Tonneau Thread

my cousin has an old backflip on the back of her silverado. one of the panels came off on the freeway,

luckily no one was hurt!

 

Yup... I'm just waiting for the day that this happens and it impales somebody driving their Prius down the highway...

 

Oh yea, mine is a Lund Genesis Roll-top ^^^^

 

yeah she picked it up and still uses it, no lesson learned there!

also, she cant figure out why she's blowing halfshafts and upper ball joints with her torsion bar/spacer lift.... rolling on 22s

oye, is there an emoticon for WTF?


I'll just use those 2!

 

i really like yours ghost, mines got those bowed cross members that are quite annoying

 

yeh i heard the G1 were shitty. would fall apart. I have the G2 which is the revamped one.

 

From what you've written, an Undercover probably wouldn"t be for you, but it's a nice cover nonetheless.
I didn't see one in the thread so I figured it was worth showing.

 

Yeah it works pretty well, I can still roll it up and load my bike in it. There's latches on the rear. Just drop the tailgate, pull the cables on both sides to pop the rear crossbar from the latches, and then it rolls up as far as you want it to. There are 2 bars that run across in the middle for some support, but they don't interfere with anything. I think they just prevent you from dropping something right threw the cover.

 

hows the velcro and how does it hold up in the wind? I heard velcro gets weak and breaks in the sun and i would imagine the crossmembers are there to create tension and keep the tonneau firm

 

The velcro is holding up really really well, but I won't imagine it will forever. There's actually a tensioner on the latches that you can adjust to make the bed cover tighter if needed, I haven't adjusted it yet from the facctory.

 

is there an install somewhere on a hard tonneau?

 

thats so friggin cool. I wish I would have researched some more about mine. I absolutely hate that i can't move that back bar to load tall things in the bed.

 

Here's the latch from underneath.

 

Here's a picture of my new Extang Tri-Fold. I really like it a lot. I had wanted to get the Access one that Janster has but unfortunately they've discontinued it. The Extang was recommended to me and I have to say, it wasn't hard to put on and so far has kept the bed nice and dry. I like that I can fold up part or all of it if I'm carrying something large.

 

Extang Cover. Durable and cleans up nicely for under $200 on www.AutoAnything.com. However, Let me suggest the one this Tundra's got by www.TruckCoversUSA.com. This one is expensive.
