I have a Retrax Pro XR on mine and love it so far. Pricey, but definitely top quality.
Thanks for the compliment.

@ExxWhy Eric, did you select the Retrax Pro XR for the rack management systems to haul kayaks and bikes?

Bikes coming soon once I figure out what we want to buy. Kayaks likely at some point. The rack system gives you a lot of options for various outdoor equipment. I have a set of Rhino rack bars. Made in Australia of all places, seem nice but haven't used them yet. They were what Realtruck sold me to go along with the cover. The cover seems to keep things dry underneath, though admittedly it is a garage queen and is only out in the rain occasionally. Everything was easy to install.

Some pics.... btw, I do have 2 bars, just installed one for the pics.






The cover opens normally with the racks on.



Biggest drawback is the space the box takes up in the bed. About a foot, although there is still 8-10 inches of space underneath. It hasn't been an issue for me.



You can lock the cover in any position if you have things that stick up above it.



These covers stay on when not using the racks. You can slide the base in any position along the track.

Talking Tips for Herschel

https://www.carid.com/2020-ford-f-25...parentsubmodel[]=ENGINE|6.7L

Looking at adding these, one of the few things I really dislike are the OEM tips.

Any other ideas?

Subscribing to this one as well! I hate to see an X go down the road, so hopefully the new owners take half as good of care of it as you did.

I will say that this latest round of Super Duty's are by far the best looking trucks out there these days. Nice ride for sure!!

@Mike_in_STL Just a guess, you probably have the Lariat Ultimate Package.

Anybody have any recommendations on ceramic coating?

I think it might but I'd have to check the window sticker. I can't be any help on ceramic coating unless it Ceracote.

What're you hunting?

Here is how I fixed my air dam (this was built and ready before the truck came but I still drug that silly air dam once before I could get it off there)

Well done. @Doc Rhen Is that the "Silver Spruce" color scheme?
