Finally got a cover!!

Purchased an American Roll Cover from Truck Covers USA. Haven't seen too many people with them on here. Installed it today (bit of a PITA but definitely worth it) and it took about three hours start to finish. That was with some double-checking of the manual. Had a roommate help for some of it. Everything used for the cover is high quality material and seems very durable. Definitely glad I picked this baby up.

Took her through the touchless car wash to get an idea of how waterproof it is. I didn't install the optional weather stripping and when I retracted the cover I didn't see a drop of water on the inside. Guess we installed it right.




Highly recommended if you're looking for a retractable cover!

Thank you all very much for the compliments! I mainly got it for the functionality of storing everything without fear of theft, but the looks are growing on me.

i like it, i just don't like the giant lip at the back, which i'm guessing is for a hand grip? everything else is nice, i guess i'm just partial to the bakflip.

Yeah I was worried about how that and the side rails would look. Wasn't sure if I'd like how they were raised up a little bit. It's not bad at all, though. Flows much better in person. Thanks again for the compliments, guys.
