My buddy has the undercover on his 03' Ram 1500 2WD. I've helped him remove it before and you're right, it was an easy process. As far as my truck, I'm more concerned how much of a pain it would be since it sits up so high. And then there's those few times where I'll be out in the truck and have the possible need to haul something. Currently I can just simply role up my cover if I needed to haul anything.

But again, nice find. I'd be all over it, if I could find one for $200. Oh and nice truck, she's clean and I love those OEM wheels. I have the same ones on my 02'.

Thanks! I appreciate the kind words from EVERYONE. Yep, I got this truck and it was in pretty good shape 5 years ago. I did have to put a new crate motor in it and completely reworked the front suspension, but I haven't had to touch the transmission, and right now it has 213K on it! I thought long and hard about selling it and buying something newer, but everytime I look at it, I just can't justify parting with it...

To the OP...

Make sure you check the fit up near the front of the cover. When I got mine, the very front cover of the tonneau would rub on the outside of the bed of my truck when it was opened/closed. If your's is close, you'll want to trim this a little to make sure you dont wear off the clearcoat/paint.
