    I'm looking into getting a roll up tonneau cover and wondering what everyone has to say about this. A low profile is a must but don't want those tri folds out there or anything hanging above the bottom half of the window when i have it rolled up either . please post pics if you have them.

    Bak Roll-X for sure. Does not take up any bed space, fully locks down both rails, use of your whole bed space, does not shake or rattle when closed or open and does not block your rear view when rolled open. I own one on my 09 LB. I had a Roll and Lock type sliding bed cover, its cool at first then you start seeing its flaws, takes up bed space even in our LB, it rattles when closed or open and its easy to scratch. If you do any type of wheeling forget getting any type of sliding bed cover, all you hear is the rattling. And forget any bed covers that folds or tilts, they just block your view, can't fully lock them and not practical for off roading since they do not lock down the whole length of both side rails.

    Ive got the Truxedo Truxport Tonneau Soft Cover.
    It fits well and has a low profile.

    I'm really starting to like these, http://diamondbackcovers.com/


    I am in the market for a tonneau also but would like some security too. And these are lockable and you can even carry a load on top !!

    Wow, finally a folding tonno cover that is priced accordingly. Some of the other ones I can buy a 16' aluminum boat for the same money. There really isn't much to these things. I'm ordering this one!

    Unless they fixed their design, these Tonno Pro covers don't work well on Tacomas. I was tossing around the idea of buying one because you can't beat the price, but after a little research on Tacoma World I changed my mind. If you look at your tailgate, the top edge of it is about 1/2" lower than the bed sides, same for the front edge up near the cab... Most tonneau covers use a thicker gasket in these two spots to seal them up nicely, but Tonno Pro does not (or at least did not), thus leaving a large gap front and rear...

    My Tonno Pro came with a thick weather strip/gasket on the front and back and sits right on the bed top behind the window with no gap. Had it through the car wash after a heavy rain storm and no water! I was surprised too because I've read the forum talk and was ready to add the mod from this site. Never had too though.

    Looks like Tonno Pro might have fixed the problem. I'll take a picture.

    I ordered the TonnoPro LoRoll from realtruck.com a few weeks ago and I am happy with it. It uses brackets (3 per side) to bolt into the cargo hook rails in the bed and rolls up and ties down out of the way. Quality seems good and their customer service quickly replaced a part that was damaged in shipping no questions asked.

    There are rubber flaps on the sides to cover the bed and it stood up well to the recent rain storm. I have not yet installed the extra foam/rubber pads that came with it either.

    My only gripe is that one it's installed, you will have to take off the bolts if you want to adjust the locations of your cargo tie-downs in the sliding rails. The bolt in the middle gets in the way otherwise.
