Which tonneau cover & running boards???

Debating between a lot of different ones for tonneau cover definitely want hard one either tri fold or retractable just seeing if you guys know what the best bang for the buck is with the best quality. Having a hard time finding high quality bars that are stainless steel then power coated black any thoughts or opinions?

 

For running boards the one aluminum ones are low profile and work well as a step. And powder coated black. But you have way too many options for both, you may need to me more specific about your needs

 

Something like these but honestly can’t find any website or brands that sell them do you have any links so I can look through?

 

Personal bias here, but if your going to spend $5-600 on running boards, a few hundred more will get you rock sliders. But they don't stick down as far as running boards.

Also, there's probably a lot of people selling the predator steps as takeoffs here. And they look nice.

 

Just put ionic steprails on my 20 sr5.stainless 240$. American tonneau vinyl covered w composite panels trifold 550$. Real truck.com. I would call and just tell em that their price is the same as everyone else and ask em to do better.

 

My dealer threw these "shark boards" on mine. Honestly I don't care for them. They are high enough to not worry about snagging them on terrain, but too high to function as a step. They are worse than a step, as my leg now has to clear both the ground and these boards to climb in. I haven't really cared enough to do anything about it, but if I would, I'd get a slider with a foot plate and be done with it. Nerf bars and predator steps look downright nerdy to me.







As for tonneau - if I weren't a card carrying member of the cult of Softopper (Softopper rules ) I would be looking hard at a diamondback cover. I like versatility, and the idea of something tough enough to do top-deck hauling appeals.

 

Yeah Mike that’s probably what i’m gonna do id rather spend the money and have the best of the best that would last without any problems.

 

Peragon folding and removable cover.

 

03Indigo okay now that is wonderful most of the ones I find are like a faded black / gray look that looks solid black definitely will check that out!

 

there are a ton of videos showing the install, this one is more of a review.

I got the Lomax tri-fold hard tonneau after many recommendations here on TW. Super easy install and I love it. There are a couple vendors on the board who can get you a good deal.

 

This is about the best quality hard fold tonneau for the money and looks great too...

BakFlip MX4 tri-fold bed cover with a set of KBVOODOO hi-rise crossbars. This setup is great because it allows full use of the bed cover and the ability to mount a RTT or other gear over the cover. The crossbars are easily removed by 2 bolts each. Only issue I had was KBVOODOO powdercoating... started flaking and rusting even as I received it. I had them re-coated by a local shop. Other than that, great product.

 

Armor Flex by Undercover. It's coated with Line-X bedliner. Undercover is a sister company of Bakflip.

 

For roll up look at Retrax with side roof rack mounting

 

RetraxONE XR for the win. Has the t-slot rails for racks etc. Pricey but good quality and I’m glad I went with one!

 

Wish is was available when I bought mine. I ended up getting a roll and lock. Then I added yakima tracks to each side.

 

I got the Lomax hard trifold. Chose it over the Bakflip because I didn't want to have to relocate the bed rails to install. Little less expensive too.

 

I've got the BAKFlip G2 on mine and it's awesome. It's low profile and trifold. Works great

 

The roll n lock was on my list but I got a good deal and had to pull the trigger!
