tonneau cover

jimcav · 08-11-2005, 05:44 PM

I am looking for a inexspensive cover something around $200. I do have the utili track in the back. Can some one let me know a vendor and a part number possible.

Thanks jimcav

I think for $200 your best of either building yourself (I wouldn't) or keeping an eye on the buy/sell forum.

Extang tonneau covers from www.TruckMod.com or www.JCWhitney.com. They have a couple different models with different features for that price range ($150-$200). However everybody on this board likes the $335 Truxedo Lo-Pro which I just ordered today.

I bought the Extang Black Max tonneau from http://www.autoanything.com/ 2 weeks ago for $171 with free shipping.

Looks like the price is $187 now, but still under $200.

I had the same tonneau on my Chevy for 4 years and never had any issues with it. Seems pretty decent for the price.

I sprang the $337 shipped price from Truckmod.com for the Truxedo Lo-Profile. I couldn't be happier. Went on real easy and rolls up nice. Also, keeps out a good deal of water when it rains. Can't beat the lifetime warranty either...

Has anyone tried the Nissan roll up cover yet? I was thinking about getting one of those. What I want is one that will go on and come off easily. It will only be on the truck when I want to cover something in the bed.

The Nissan one uses a zipper system making it very convenient to open and close for throwing small things in.

However if you do a search on this board you will find tens of threads about how it is junk. It does not keep water out, it sags when it rains, the zippers rip off, the material frays... just about everything that could go wrong with the cover, does.

If you have the Utili-trak option, your choices are minimal at best.

I am looking at getting a bed cover for my truck, and have been looking at the diamondback bed cover ( http://www.diamondbackcovers.com/products_tc.asp ). I am not planning on putting a four-wheeler on it, but do like the idea of being able to place heavy items on top. I bought a truck to carry items that would not fit in my wife's minivan. I am also in the Service, and frequent moves are a part of life, so being able to pack items on top of the cover would be a benefit. Does anyone have this cover, and if so do they like it? Does anyone have any other thoughts on the type of cover that would help fit my needs/ wants? I was thinking about getting the Highback cab protector, and placing some additional lighting on it as well. Then I was thinking about getting the whole thing Line-X'd.
Thanks in advance for the input.

For that price, it's going to have to be used. Nothing new is out there on the market for that price. Check E-bay or keep searching the forum.
