windshield cowl replacement.... here are some excellent improvement ideas from Tony Luna. I did the same to mine when I replaced my windshield cowl a few years ago. The TrimLock seal provides much better coverage.

Just arrived - Looks and feels like good quality and is not 3D printed. It also included the foam air filter. I'll let ya'll know if there are any installation issues.

I plan to 3D print and use these plugs too so that I don't have to buy them: https://www.printables.com/model/505...r-nut/comments

I am shocked. Chinese made cowls on ebay are for $104.99 now. They also have the A-pillars for $28 a pair. Now make tail lights and front bumpers.

Wow I’m glad you mentioned that, I need one. I’d love some Chinese fender flares too, they’d make a killing on copying those. I find the bolt-style ones hideous.

Looks like they really started making those things. I just found fog lights, side markers and reverse lights on Aliexpress. I got a set of rain gutter clamps from there. They fit perfectly and are of good quality.
