    That's a scorchin' deal, except for the fact that it was missing a spring. Is the one you put in still intact after the incident?

    My Roll N Lock Locking Tonneau Cover is without a doubt my best investment. I actually work my in my Taco for a living and travel all throughout the South, Midwest and Mid East and needed something that could protect my valuables whenever I stopped for bunk or grub. Since it actually locks my tailgate, I can stow all my climbing gear and tools and supplies with no worries. In combination with my Thule roof racks and extend a bed hitch mount, I can also bring my 30 and 18 foot ladders along with NO WORRIES!!!

    My Old Rigs were;
    #1 A 2004 Ford Econoline Van. Gasoline was almost $800 MORE PER MONTH.
    #2 A 2006 Ford F 150 Crew. Gasoline was $500 MORE PER MONTH, and it handled SUPER WIMPY with the overhead gear mounted on a KargoMaster II truck rack.

    I used to be a Ford Truck guy and it was always Beamer or Benz for my cars. Went for a Lexus in GS in 07 and ever since I have been hooked!

    What can I say except...Toyota ROCKS!!!!
