Bed and Tailgate Caps?
I've been looking for a set of these for my truck and all of the ones that I've seen just look kind of cheap.(Wade, EGR) I'm looking for more of an OEM look like the ones that come on the superdutys. What have you all been using? Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Adam

May not like these either.... but they are excellent quality. You won't find what I think you are looking for, IMO.

I too looked at all that was available, to include those from Dodge. I finally decided to look at how functional they would be as in actually protecting the bed rail. I bought the Ranch Hand ones. My friends tell me they look 'redneck' because they are black diamond plate. So, I thought about it and also installed the Ranch Hand front grille guard, Ranch Hand rear bumper, Ranch Hand Headache rack and a black diamond plate tool box.
Dodgezillas truck looks very good with the Mopar/Dodge accessories.

I had black diamond plate rails on my 03 but they scratched the top sides of the bed up where they curved around on the outside. I even had weatherstripping under them. That's why I went with black plastic this time.
My truck is well accessorized with Dodge stuff. Some of it I already had and some of it is thanks to RatlRatl for the great prices. I love saving a buck when I am wasting money on my trucks..........

I put a DeeZee stainless cap on my tailgate to keep the Rhino-lining from getting chunked (loading ATVs puts a hurtin' on the edge of the gate). The cap looks like crap these days, but it's still doing the job.

Hve you considered getting the rails and cap Line-X'd? They can do parts like that without doing the whole bed if you want. I know a few guys that have done that or rocker panels and such. Seems to work out pretty well.

I favor the Bushwackers for bed rails and tailgate protection. I took the bed rail covers off when I had my Leer Tonneau cover installed - left the tailgate cover on. Works and looks great.

I've got Line-X over the rails and then the DeeZee protectors on top of the Line-X. I think the DeeZee side and tailgaite caps fit fairly well and look fairly nice, IMO.
