    did a quick search but nothing came up, my truck doesnt fit in my garage and in this vegas heat i wanna protect the paint as much as possible sitting in the sun. Just wondering everyone opinions on the better brand of truck covers. I want one hopefully with a soft inner so it doesnt scratch constantly putting on

    Covercraft makes nice covers ( check out the ultratect series), but they aint cheap. Also its a truck bro not a lambo. You really want to put and take off a cover every day , seems like a good deal of unnecessary works? The paint will be fine if you wash and wax her.

    I've sold Covercarft for nearly 15 years at all the places I've worked. The only bad thing I can really say about them is the production times around Christmas for custom work. Outside of that, hands down, my first and only choice.

    Handy-dandy chart to match up your environment to the right cover .. http://www.covercraft.com/carcovers/car_cover_fabrics.html

    Your cover number will be C16636 + the code of your fabric choice. For the highest of the high "HD", you'll be shelling out about $550.

    No problem. Being involved in the accessory market this long, thats one thing that always has escaped me. People don't want to spend money for a quality product most of the time.

    Sorry I'm firing up an dying tread to ask you guys a question. I'd like to buy a tarp (or two if I have to) that could cover an entire DCSB with a little bit of excess all around and was if any of you fine folks already did the math and knew the best course of action for me. I appreciate any advice.

    What do you mean by 'tarp'? I know what a tarp is, but the term conjures images of a junker in the back yard you want to hide as it continues it's rotting. Or something you throw over the woodpile to help keep the top layers dry.

    What are you trying to accomplish?
