Lund Genesis roll up tonneau

hey guys, after sellin my topper im lookin at gettin a roll up tonneau cover for my 02, and all i found on the search was for the 04+'s about the lund genesis roll up. i can get one for $250, and am really thinkin about pullin the trigger, so my question is, any of you that have one on a 97-03, what do ya think of them? quality and fit good? worth the $?

What bed truck? On the 01-03 Screws, the bed is curved. I do not like the style of bed cover that mounts next to the bed rail like my AccessCover. One that clamps over the top is better for water intrusion. The Truxedo Truxport is a rolling top mount cover.

Bad for the curved bed:


Good:

Extang Full tiltTonneau cover FTW. Having the shocks and tilt capability is just plain awesome for quick and easy access to the bed. Plus, you can still role it up or even remove the whole cover\frame for those larger loads.

I have a Lund Genesis on mine. The rail clamps have a hard time hanging onto the bed rail flanges due to the tapered shape of the flanges. Other than that, it's a great cover.

My FIL has the Truxport on his 99 Supercab 6.5' bed and it's been great. It only has a latch on one side IIRC when closing, but it has held up for the 3 years he's had it. I side mounted cover works better on the straight bed rails, so I don't have any issue recommending them either. My Acces cover leaks which bothers me for a $400 cover. My $200 Extang with PITA snaps at least sealed better when I could actually get the snaps done.
