It was the velcro comment. I'm sure it's high quality though. It had 3M backing on it, which makes me sure of its quality.

Still waiting for the first order guy to post up. I have no right to post it before him :)

not saying it's not high quality. 3M makes great stuff, but there are different types of backing options. The clear glue back sticks just as good as the white foam back, but a lot more of a ROYAL PITA to remove as the adhesive likes to stick to the paint rather than the velcro. Not a concern for many that will install it and never remove it, and not a huge deal as googone will remove the adhesive, but just pointing out the differences in velcro types just as you pointed out the differences in some early bedtreds not having zippers.

And i wasn't hounding people who got their trucks for a spare tire pic, and calling them lazy, so you can't pass the buck on that one! LOL

But I'll bet ya if it's daylight out when I pick up my Raptor, I'll get a pic of mine. If it's dark, I'll get it the next day!

I was driving today, and all of a sudden at a red light my passenger side starts making a very quiet buzzing sound from vibration. I press on some of the plastic panels to find the problem... Turns out that pressing the airbag cover stops it. Do you guys have this problem? I'm not sure if I should take it into the dealer because they might just cause more problems...

Damn, I guess I was hoping to get something a little more different than the Hummer :(

In the warmer weather (50+) it doesn't do that. When it gets closer to the teens and below the front shocks knock until they warm up. Every car has cold weather issues like this though.

I got no problems with the shocks. It's just the buzzing plastic that bothers me

7 pages and still no spare wheel picture? wtf

Nice truck dude. Personally I'd have the noise looked at since it appears it maybe safety related. Chances are its just something simple (connector/tab/clip not completely seated during build).
