[slick copper]

Okay. Did a bunch of stuff yesterday. Removed the bed cover, bed liner, and step bars. I'll keep the bed cover in case I need it, but I couldn't stand how it was pulling up on the corners. The rubber that held it into the rails is/was dry rotting and tearing. I also hated how the overly common step bars (no offense) were missing a bolt in the driver side center support bracket and sagging. But also didn't give me a very sturdy feeling step. Not to mention they don't go with my blacked out theme I'm going in. The plastic bed liner had to go too as I've known them for doing nothing but holding water and rubbing the paint off the bed and causing it to rust. Went ahead and took the matching tailgate mat off too while I was at it.
