Toneau Cover
I just installed an Undercover on my SCREW. The first tank of gas was all highway driving, and I got 19 MPG. I have not had it on a real long trip yet to see if that holds up or if I did not get it real full on the refill. I do notice that my truck rids better on the highway with the taneau cover. Ir is very easy to remove if you have 2 people. I think I could do it buy my self, but it would not be easy because of the size. I do wish it had electirc locks, intigrated into my truck locks. I don't like having to unlock it at 2 corners every time I open or close it.

>Would have PM'ed you, but the admin. disabled it.
Try my e-mail instead, I know it works because I have gotten 4-6 e-mails about the Bar in the last 2 days.
>Does the bull bar have mounting holes for lights?
No, but the "cross bar" is a rectangular "c" channel and it would be nothing to make the holes and mount them properly. Unlike round tube cross bars you can reach right behind the "C" channel and place your nut, washer etc. and they will not be seen.
I personally like this option better as I can mount my lights where I want to instead of where someone else thought they should be.

Just ordered the Lorado low profile version of the Access. I've seen them in person, and they are quite nice...

Two weeks ago, in preparation for a trip to Yellowstone and points unknown, I put the remote control on the lid to facilitate getting into the back without having to use the key. That eliminated the only thing I didn't like about the SL as compared to the SnugLid I had on my 01 Screw...........the inability to close but not LOCK the lid.
I do a lot offroad driving and collect very fine dust. I put weather stripping around the tail gate and siliconed all of the unsealed bed joints. It will darn near hold water with the tail gate up. My dust collection problem is 99% eliminated and no external water leaks.

I too have the undercover and love it. Low maintance, as stated earlier no waxing or paint to worry about scratching. I have an XL with alot of black on it stock so it flows with the color scheme. At certain angles it is hard to even tell it is on there. The locks secure it easily. Easy to remove, and light wieght. My scrawny @$$ lifted it with no prblems. Also the installed 3 bulb LED light is excellent in the darkness of a zero illum night in the middle of the woods, I could see all that I wanted to, and then some.
The truck store I bought it from is the local Lenoard franchise, I got it on sale for less than 600 a few months back, and 25 for installation. I watched the guy install and I am kicking myself for not taking it home and putting it on myself.
But this is just my opinion I could be wrong.
