    I did. :D I would recommend Truckalterations.com any day of the week. You won't find a better deal.

    I have the Access Literider. Luke from Truckalterations shipped it the same day I ordered and it showed up the next day. I installed it in about 45 minutes, mainly, as I had to drill a hole in one of the rails (no big deal) and I was by myself. If I had another set of hands I would have saved about 20 minutes.

    YES, you can use the OEM rail tie downs!!

    I have attached pics, first time attaching pics so forgive me if they come out like crap. Its pollen season up here in Mass. and its wicked bad right now, hence my truck and cover being covered with it.

    Good Luck.

    Ok, thought I was doing real pics in the post and not thumbnail pics...
    Dumb question, How do I make the pics come out larger in my post so you dont have to clck on them? I tried to read how but cant figure it out.

    THANKS

    Hope you don't have a pollen season like we did here (it's been done for over a month) because it was the longest I've ever seen: 6 weeks. To top it off, I was in NJ last week and the pollen is thick up there right now. 7 weeks of pollen for me, I'm done.

    Is there a comparison of fitment on these tonneau covers for our trucks? like detail pics, prices and pros/cons.

    Good choice...you WILL NOT be disappointed!

    Its nice to have a helper to install but not necessary. The helper can be a wife or child as they only need to hold the rails up while you screw it in. I did it by myself and it was not a big deal.

    There is an installation video on their website that helps make sense out of their instructions.

    Also, DO NOT turn the adjusting wheels. It should be shipped set to the size of your truck and you should not need to adjust it. Those will be used down the road when it stretches a bit and you need to tighten it up.

    I love my Access Roll Up.

    You'll have it by Monday.

    You may very well need to adjust the tarp tension. Mine was very loose.

    You had to drill a hole? Was it a defective rail? I think that's the first I've heard that. My access cover was a no drill install-which is the main reason I bought it.

    Sure you didn't have it turned around? The holes lined up on my Access Roll-Up. Truck is an 09 DCSB.

    One hole did not line up, it was faulty from factory. (tacoma bedrail hole did not match cove rail)
    I have read past posts on this and I was not the only one this has happened too, hence I didnt panic and just drilled it.
