I think I'm getting the Ford trail armor rocker panels that cover the pinch welds. Being in Michigan with salty winters, I don't like the steel bolt-on covers that I see from Mabett and others that will probably promote corrosion.

Depending on if the points get loaded before the sale ends this month, I also plan on the OEM cargo liner that's like carpet since it has the cutouts for the tie-downs and I can use those velcro block things to help with Costco runs. Sill plates are also likely for me.

I would get the tailgate table, but I just wish the Ford one didn't require drilling. I'll probably go with one of the aftermarket ones that avoid that instead.

Are these panels compatible with any of the side steps?

Alright got all of my csx tracker auto dial set up. Last update was arrival to Wayne Michigan @1:29 due to Jacksonville 9/1 @ 2pm. Figure the Holiday weekend will mess up the final leg but very happy.

The pinch weld is terrible, fortunately with BD that's not a problem but I need stirrups my wife is only 5 ft tall. Just need a Badlands grill and to get the mirror caps wrapped body color. Then someday sig lights and swap the BD badge to remove the blue, doesn't match EG at all

Yeah. I watched a video on YouTube earlier where he installed in with the OEM steps.

The pinch welds bother me so bad. Im leaning towards AMP power deployable steps to cover that up and give me a clean look. We’ll see.

I need to take some time to really look around at the accessories site to see what else i may “need” . The sale is a good one right now.

I like those a lot and would be a perfect solution. Just be careful as I’ve seen a couple videos where one side looked lower than the other after installation. Hopefully that’s just installation error.

Hey @OscarHTX when your train was going through the Dallas/Ft Worth area did you get stuck in Saginaw, TX? I’ve been stuck there for a few days now with no movement. Curious what your experience was

No, it never stopped once it left Oklahoma. It made a bee line from Gainesville, TX to Pearland all in a single day.

Darn, just my luck . Hoping I get to Pearland this weekend but I’ve seen in previous threads people getting stuck in Saginaw for awhile. I guess there’s a massive rail yard there and sometimes they transfer rail cars to different trains. Seems like that’s what happened to me unfortunately

For the cargo folks. I just got off the phone with Marketing. I am delayed pending pickup, so just waiting on a truck. (Blend 7/24, Original ETA 8/8)

I'm sorry man, not sure why yours got stopped vs mine. I'm sure it'll move soon and once it does, it'll probably be non stop to Houston.
