    I was just thinking with a cover like yours it doesn't look hard to put on and take from the pictures you posted, It looks like there is 4 brackets that go into the bed rails that would have to be removed to take it off, Plus I can find space in my garage for this type of cover when not in use .

    Both methods I guess, It's very easy to fold. It fold 's three times. But its also very easy to take off the truck completley. I haul my atv alot and very impressed with the cover. I wouldn't leave the cover on when hauling the quad because Im sure it will get damaged. I can take it off the truck in under 1 minute and put it back on about the same time. It's also very light, easy to store, and looks great. The brackets stay in the bedrail. You just unscrew the part near the cab (pic1 I posted earlier), and lift the spring loaded claps up which are near the tailgate. (pic 2)


    I bought it at Action Truck accessories for under $500 cdn. Very fair price. It has a lifetime warranty on the frame and a ten year warranty on the trap.

    That's a awesome truck you have. Did you have to put that foam on the bed rail before you put the top on ?

    Here is a pic of my 09 TRD Sport 4x4 with a Extang Tri-Fold. I just put a Pop&Lock on the tailgate so now I have a locking bed.

    Heres a pic of my truck with my Advantage Accessories tri-fold hardcover tonneau. It installs much easier than the Extang, no extra hardware required. Maybe 3-4 minutes for the initial install, from there out its only a minute to put it on, maybe 20 seconds to pull it off. Easy as pie. It uses the factory bedrails to clamp to. You can still use the rest of the railing too.

    I have the Access Roll up, love it.

    You can roll it up in less than a minute, no problem

    Nice...

    I am looking to get the same cover for my truck. You have no issues with the bed rails, right? Not sure how the cover will attach to the truck without drilling.

    May I ask where you got it for that price?

    I have the same one... You can still use the bed rails with it. It connects through the existing bed rail holes. To install it you have to remove the bed rails and then remount them over the side pieces of the cover. It's easy to install, but I ended up stripping one of the bed rail bolts, those things were TIGHT. Also, it's very difficult to get attachments into the front bed rail once the cover is installed, but I really only use the side rails and d-rings anyway so it doesn't bother me.

    Access L/E roll up... love it. Keeps stuff out of sight, yet it rolls out of the way in a few seconds.

    I had an extang solid fold cover - it spent more time off the truck than on. Then had to worry about where to store it. Not to mention if I was out and bought something, then had to worry about the cover getting home safely.

    Access Roll-Up, but it came with the truck. Simple to use and looks good.

    Love the Access Roll Up Cover for hauling my dirt bike.
    A side question for the roll up cover guys-- what are folks using to preserve the materiel from the elements?
    I notice the manufactures warn against silicone products like Armour All. Do you have to buy a product specifically for Tonneau covers or are there products that multi-task?
