Also nice but I guess the reason why I liked mine was because it had some shape and not just so flat. It kinda follows the contour of the fenders and hood..
The only bad thing with these lids is you would have to remove them to really and I mean really go OFF ROADING. I just have to many tools and equipment that I need to keep secure so I needed it. I thought about the Bak Flip but something about it just didn't appeal to me. I was really pulling towards a roll away cover but to loose about a foot of bed space was just not a option..

Hey Toast, you should post up the story you told me about almost losing your bedcover on the open road in this thread.

I get to Ocotillo Wells and in the dirt, finally! I am driving up a hill and theres a ranger in a Chevy with what apeared to be a long travel fron setup. He didnt stop me, but he did want to talk about the Raptor and how he wants one but they arent buying them yet. Then after about 10 more minutes the tonneau cover came open on a bump. The nuts holding the locking mechanism had come off. After searching for them in 115 degree heat, I had no tools so had to hand tighten them every 15 minutes and had to go slow because I didnt want the cover to come off. Eventually a ranger let me use his wrench on it and no problems after that.

I must say that the way these things are held on are not the greatest ideas.

this looks like a good cover my friends dad has this on his f250 and then another guy has one on his f150


This is also one I looked at but I really needed all of the bed space.
I agree Iron. I like that its not flat, Looks good with some shape to it.


In person I think it really finished the truck. My favorite is the solar powered light. Open the cover and the tilt sensor turns on the light just at night, very convenient.

I believe mine was $1300. Not cheap. It has four moving hinges so that when you open it, it moves away from the cab of the truck.
Then the inside is all lined, keyless locking system, finally the solar powered tilt light while custom paint match.
