tonneau cover?

hey bro, if you haven't picked a cover yet , i recommend the A.R.E LS2 it looks good on tacomas, i got mine for $1080 installed check it out.

 

I got the A.R.E. cover. It comes painted to match the truck & installed for $800. Check different auto accessory shops for prices. Outstanding cover, high quality.

 

does it use the clamps to attach? any drilling involved?

 

The auto accessory store installed it.Not sure what they did to install it. The hinges are up by the cab. I was told it could be removed by disconnecting the gas shocks & lifting it up paralell with the cab. It would be a 2-3 person job. I have never removed it. Never needed to. If I have a bulky item, I use bungee cords to strap the cover down.

 

Thanks for all the info everyone, I hadn't heard of a bunch on these. My back bumber got hit the other day, so I have to put this on hold for a month or 2. But genxer36 and taco@you123, where did you guys get those? cuz they look sweet, very similar to the 700

 

Sorry to hear the bumper got hit. Bummer!

I have the A.R.E LS2(LSII) series. It is molded to match the [FONT=verdana,tahoma,arial][FONT=verdana,tahoma,arial]curvature of the truck. Good quality cover. Easy opening & raising,you can do it with one hand. I am very pleased with mine. No problems. When I bought it this was the only one available for 2nd gen Tacoma.

Their website has a place to put your zip to find a local dealer. I paid $800 back in 2005, painted & installed.

You say Bak replaced your G1 for a G2 for free! How did you accomplish this? I would really like to know because I am very dissatisfied with my G1. Please let me know. Thanks

 

I went with the Undercover also, for me I have had NO isuues and have removed it a number of times, and re-installed it with no problems.
I wrote a review on it, some time back and I am pretty sure there are reviems on others.
A quick search my help you in finding it if interested.

 

I believe it was when the G2 was initially rolled out. I also have the G1 and it has fallen apart - what a pile of shit it is.

I called BAK to try to have mine replaced about 6 months ago, and they offered me 10% off a new one. I told them to get f*cked. I wasn't going to pay for another piece of garbage. (I'm still bitter about the whole thing)

 

Undercover!

 

Thanks

Ya i tried to get mine replaced and they gave me about the same offer.

 

Darn good price, how long ago and what dealer/installer?

 

After my research, I ordered the Access Roll-up. It has the watertight seal that is missing on the cheaper LiteRider but not the dual latching system on the LE. I don't need the dual latch and I was able to get the Roll-Up for $340 from Luke at Truck Alterations. I ordered it on Friday, February 20th and it was delivered today! That is some fast turnaround!

I highly recommend dealing with Truck Alterations. He was very helpful in talking to me about the different features of each cover and helping me decide which to get. He wasn't trying to push the more expensive model and was very easy to deal with. He shipped the same day I ordered!!! Best price around (about $80 less than other dealers).

Can't wait to get home and begin the install! I'll post up some pictures once complete.

 

Veccster,

Looking forward to your pics. Need help deciding on the Access, the Limited Edition or the LiteRider.

THANKS
