    Chrome don't get you home
    Its made out of ABS plastic, they say you can fit a football team on it and it wont sag? I remember the ABS tool boxes that came out in the 90s and they all sagged when the hot sun got to them and had tools in it for weight?

    Anybody own one of undercovers solid covers? I like the weight of them. not sure about the sag and lockability? anybody

    How did it wear in the Hot sun? did it sag at all, was it the solid not foldable undercover tonneau cover? How did it seem to lock, dependable or crappy tonneau cover, did it keep water out?

    Had one of those. Nice covers but it was too limiting in functionality.

    Normally I like open truck beds...they just look right to me.

    I've had a few trucks. I've done soft tonneaus, soft toppers (the Bestop), and hard toppers. I've never done a hard tonneau, and don't think I ever will.

    For my Taco, I went with a hard topper. I think it looks good, and because I'll be doing a LOT of traveling next spring (definitely lots of traveling) and potentially traveling a lot over the next few years, a hard topper just made sense. Lockable, good weather protection, lots of storage space, and I can sleep back there if I need to.

    Here's mine:

    I voted naked at the time. Now I have a baby. So I bought the Extang trifecta toneau cover. It makes it a lot easier with all the baby gear we have to haul when we travel. I love the cover, but I still think I like it naked.

    I put a hard cover on mine.It does cut down on visablity out of the inside rear mirror.{Ranch cover}.Does seam to make it rise a little softer,can't tell if it helps fuel milage any;of course it might be realy bad if I didn't have it.

    Tough one! Thats a freaking sweet looking truck both ways. I like the rag-top better though, just my 0.02. Looks like your ready for safari or sumpin...

    I just a few minutes ago decided not to get one for my truck though so go figure! :crazy:

    Had a softtopper for over a year and loved it but this past week I switched to an ARE camper. Gotta say so far I am loving the hard top. I still own the softtopper but may sale it soon. Haven't really decided yet.
