I have the opportunity to get a sweet deal and I mean sweet deal on one of these. Can my Tonneau cover still be used with this on my truck. Couldn't get a positive answer from them, so anybody got any insight on this.

 

Buy it and find out if you're getting such a sweet deal you can always sale to someone else

 

Get a measurement from seller or buy and see.


Looks like that hinge may not have enough clearance.

Does it replace the tailgate? I highly doubt your tonneau will seal on the top bar if so, let alone the rest of the dead space being wide open into your bed.

I don't see how it would work if it wasn't a tailgate replacement, looks like it occupies the same space the tailgate would. If so, tonneau would be useless.

 

How much is sweet deal can you buy and sell to me I love it!

 

I'll take it if you don't want it. I was going to build my own...

 

Personally, I wouldn't think so. I have a tire gate on my truck, and I think that the release pin would get in the way and not allow the tonneau cover to function properly. Just ditch the tonneau cover.

 

It replaces the tailgate completely let me get you a pic of it on a live truck stand by.

 

I didn't know it was on a dead truck

 

I only use the the cover in the winter over here as to not carry around a full bed of snow all winter.

 

Good one

 

Your tonneau is designed to seal on the tailgate.

Not a piece of square tubing.

And again, what good is a tonneau when your tire gate doesn't cover the bed? 30% of that tire gate is open space, so it's not going to keep your bed dry or clean, or its contents safe.

No way it'll work with a tonneau based on installed pics, and it's still rendering a tonneau as useful as a tarp would be.

This one your talking about

 

Damn your too fast

 

@Unchained 5150 I don't think it would fit with your tonneau. Just looking at the profile of the top tube on the carrier more closely it sits a lot higher than the stock tailgate so it wouldn't seal. Thats aside from the quick release pins. Bummer. That thing would look sick on your truck...

 

Since you're just using it to keep snow out of the bed, another approach may be to sell your existing toneau (I'm assuming it's a hard-style cover) and get a soft cover. It might provide some flexibility in back in case of interference.

 

Looks like the red pin is offset back a little making it so the Tonneau could still be locked flat. I am not concerned with the seal as I only use it to cover up my 2 Rotopax containers, HiLift jack and extra full size TRD Beadlock spaire

 

I have a Tri Fold type cover

 

It might be able to work would be a toght fit. I like that soft topper idea best of both worlds?
