Welcome to the site. As for a cover (tonneau cover right?) its basically your preferance.
Do you want a roll up type? (Roll n lock)
Do you want a really low profile one? (snuglid and *******)
Do you want a spoiler? (innovations and fibernetics )
Do you want a wing? (ARE)
Do you want it to match the contours of the hood? (ARE and Leer).

Just depends on your preferances. If you want i can post all the pics of the different covers for ya. It shouldn't take me too long cuz i just did it for a friend yesterday.

good luck, post pics of your truck when ya can and build #

LEER:




some pics are on L's, other's HD's, but the companies make them for the screws and flaresides, and the design is basically the same. I hope this will help some of you guys and i didn't spend all this time for nothing.

Great work, 356. That even helps me out. I'm deciding which one to go with as well.

Thanks.

i just heard the drillless mounting system was a little hairy, so just becareful putting it on. i think outnumbered bolted it on in a few places. just a heads up

sorry, didn't see it.. :o went to the rockfest 2002 concert last night & my head still hurts.. lol (la guns, firehouse, warrant, dokken, and ratt) spent all night hanging out with the bands.. w00t!

anywho... i haven't really kept track of how long they last.. sorry
i keep putting off ordering them again because it's a PITA to put them on again for the 3rd or 4th time.. i would guess 6 - 8 months till they start to crap out.

aight thanks. Just another questions though, is that like 6-8 months with alot of use? or always on when headlights on? or just once in a while (which is all i'll probably use it for)

and o yeah, by a PITA, do you mean just the hassle of having to change it, or is it really a PITA to do it.

thanks for the help

so do you think it would be worth it for me to get one for occasional night cruising? or just too much hassle? thanks
