    Good for you for finding such a deal, but for OP or others, I'd just make sure to do the homework on that particular tonneau, since the advertised price of $269 + $85 shipping is pretty close to the Access Limited.

    Seller seems pretty decent, with a feedback of 5300 I'd say that's a pretty good bet that he's not jerking you around.

    Not bad.

    check out Amazon.com if you know the model you want.

    No joke, I got a good deal there.

    This is just for one I'm familiar with, but the Access Limited (the one I bought from TruckAlterations) was $492 + free shipping, which is the same price as all the other places except Truck Alterations ($385 + free shipping).

    No doubt you got a good deal at Amazon, but I'd go case-by-case and make sure Truck Alterations doesn't have the one you're interested in.

    I agree, it pays to shop around. I was just giving an example of a place to look that worked for me.
    There are a lot of variables at play.

    No guarantee he'll accept another offer of $250 shipped, otherwise why wouldn't he use that as the price?

    Great site, seem to have a really good array of tonneaus, and I would have gone with them had I not seen the deal at TA. For reference, they too had the Access Limited at $492 + free shipping, so TA's $385 was still tops.

    Looks like the price went up by $10...it is now $279, so he may not accept an offer of $250 anymore. $260 most likely...but it wouldn't hurt to try.

    He is advertising the item with free standard shipping to the US so all you have to negotiate is the price.

    I ordered mine on a Thursday and it arrived on a Tuesday. This ebay seller does not mess around.

    $260 is still pretty clutch. Are you happy with your cover?

    For those of you curious, as you already know I have the Access Limited. Here's what it looks like on the base 11's:

    I ordered the Access Limited yesterday and could not believe FEDEX pulled up the driveway today :D Anyway, it is on the truck and first try it hooked up tight and looks good, I will fine tune tomorrow. OK, so tomorrow has come and I went out to the garage to open up the cover using the latch and the passenger side broke right off. Not the entire latch but the small cutout in the plastic the strap connects to, it is not strong at all. Got a call into Luke and see what he has to say.

    Anyone else with the Access Limited manage to break the cord connector for the release arm like I did (first try)?

    Haven't. Mine felt pretty sturdy, though I did notice it's made of plastic.

    The plastic broke right off and the flimsy little metal connector on the pull cord is not bent so I know I did not cause this. Still no word from TruckAlterations today, will try them again today and if I don't hear from them its going back in the box.
