    20180609_151539.jpg That looks pretty nice. I got an Extang Encore. The reason I chose that one is that it's the only one that I know of that opens from the front as well as the back.

    I bought a cheap vinyl tonneau. I should have saved my money and got a hard cover. Can they take any weight?

    Undercover Flex for me, I hate how most of them stick up so I went with the flush look.

    Second for the Extang Encore and for the same reason; I needed it to open from the front so I could access my tool box.

    Well I went ahead and ordered a Gator Evo Bi Fold Hard Cover. Price was good. Not as heavy duty as some but think I'll be happy with it. I was originally going to get a soft cover . Couldn't justify a vinyl cover so this is going to better I think. And it sets pretty flush which I really like.

    Interior LEDs, all weather mats, TRD performance CAI, trifold hard tonneau cover, predator pro step, accessory interior/exterior illumination package. Kicker tweeters, Kicker speakers.
    Looks exactly like my Rugged cover II, port installed option.

    So I didn't order one yet. Still have a question. I don't want any extra weather stripping on the front of the bed. Is the Extang fully sealed without any extra gaskets or seals ?? Thanks

    I think I'll wait and get the Extang Encore. It's on sale now. But might have to wait.

    Anyone know a bed rack that is compatible with these awesome tonneau covers? I’ve been thinking of going topper route but perhaps a tanneau combined with a rack...not sure if that’s even possible.

    Not to hi-jack this thread but what about a hard tonneau cover that will allow me to keep the stock bed rails on including the third one that I installed behind the cab?

    It doesn't require weather stripping on the front but I installed rubber stripping because I found that mine leaked a little bit.

    Thanks . I'm more concerned with concealment than water. A tiny bit of leakage would be acceptable. Maybe just a piece of weatherstripping on the front of the cover itself...
