Never thought I'd find a better one than what I had.....

Overall great look

Thanks man [emoji1360]

Like the wheels. What's the cost for that?

Should run you between $125-$150 per wheel

Thanks for the post. Just ordered mine from forum dealer https://www.tonneaufactoryoutlet.co...lander/truck-hero-undercover-ridgelander.html

That’s great! Post some pics here when you get that on there.

Also, did the install with my wife and it was pretty straightforward. Only thing I’d suggest is to pull up this YouTube video showing the installation process:

Thx to this and a few other posts I ordered this Ridgelander cover this weekend, and look forward to getting it installed and ready for MTB and camping season. I was down to the Diamondback SE and this unit but since I’ll have a Thule Canyon XT cargo basket and bike racks on top, that blocks the ability to lift open the Diamondback covers to access the bed, where with this unit I can open the cover with racks installed for better access to the bed.

I think either way I would have been happy, but love the integrated Rhino Rack system that comes with the Ridgelander as I won’t have to drill or make any mods, and it’s going to save me about $500 vs full setup with Diamondback SE.

I’ll post pics and reviews once I get it installed and tested.

Cool! Enjoy it. Mine has worked out great for me. Only thing I would recommend is swapping out the gas struts. It comes with 45lb struts. I swapped them out for 90lb struts. Go to www.liftsupportsdepot.com and search for these part numbers. They’re direct replacements. I paid something like $65. Well worth the money:

Thank you for letting us know about this - this is the exact cover/rack type of system I was looking for. For me putting something on the roof would have been a bit too inaccessible and this is a great solution. Morrie over at Tonneau Outlet is great to work with also.

Looks good. One question for you - can you open the tailgate with the cover down?

Yeah, you can. No problem.

Like the idea & I think its a really nice setup....big issue for me (and alot of other truck owners) I want to be able to have full bed access w/o a lot of fuss - either be able to have full access w/o removing tonneau (like a roll up) or be able to remove quickly (like a hard tri fold - advantage hard hat that I used to have), I wouldn't be able to just run down the road & get a bed full of wood chips or load it up w/ pallets for my bonfire etc. w/o what seems like a pretty intense removal.

That being said - IF I didn't need/want full access easily & regularly to an empty bed, this would be the cover I'd get.

This removes in about a minute. I’ve done it’s hard to imagine it being any easier.

Direct from their website:
“The RidgeLander removes in minutes. Simply unscrew the spindle from the bracket and lift the cover off.

Yeah seems like its easier than I would've thought, but doesn't really solve the other problem of where ya gonna put it if you need to remove it to throw some bulky stuff in there unexpectedly?

Or - what I did when I had my tri-fold: go on a weekend ATV/camping excursion, know it may rain + wanna keep gear secure & still have room for 2 guys & a doberman, I'd take the trifold off, stand it up lengthwise secured against the side of the bed w/ some bungee cords & drive ATV into bed towing 2 more ATVs in trailer that wouldn't be suitable to hold the tonneu - when we get where we going take ATV out put cover back on & now can throw crap in bed without it getting wet or stolen.

I'm not knocking it at all - just explaining why it wouldn't make sense for some guys depending how you use the truck.

I do appreciate the overall utility of it though, & thanks for sharing - there are SOOOOO Many options for tonneau covers its kinda nuts!
