New bedcover with pics

So for my birthday my wife bought me this bed cover I have had my eye on for a while. Its made from this company called Craftec. It was very resonable ($280) shipped. I ordered on Sunday night and recieved it today (wed morning). It took about 2 hours to put together but was fairly easy. The end result, I love it. It has a very low profile, the removal is so easy if you need to haul stuff. I have had many Extangs in the past and the quality of this is equal. If your interested check them out @ www.craftecinc.com. Here are the pictures:

That looks great. That's very reasonable for a soft tilt.

The link doesn't work though.. It's for a construction company.

Edit:

Craftec

How does it fit on the rails? Any leaking that you can tell?

Sweet, you have got one of those 2x4's to hold the bed up like Raptor was talking about. I've got to get me one of those so my bed doesn't fall apart.

Not quite. I put the 2X4 there so little cargo such as groceries dont slide up to the end of my bed.

Thanks for catching that. I fixed my link as well.

It fits real well on the bed rails. The cover has real nice weather stripping. Its the nice stuff that they put at the bottom of exterior home doors. So I dont see it leaking. I will keep you updated when it rains!

Awesome. I've been looking for a good inexpensive cover. All the good ones are either 400$+. The cheapies are usually 2" above the bed rails and look like dog crap.

Looks great man.. How easy is it to install and remove? Say you need to haul some big stuff?

Very easy. If you want to remove, you just pop the shocks off, stand the cover up straight, pull twords yourself, and done. Takes about 20 seconds. I like this because I had an extang saber and I hated peeling it up, removing the braces, and if it was too cold you couldnt reseal the cover on because it would shrink in the cold.

Any chance you could take a close-up of how it clamps to the front of the bed?

I know, it was a joke about something Raptor said.
