Who has Tonneau covers on their Taco?

I wonder why... Maybe too much weight for the wimpy four? I will definitely take your advice and research it a bit more, since it will also make me driving it all the more fun.

 

Cool, if you muiltiply that by... let's say 200,000 miles which should be easy, That is a TON of savings, perhaps I should look into one.

 

Cool, what kind do you have ?

 

I have an extang but it does not seal near the cab. Kinda pees me off. I have to see what i can do about this.

 

Well noted !

 

Here are some pics of my new tonneau cover...

 

that does sit up a tad higher than mine doesnt it?

looks good man

Access covers FTW

 

I had one made by a local Co., FMG.

 

Hey Mark, I just put the 5100's on the front of the truck with a 1.75 lift. The tires now seem REALLY small (stock 245's).

What size are you wearing in the pics?

 

I just ordered a BAK Flip have a buddie who haves one looks sharp with the low profile wil post pics once i get it in. So now i have a cover, bull bar, nerf bars and new badges all in the mail cant wait to put it all on

 

I have the ARE LSII on my truck. I like it a lot.

 

Yeah, it does. I like it though!

Thanks!

 

Those are 265/75R16 Firestone Destination A/Ts. They are awesome!!! They do extremely well in the rain and mud.

 

maverick491 you got any pics on how it attaches to the bed rail and eas of installation

 

I can take some, and post them up next week if you can hang on for that long. I am dog/house sitting for my parents this week and as such do not have my camera, computer or truck here, but I'll get them to you next week if that's cool.

Regards,

 

Yea cool works for me

 

Ugh... I was afraid I'd see that someone ordered one of those...

If I were you, I'd send it back while you can. Oh let me list the problems:

1. LEAKS! Never got it to stop. Seems to come in between the panels somehow so there were water marks all over the rubber mat. As such I never left anything in there over night or during the day. No amount of fixing, tweaking or sealing worked.
2. passenger side gas strut dead in less than a year. (and I wondered why it didn't lift up properly anymore. )
3. ALL rivets are STEEL so the rusted within a few weeks. Other parts are aluminum, but rivets are steel. STUPID IMO.
4. Core material was cardboard (think the crap the layer between batteries on a pallet at Sam's, Costco, etc) later replaced with foam. No idea if it's better, but doesn't give the rivets anything to bite into. (Ones on my strut mounting plates pulled out).
5. The entire, and I mean ENTIRE, thing is held together with foam tape aside from the few riveted pieces. Even the 2-piece rail system is foam taped! It could've been spot welded, riveted, or even 1 piece but no. It's 2 pieces foam taped so it flexes when you close the cover. I had to drill and rivet mine so it would close properly
6. rubber seals deteriorated in less than a year. Cracking, crumbling, buckling up, coming off. And this is only NY with 100F max temp, and it didn't drop to -30 like the year before.

 

Now, after dealing with the nightmare that was BakFlip I've replaced it with a Bestop. I loved HOW the Bakflip worked initially (full access to the bed, hard cover, blah blah blah). The quality and materials are what I hated most. But now I have a canopy that doesn't require me to take a wheel off my compressor and lay it on it's side to fit in the bed. I can just toss whatever I want in there and close the tailgate. And I can fold it down if I REALLY need extra height. Oh, and it's damn near water tight! Only a few drops here and there after several days of hard rain, and none of that from driving.




Lit up at night with my new lights.

 

sorry to hear your probleams, but my buddy has the one like you have wit no problems like you have. i know you have the generation 1 the new generation two has some upgrades like no gas shocks. I hope i dont have any issues like you have but thanks for the info

 

I really like the lights that you put in the bed. Did you ever do a write up about those?

BTW - it looks like your nerf bars never make it offroad. That looks like it hurt.
