Tonneau Cover

Haven't heard of any of the mentioned covers.

 

I am considering purchasing a "Pace Edwards" FullMetal Jacket JackRabbit.

CleanGene,

 

Pictures of it on your truck? How do you like it? I am also considering both of these covers. How does it do while driving, does it stay pretty tight or does it have a lot of "bounce" while driving?

 

Also, any pictures of either one that you guys can put would be appreciated.

I have the low pro installed on my truck and it fit great out of the box. It is relatively water tight not unless a downpour and then it is such minimal water that it is not even enough to notice or worry about I would recommend it good and durable had it on my truck for 3 years now and holding up and looking like brand new. Quick install and easy to take on and off in less then 5 min. to haul very large items that need all that room. Shoot me with a pm if you want some pictures. Wash and treat it with some tonneau cleaner or simple green and it shins like brand new. Good luck man with the choice.

I did a ton of research on covers and will be getting the Truxedo Lo Pro QT if I sell my Bakflip. Here's a link to a thread I started to compare the Truxedo Lo Pro, Extang Revolution and Access Lorado cover: http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/index.php?...&hl=truxedo

 

gabet95: I had the Pace Edwards on my last truck and LOVED it. I would be getting it again instead of the Truxedo.... but im trying to be a little more money conscious.

Have that same cover. Only issue was if you put stuff like ATVs or something in the bed of you truck you lose about 3 inches of space in the front and about 1 in on both sides. My ATV also rubbed a few holes in the area where the cover meets up with the front brace. If you dont really haul much then this is a moot point. But do consider you are losing a little cargo room at the rails for the big stuff. Once you get those clamps seated its not a easy on off thing either. Other than that its a great cover have been abusing it for a few years now and no troubles. Oh one more thing, the tensioners are made of a medium grade rubber/plastic. As the cover stretches and you add tension the may break. My left one broke and I had to kinda rig some stuff. Just FYI.

    • Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver. 
    • Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....  
    • 4 low is really nice on steep boat ramps. 
    • Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.  
    • Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
