Nice day today so I was able to remove my tonneau cover and all the associated hardware. Removed the upper bed protector things, and then man handled the damn bed liner. That was a PITA removing for sure. Tailgate is off no problem.

I was able to remove the 4 rear bolts without that much trouble. Attempted the front two and they are on pretty good. Fearing that my snapon t55 bit was starting to round I stopped. I will be spraying the bolts down with Kroil for the next couple days morning/mid/night until I get a new snapon t55 bit and will attempt to remove them. I can't stand torx bolts. They always strip for some reason.

I think once I get those two off then it will be better. I know the far right upper bolt shouldn't be as bad since I can spray it from the top and bottom. The far right one just the top. Plus out of all the bolts of course these two are slightly more rusty where the other two looked new still.
