I like the toolbox, but the bed rails are a little much.

BTW I live in Fayetteville, maybe we can get together sometime.

The diamond plate looks fine..... Good bed rail and tail gate protection.
My question is why are you running the two Wilson truck antennas?
Since the whip and load coil are above the cab... your RX/TX should be quite good with one....
CoPhasing antennas is generally what truckers do; since their RX/TX is directional with only one. This is caused by the trailer shielding the signals on one side of the truck.
Antennas mounted that close generally dont take full advantage of the CoPhasing.... To increase the performance of the CoPhasing; the antennas should be at least 10' apart.

OR 4x4
