Tonneau Cover: How water resistant are they and what brand is best

Any covers that have an integrated rack? If not, I am going to go with a topper.

 

Wet Okole makes really nice custom neoprene seat covers for the 2016 Tacoma. I had some on my 2011 TRD Sport and loved them. They're a bit spendy but worth the $$. Check out their website: wetokole.com.

 

@sdsurfer Thanks man, I will check them out now. The place that @Scooter62 sent had a 20-30 day wait for them to be shipped out...I would like to get them in sooner than that. Thanks again

 

These are custom made so they do take about 3-4 weeks to be made and sent to you. I ordered some new ones for my 2016 and they said it would be that long. Sorry...

 

I have the Extang as well, and recently added the tailgate weatherstripping. She's waterproof now; I can pressure wash the truck and the bed is dry. There's details on my build thread (click the pic below) if you're interested. Make sure you get the cab rail seals - they help.

 

It's so new that we don't have much to go on. There are some known seal problems but they (Bak industries) are aware of it and have come up with a solution. I'd give it couple months to see what others are experiencing.

Also, there is a group buy going on right now. Don't know if it's over but last I heard it was extended.

 

@CaptAmerica Where did you get that bolt on TRD badge for the Grille? it looks great.

nice write-up by the way

 

Aliexpress - it was cheap ($5-ish), but you gotta wait three weeks for shipping. They mail it. From China.

Thanks for the kind words on the write-up. I really do love the cover, the steps, the door sill protectors, and all my little blingity blings. In a few years I might leave pavement...

 

This site looks kinda.....shady @CaptAmerica you didnt have your identity stolen from this place now did you?

 

Not by using PayPal. There is also an app. They're using the most current TLS encryption, and that's all I can reasonably hope for. They serve as a middleman for direct-sell Chinese vendors. They folks selling these same badges on eBay are getting them from here in quantity and then selling for a markup. Why not just go straight to the source?

The quality of these and my shield badges is pretty high, and none of my identity and credit alerts have been triggered (I get 12 years of theft protection because of the OPM breach).

 

@CaptAmerica you have me sold. I'm ordering mine right now. Using PayPal of course. lol.

ok one question. Have any of you found a sun shield that has TRD on it? I would like to find one before summer. I saw one when I wasnt looking for it and cant find it anymore.

 

Nope. I bought a pop-up silver one from PepBoys for $8. Gets the job done, and that's all I can hope for.

I've been looking for a Captain America one, but alas the ones I found are all Jumbo. Need a Small for the Taco.

Don't have the TRD on it but I got one of these last week and it covers the entire windshield. Well made and comes with a storage case.

 

Got a reply from Undercover on the rust issue.

Hello Everett,

I want to thank you for your interest in our product. We have not seen any on-going issue with our brackets rusting. They are powder coated, so if they do get scratched, they could get some surface rust. But like is stated before, we have not seen a big issue with any rusting. We will have the "Elite" available for the 2016 Tacoma in March. If you have any questions please let me know.



Thanks





Tony Dollarhide

@Scooter62 Glad you heard back from them. They were quite friendly when I chatted with them about my issue. Powder coated or not, everything that was metal rusted...and not just surface rust. The locks are still ok though. Check their warranty and make sure they'll cover any issues. Environment or not, hardware on mine went quick..even with regular maintenance. For an $800 plus dollar cover, it's not unreasonable to expect better. Tried to sell it for about half price but corrosion was the issue to buyers. Good luck.

 

The oem tonneau gets a lot of bad rap but I absolutely love mine! I live in Washington where it rains 8 months out of the year and I have yet to get anything more than a few drops inside my bed. maybe I am just one of the lucky few

 

@Championsumo You have me sold on it now. Man that thing doesnt stand up much at all. Thank you for taking the time to take these photos. I cant wait to order mine in now!

 

I got mine at autoanything.com, I started by doing a chat session and asking questions about it, the chat rep offered me 20% off if I ordered it while on the chat. You may want to try that route.

 

Thanks man, Payday is tomorrow. So, hopefully I will order it then. But the price of this one is unbeatable.


Also, let me get your opinions on these two. I do want something to protect the front of the truck, in the event that we have a deer run out in front of us one day. Let me know what you guys think about these two as well.
