Tonneau cover in greater Chicago area

Hi,

I got my Tacoma a few weeks ago and I'm looking to get a hard Tonneau cover for it. From what I can tell, a decent hard cover starts at around $600. Was hoping to keep it under $300. I scoured the secondary market, but there is slim pickins for used on Craigslist or eBay. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Yona

 

I have a Tyger T5 hard aluminum cover it was $550 new on Amazon IIRC. Strong enough to stand on. Not completely waterproof (get some seepage under the bed rails during hard rains). Anyway my ARE cap is supposed to be ready at the end of the week and I might sell the hard tri-fold (I'm in Chicago burbs). I have a long bed though. Otherwise, keep watching CL and other classifieds and find one used I have seen several from people that went from bed cover to cap...

 

Thank's. Mine is the 5ft bed. Otherwise I think the Tyger T5 would work for me. I'm up in Skokie and I hadn't had my truck for 3 days before it got hail damage.

 

That sucks, I was worried about mine but never got any hail in La Grange area..Have a garage but that's a gym/toybox so cars don't fit. Keep an eye out, easier to find for 5' than 6'.

 

I have a Lomax aluminum hard top and love it dealer is on TW and got a great deal very happy. But it was over $300 unless you can find a used one.

 

Thanks for the info. How much over $300 are we talking? Which Lomax? The trifold?

 

It’s the trifold and it was a bit over $600 as I recall but was well worth it since I live in Nebraska.

 

Hey @skildner, when I was looking for a tonneau cover I found a member selling one in the Chicagoland thread here. You might also have luckin the Midwest classified thread here.

 

I have the same cover and like it a lot too. I also happen to live near OP but am not selling it.

 

Thanks for the heads up.

 

Yeah, looks like a nice one. At $600 it's pretty good deal. I don't see them under $800 anywhere.

 

Hey, would you mind sharing dealer info? I may bite the bullet if its still around $600.

Thanks

 

I got mine from truck alterations. They're a vendor here and if you hit them up they'll give you a better price. Post 27 in thread

GotExhaust.com is where I got mine I was off $100 cost me $700 with free shipping. They are a vendor on here that’s how I got mine you can see what deals they might have going now.

 

I'm in the area and good luck finding any used Tacoma stuff, it seems to all be in California. There is a Black painted Undercover on Craigslist new from a dealer for $550. Thats a steal and I loved my Undercover I had on my GMC.

 

I saw that and would have jumped on it, but it's for a 6' bed and I have the 5'. Thanks for the heads up.
