Looks fantastic! Nice work bud... glad you got a v8 now, huh?

 

Yup. i'm enjoying the V8. Getting about the same MPGs as the V6, but I have more seating room and a newer truck.

 

That's very good... that's a good motor

 

Looks good. I like that tonneau, looks identical to an A.R.E.

 

Yeah, wouldn't be surprised if its built by ARE and rebranded by Lakeland.

Its a nice cover, covers the rails, locks, and has a bit of character to it instead of being just flat.

Is that the Avenger model? Definitely doesn't have the ARE price tag

Here's a quick question for ya. Does the cover have carpet on the inside? I just saw a thread on here about the carpet on an ARE rubbing the paint off of the bedside. Kind of disappointed me because I've always wanted an ARE tonneau.

 

It does. I saw that thread, and asked the question. The guy said: If it rubs your paint off, we'll cover it.

Also: its the Omega model.

 

Watch the posts that keep these tonneaus off the bed sides... the previous owner didn't check them on my tuck and I have two small down to metal scratches right near the top

 

Now it's time to get the pinstripe off.

 

yeah, i need to get one of those eraser wheels... i tried peeling it and i couldn't get it to come up.

 

Couple more pics of the tonneau

 

That "LakeLand" oval looks like a good place for a Ford logo!

Thanks for showing me their site, might go with them instead of ARE.

 

Sounds like time for a road trip up to Wisconsin. Not sure if they distribute to PA

The Greenbush location is where the factory is.

 

Oh, didn't know that.
