Help! Need Cheap, Locally Installed Tonneau For Trip In 2 Days (ho

lacv75 · December 22, 2009

Heading pretty much says it all...

Will take the truck out on a road trip over the long holiday weekend and need a locally installed tonneau that I can have on by Wednesday 23rd...

Any recommendations on brands that are economical and decent? Not looking for the long run here (though if worth it, may consider)...I just don't want our luggage to get all wet in the snow and rain...

I live in Houston, TX (North Side) and will appreciate any recommendations!

(09 Chevy Silverado LT Crew Cab)

Thanks to y'all and Happy Holidays!

Can't go wrong with Extang. Good quality product and in most cases reasonable price

I have the extang full tilt and really like it.

The Extang is great and you can easily install it yourself.

Thanks guys! Which Extang would you recommend?

I'm thinking soft cover as I don't like the big piece of plastic over the bed...$300 or so? Should I shell out more?

I know you were asking about tonneau covers, but you also stated you will, "appreciate any recommendations," so mine would be a tarp, actually two. I've travel between NH and MI for school about 4 times a year. If I know there will be poor weather conditions I typically put one tarp in the bed and organize my junk on top of it. I then put another tarp over everything. This keeps the luggage all nice and dry (I had it sit like that when it was pouring rain all night once). I even upgraded by adding a cargo net to help keep the top tarp down and flapping around. This is a good temporary solution, and relatively inexpensive. If you want the security and comfort of your belongings to keep others locked out, and don't mind spending the money I would def. get a tonneau. You seem unsure about keeping it long term so I would give this a ponder.
