How do you like the Leer? Why the 700 over the 550? I'm a little disappointed that this is maybe one of two one piece hard covers I have seen reviewed in this 65 plus page thread?

This thread was really helpful to me in deciding which cover to get....and I wanted to post back once I got my Revolver X2 installed.   It is everything I hoped it would be....just perfect !   No

I had a soft tonneau cover on mine, came with the truck when I got it. I was a pain in the neck to take on and off. I got sick and tired of that and just picked up a really nice tool box instead. Much

Is yours the 6' 6" bed? I was getting ready to order the VP, but not sure if there are fit issues, I just have the Line-X liner.

I have the 6' 6" bed with no fitment problems. I have the bedrug.

I have the 6.5' bed. Had an Undercover Flex. Damn thing leaked like a civ. Front, rear, hinges, joints between panels and frame. Everywhere.

 

Took it back, and now have an Undercover SE one piece hard cover. Not as sleek as the flush mounts, but works and looks decent enough.

 

I also have a bedrug, and it makes for a great trunk for when the wife wants to load it up with luggage, and a great truck bed when I want to load it up with 6x6 posts from Home Depot.

I just had a Retrax Pro in matte black put on my 15 Silverado Z71 CC. Nice clean look but they are expensive.

That is the 'MX' model, right? No problems with it?

Where are y'all keeping tools, jumper cables, etc.? Part of me wants a toolbox, but I think a tonneau cover might look better and be more practical.

 

Also, are y'all having issues with the tonneau covers fading over time? My truck sits outside in Florida so I am worried about fading.

I have a plastic bin with interlocking "flaps" on the top that I keep needed stuff like that in. I have a cargo bar that I use to keep it from sliding forward, and a strap to lash it in place so it doesn't slide side-to-side.

I'm going to put a swing case in mine.

Someone locally is selling a Retrax for a 2013 shortbox chevy for $250.

 

Would it be hard to make it fit a 2015?

 

I have an email to him to confirm the year and box size, but if it's the shortbox, then the 2 are the same length. Is it impossible to make it work?

According to Retax's application guide, the Retrax for the 2013 will NOT fit the 2015.

Can it be made to fit is the question.

Why don't you call Retrax and ask them to tell you "what's different"? That's going to tell you whether or not the materials, tools, and know-how are readily at your disposal to modify it.

Still shoping around for a bed cargo solution. I've notice some here have the Fold-A-Cover G4 Elite. Seems like a solid cover. Can anyone weigh in on how it's been holding up for them? Any problems?

 

Also one of my biggest concerns is security. In one of Fold-A-covers comparison videos with a bak flip cover they describe how the bak flip can be opened with a coat hanger. So I take it this is not the case with the G4. Only in some of the pictures I can see what looks like latch cords covered with rubber tubing on the rear most panel.

 

Anyone that has this cover, can the latches be operated by pulling on this cord? Or does the rubber tubing/ lock on the cover prevent this from being a problem.

 

As far as foldable tonneau covers the G4 seems to be one of the best IMO. The diamondback seems amazing, but is pricey and I'm not sure I can commit/justify spending that much.

 

Thanks for any information

Securing content under a cover was my concern as well so I hooked into the factory alarm and added a switch to the tailgate handle.

This works on the assumption that a thief will try to open the tailgate before attempting to force open the cover.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      I have an old dental chair in my shop. Something I got for free and apparently it has more than scrap value? People collect them although mine isn't restored or anything. It's visually interesting (1930's Ritter) which is why I like it. And it IS decently comfortable if you kick back.   When a good buddy of mine saw it he said, let me guess, Atlas. It's a conversation piece? As in, you ask the questions, they do the talking?   Where do you hide the jar of teeth?   I would never.

      OCI, not when but why?

      Are we talking about the same thing, though? The 7 versus 3 wear metals was from Lakespeed's 3.0-specific oil brand comparison test between AcDelco oil and Mobil ESP. The filter remains a constant so whatever excess particles the AcDelco oil is producing aren't being filtered out.   I'm assuming there's a parallel comparison to be made; IF the filter can filter down those particles, engine life increases, and your graph makes the case that a better filter (lower micron rating) can increase engine life. Introducing fewer particles AND filtering those particles with higher efficiency is the best of all worlds. Good oil, good filter.   Where we may disagree is the "baseline relative engine life". I'm more apt to believe the base engine life value is 200k+ on very average oil and filters, "bulk oil of unknown brand and white-label generic fleet-grade filter, Jiffy Lube"   Going from a 10 micron filter to a 5 micron filter should boost a base 200k to 275k in a vacuum as a single factor alone.   Here's the whatabout: How does regularly changing the oil and filter ahead of recommended schedule influence baseline engine life? Most people aren't going to science the heck out of this stuff or ask about Micron ratings, HTHS, or wear comparison tests at Jiffy Lube. Most of the Jiffy lube techs would say they need to call their tech support line to even try to get an answer.   --   Because we love anecdotes here, when I was fishing for 4.3 parts at a local yard this weekend, ALL of the 4.3 vehicles had well over 200k. I love looking at odometers of junked vehicles. How far did THIS go before landing at the crusher? The ones that still had engines weren't seized. None of them were vehicles I'd consider were Amsoil queens, in fact most of them had some kind of service cling-sticker in the corner of the windshield indicating it probably had very average maintenance services. Even the fresh parts rigs- I'm not sure taking an S/T series to 400k has much value considering the running value of those vehicles was probably somewhere around $1,000. 25+ years is a good run on time alone.   The intake manifold I salvaged had clean and bright pool areas. As expected, I found the fuel lines in the manifold rubbed through, just like mine. I'm guessing the lines on that donor truck started leaking, the truck started running rough, and its owner said that's enough I'm unwilling or can't take it out of service for several days, or spend $1000+ to repair it at a shop, it's simply time for a newer more reliable vehicle (or, more than likely, this is the 2nd, 3rd time this has happened in the truck's lifetime). While I don't count on my Blazer for reliability, the thought of giving it away for parts at certain points during my adventure, and being mentally free from its needs has has crossed my mind. I'd be losing $1500 or so, but I can only make more money; not time.
