    I'm also looking at covers for my '09 DCSB. I have been doing some research and found that I like the G4 Elite by fold a cover and the Bakflip G2. I like the lock that comes on the G4 elite along with it being able to independently fold up at the front. The Bakflip G2 however fits flush at the top of the bed. My main concern is that due to toyota not putting locks on the tailgate it is easy to expose the bed covers making it vulnerable to theft. The G4 elite actually bolts in with a couple of bolts, but if it is actually locked it seems to be a whole heck of a lot harder to steal it. Where as the G2 is only locked down with wing nuts making it a whole lot easier to be stolen. If I end up with a Bakflip G2 I will most certainly swap the wing nuts for an actual nut making it a tiny bit harder to steal but not much. In my opinion the Bakflip G2 looks way better, but the Fold a cover G4 is harder to nab.

    Here's a link to a Fold a cover review of the differences between the fold a cover G4 and the Bacflip G2. Just remember this video is a little biased.

    I have the Fold-a-Cover G4 Elite on my DCLB and love it. Couple more pics in my build thread. Also, I have the Pop & Lock mod to keep the tailgate locked and opens with my door locks.

    Fold a cover allows the use of the OEM side bed cleats since it sits higher. It's the one I'm ordering next month.

    I installed the G4 Elite a couple of weeks ago on my 2014 Tacoma, very nice also did the pop a lock. Works great. Had a Fold a cover on my 2000 tundra for 13 years, never had an issue. great product, worth every cent
