Thanx. I love the extra room too. I was fortunate and actually found an Access Tonneau cover in stock at my local Ziebart. Nerf bars are on the way as my wife has "fallen" out of the truck 2x :)

Price out the door was just over $21K.

I'll post some pics in a few days.

Crew Cab Traded

Traded in my 04 CC last night. I pick up my 06 Silverado Extended Cab tomorrow. It just came of the truck yeaterday.

Nothing wrong with the CC just wanted a slightly larger bed and didn't use the 4x4 (maybe only used it once or twice).

Ignition power tap point

I just bought a Garmin 2620 and I want to hardwire the power. Where's a good place to tap off so it will shut off with the ignition? Right now it's rigged to my fuse box but it looks terrible.
