***Diamondback Truck Bed Covers - Group Buy - Round 2***CLOSED

Received today, went on pretty easily. Very happy with quality. I'm going to make a couple fine adjustments and it will be ready to rock-n-roll!

Special thanks again to @zachgara4

 

Nice! Any thoughts about painting the silver hardware? Hoping mine comes next week.

 

Very nice! I hope that means that mine is coming soon! Out of curiosity, what fine adjustments are you making? Just wondering if we should be aware of something that may help the rest of us? Thanks!

 

Haven't gave much thought yet. They appear to be good quality material and well polished.

Just simple adjustments for screw ends so make sure the handles are fully aligned when panel is shut. It required loosening them to almost the point where they are backed out completely with someone else aligning the handle manually, then tightening the screw ends in place. Also adding additional weather stripping.

 

I haven't received the shipping company's call yet but looking foreword to it

 

Looks great! Let me know if you need anything else. If you haven't received shipping information and would like an update you can PM me and I will follow up with Diamondback for your tracking information.

 

First good downpour.

100% dry. No additional weatherstripping installed either.

 

Bummed i missed this gb but was a little worried about waterproofing since it doesn't fully cover bed rails. Glad to know it stays dry! If it comes with the front aluminum storage box like in the video would it be possible to give me a rough measurement from bottom of storage box to top of wheel well? Looks like roughly 2" since I have a bed box not sure if itd work

 

Accessories are extra I am afraid. Dimensions may be available on manufacturer's website.

No worries about waterproofing. We got a good 5 inches of rain this past week. There wasn't a single drop of water inside other than when I opened it.

The cab panel doesn't lock shut as easily as my tailgate panel but I'm sure it's just a matter of break in period and a little more adjusting. There is a little resistance with the lock bars on the underside of bed rail for the cab panel. I think this is due to not having fabricated pieces for the bedrail extension (since those ones flare slightly) like the tailgate panel does thus making slight contact with OEM bed rail.

 

Christmas in July? Yessir! I couldn't be happier, although I do have one MAJOR issue that I'm going to have to work on...

My decals are now partially covered up by the Diamondback Cover. The struggle is real I tell you!

 

I wanted to ask everyone putting this on a 16' or 17'. Did you wind up using the roll of rubber seal that they provided? I know on the 2nd gens the bar along the cab sits lower than the side bed rails. On mine, it actually sits just about level, so I didn't need it. Love this thing though. Worth every penny! Bone dry too.

 

THAT is one sharp looking truck!

Glad to see others starting to receive and install as I had been getting anxious with no recent replies on this thread! I have a decal hidden as well but I wanted it that way since it's very small.

Does anyone have issues with cab panel closing shut? My tailgate panel closes fine, but with cab panel I have to put noticeable downforce in order for the handle to turn.

 

Thank you! I adjusted the rod connections so that they keep the two sides very tight to the bed rails. I’m doing this in hopes it will break in the seals a good bit. I didn’t like that once you tighten down the center panel, the two end panels sit up a bit more. So yeah, for mine especially it takes some force to get both sides closed. I’ll probably loosen them up a little bit at some point when the seals are broken in.

 

Looks very nice! Mine is waiting at the shipment facility since I couldn't coordinate being home to accept the delivery until this Friday. I don't know what's worse....waiting for the Diamondback cover to get shipped in the first place, or waiting almost a week knowing that it's just sitting at the shipping facility!

 

Just wondering... if anyone else received their freight this way?
The box was damaged on the other side and the tonneau cover almost wore out the bottom part of the cardboard. But I haven't found any damages so far.

 

Mine came via truck with lift gate, also identical packaging with pallet.

When you say bottom, do you mean the bottom where the drivers dolly is touching or where the pallet is?

Make the freight driver stay until you inspect. Mine did. Probably happened during logistics. I also had no box damage and it was wrapped immaculately.

 

Just finished installing mine right after it got delivered. Lol, 100degree weather didn't stop me!

 

These look good on any truck, but especially the off road and pro's with all the extra black, these look sick! Loving mine!

 

Mine was delivered the same way. Was a little nervous at how much bigger the box was than the contents inside but no damage whatsoever.

 

@verynearlypure, did you do anything to address the small gaps in the corners of the bed? There's a very small gap in each corner where the side of the bed meets the front and tailgate. Did your bed stay dry even with these gaps present?
