As Promised Pics Of My Linex Truck Cover

[kiowamtp]

Well, I have had my Linex cover installed for about a week now. I am more than happy with it. The price and look are great IMHO. I need to tighten up the front as I have bed caps and the front lip has a small gap that needs to be sealed better. A mere tightening down of the front latch support should work. Another option would be to get rid of the rails (always wanted to) but was worried about what the underside looks like once the rails come off. I imagine it is only 3M tape holding that on. Disregard the date, my daughter's camera was set up incorrectly!

 

 

 

I guess my feedback for Linex will be to increase the size of their front rail seal by about 1/4" to accomodate the bed rail option. I imagine there will be a little tweaking here and there from LineX as mine is only the 52nd off the production line. However, even with the gap I only had a small bead of water in there after some last weeks storms cells moved through the area.

This is the first time I've seen the Line-X unit, about how much do they run?

Nice Cover! This design looks identical to the tonneau cover made by diamondback (diamondbackcovers.com) Is your cover made from diamond-plate or flat aluminum? Thanks for posting, enjoy your new cover!

Interesting... who manufactures those for Line-X?

Linex makes them. They still are partnered with diamondback on their covers as a top coating. Mine is not diamondback it is produced by Linex. It looks to me like they made their own cover to compete with diamondback. The main diffeence between the two that I know of is the load rating. Diamondback has 400 or 1200 pound load rated covers. I do not plan on loading a 4 wheeler or other stuff on top, so the 200 pound rating on LineX is fine for me. Plus it costs 50% less than a Diamondback. Since I own #52 off the production line I wanted to share my experience with the cover for others. I paid $799 delivered for the shortbed. I believe a long bed is only $899 delivered. Check out their website for more info.

The sheet metal is not diamond plated. It is smooth. However, the supports that are welded in are diamond plate pieces and are thicker. My guess for better support.

As a follow-up I just read through the manual and the warranty information ssays to mail or fax the sheet to diamondback covers. So it is actually made by diamondback for Line-X.
