    Hey all,

    Looking to get a tonneau cover for my 2008 Access Cab. Really wanting a nice roll-up cover that isn't too expensive, can lock, and that can also handle snow and rain without leaking. A camper shell would definitely be overkill for my needs. I don't know much about which brands are reliable for this product and was hoping you all could steer me in the right direction. Thanks in advanced!

    Awesome, thanks! I've been looking at the Truxedo lo pro, among others, and am glad to see that it's recommended!

    Just purchased the Truxedo Lo Pro QT, along with a powered tailgate lock. I can post a mini-review and pictures upon installation if anybody would like. Just let me know.

    Ended up getting the Bakflip G2 and pop n lock because 4wheelparts somehow couldn't get the Truxedo lo pro in before January. They're going to throw in a free install because of it so the G2 will be on the truck by Saturday afternoon. Again, let me know if anybody wants pictures or a mini review.

    Yeah I still have not got my check from Honda yet so I have not made up my mind 100% on what cover I'll get. Just wish TruXedo would of redesigned the side rails so the tension adjuster was back by the tailgate like their new cover the "Pro X15." I put Wheel Skins on my steel wheels and changed the look of them as to where I don't think I'll buy any used OEM alloy wheels on Ebay.

    Looks nice! Sadly they don't appear to make it for a 2008 though. I'll be sure to post about how the G2 is. Headed back home to MT for Christmas so I'm sure it'll encounter at least a foot or two of snow in the next month lol.

    Just got the Bakflip G2 and automatic Pop N' Lock installed. Overall, first impression of tonneau is that it looks great. There appears to be a spot on each side of the first panel that the waterproofing isn't touching the bed rail. I was told that the plastic will settle in a few days. Other than that, I thought I'd have more room to use the bed rail to tie things down. Is there a bracket that I can install so that I can still tie things down using the rail? Finally, the Pop N' Lock seems to work great with the key fob. The only downside that I can think of is just how loud it is. We'll see how it holds up in negative temperatures once I'm back in Montana.
