Thumbs down

I have the tonneau and don't like it. The tonneau is fine, actually very good. It's the hardware that I don't like. It was difficult to install without using vice grips to get them to snap together and the rear bow rail had to be cut to fit. On a flareside the rear of the bed is narrower. You would think they would know that.
You can't install the mounting clamps where they suggest on a flareside because there are obstructions under the bed rail.

thats true, its difficult to install. you have to move them, and I'm only using 5 of the 6 grips. and the rails that go across to keep the rain off didn't fit right, and I could only fit 2. i plan on switching it out for a hard cover.

I don't know why you guys had so much trouble with the install. I did mine in 30 minutes ....... No problem with the snaps or the bows at all....... And my Ranger is a flareside too....

Perhaps they got it right with the Ranger!
Again, I found nothing wrong with the materials. I would say the engineering is the problem.

I'm thinking of going with a full cap but they always seem to look stupid on flaresides.

I'll let you know in a couple days how their nerf bars and tonneau fits my '99 SC Lariat. I decided to give thema try since their prices are good.
