DiamondBack Covers | Modifications

Both technically, but frontrunner manufactures the parts so I would reach out to them directly, citing the diamondback collaboration. Diamondback told me they are not in stock and he does not know when they will be (as of a month ago).

 

website says end of august?

Never seen the smooth version before....nice!

 

Spotted a Diamondback brother in a first gen on the way to Big Sur. Nice build.

 

I just contacted Front Runner and he confirmed DB will have them in "a couple of weeks".

 

FYI they told me this two months ago. I ended up ordering the parts to DIY and haven’t looked back since.

 

#notifyme ..... That rack is gonna be ordered the hour its in stock

 

I know the parts are around the same (maybe even cheaper), but it requires some extra cutting to length and whatnot. Is there a guide you followed to do it, and was it easy enough to accomplish?

 

Dang, that's unfortunate. I'm really hope it's true this time around.

Same. It's gonna dictate whether this RTT is gonna happen or not lol.

 

No guide, all you have to do is cut the tracks down to the length of your DB panels (I have a long bed so I didn’t want the shorter, pre-packaged kit they’re working one) and drill a few holes in the cover to bolt it down. Just line it up good before you mark your drilling locations.

 

Oh so the only difference is the tracks are pre-cut? What did you pay for all the parts by themselves?

 

Does anyone here have a spare load bar end cap that they would like to sell ?

I lost one of mine and it didn't make sense to buy a back of 4 .

 

Are you talking about the plastic cap for the end of the trucks rail system?

 

Yes the rectangle shape cap with the front runner logo on it.

 

This is my first truck let alone a Taco, I am dead set on getting a DB SE just wonder anything to look out for or where should I buy it?

I have the access cab btw.

 

I had to cut the tracks down to size and add one counter sunk hole to each of the four lengths, as well as source four screws, washers and nylock nuts for those four holes. Other than that, installation would be the same as if it came in a kit.

I paid $511.28. Like I said, I bought longer tracks so they cost me a little more.

 

I did this too it isn't hard you just have to take your time and make sure everything is lined up nice

 

Just ordered a snomaster LP96 (has an advertised height of 18.5") and will be building my own slide using 60" slides rated for 600lbs/pair to fit it under the diamondback. If that doesn't work I'm making the bed sides taller.

 

Diamondback x Frontrunner kit was in stock yesterday finally, caught it and ordered

 

Direct from the Diamondback site is likely the best. They don't generally go on sale.
