4.5 months and finally my first mod

Gas prices are a *****, took me this long to save up for my first mod. $1.12/litre but this isn't that type of thread. This is to celebrate a new addition to the truck.
A tonneau, YAY. I know, nothing all that exciting but I'm happy. I got the Truxedo Lo-Pro from the internet for $370US, they were trying to sell it locally for $640 CAD inc tax.
Installed it last night, took me an hour but that's because I'm mildly retarted and can't follow instructions well and I was so excited that I finally received it I installed it in the dark.
Also, I got to test how it handles the rain. This morning I noticed the ground and tonneau was wet so I had to look inside the bed and there wasn't a single drop .
I'm at work now but when I get home I'll take photos for you guys since I know how you love them so.

Congrats on the first mod, but be careful, it is habit forming.

Added side note to anyone who was thinking about this tonneau with the Ford drop in bed liner: I didn't have to cut a thing. Went together perfectly.

You're from British Columbia? I am trying to see the backdrop in your photos more, it looks just like the US (some parts, like...nevermind that I can't think of where, but it doesn't look too foreign)...

(foreigner's amaze me)

I seriously hope you're kidding.
If you were to take all of N. America (west to east) a squish it together you'd get B.C. Desert, mountains, dense forrest, planes...etc, etc, so technically B.C. is like EVERY part of the US.

do you mean here Kamloops, B.C. or here Canada?
Kamloops only has somewhere around 86,000 people so housing is cheaper than say Vancouver or Toronto by several 10s of thousands of dollars.
In Kamloops you could probably get 1/2 a duplex (2-3 bedroom) in the nicest part of town for 100K US.
