Installed an Undercover Flex a couple weeks back. Really easy install doing it by myself. It was cold out, didn't want to make the wife help if I could do it myself. I didn't install the drain tubes cause I don't like the idea of drilling in my bed to widen one of the drain holes. I think I'll do the clear vinyl tubing and 90 degree PVC elbow and go out of the tie down hole.

 

Had some pretty heavy rain these past couple days. This cover is about 97% water proof and really secure. I should be testing it out in the snow this weekend when I head up to the mountains. Overall I'm impressed with the cover and satisfied with my purchase.

Glad to see UC has made some improvements mine leaked like mad.

My Tonnopro Hardfold continues to to do a good job. It keeps the bed dry, it's easy to remove and doesn't sacrifice any bed space to get the job done. I've had the cover for about 6 or 8 months I don't remember exactly. The downsides, the clamps are kinda awkward, if you don't stow them properly before folding the cover you'll tear the vinyl top, the cover isn't the best looking cover around but it does the job.

Ordered the PowerTrax Pro MX today. $2180.00 tax and all. Yeah it's pricy but this truck is probably my last one so I bought what I wanted........I think :dunno: I don't suppose I will know for sure until after I've had it and used it for awhile. Anyway, I got tired of trying to decide and just bought it. My requirements for a cover were: being able to lock it securely as possible, and being able to haul whatever I needed to without having to remove the cover. The powered opener was just a bonus.....it does have a useful feature in that where ever you stop it, it locks there. Now will see how long it takes to get here.....I didn't pay for any shipping so it could be several weeks. Ordered it through a local business.

I wasn't really planning to buy a tonneau cover just yet but started checking out some of the items mentioned in this thread last night and found that Bak is having a sale right now and so I ordered the Roll-X today for $600 shipped. http://www.bakflip.com/p-349-roll-x-tonneau-cover.aspx I should probably buy something for my wife now. :uhoh:

Does the Roll-X have drain tubes you have to route through the bed?

 

Got my bak roll-x in this week, it's a great looking cover but it needs a better seal at the bulkhead there is a good bit of space there. I was going to get the vp but I liked the idea of rolling it up instead.

No, the way it's made everything runs off the top of the cover. It has seals all the way around.

Thank you. That's a huge relief! I hadn't even thought about the possibility of needing to route drain tubes when I ordered mine yesterday and really didn't want to deal with that.

You'll love it. I do mine, it made my truck look so much better and it stands out in a crowd now. Even though it already did being the color it is.

Finally got around to installing my diamondback cover and tool bin. Installed in about 30 mins. This cover is ridiculously solid. Everything about it is rugged and well made. You could literally have about 5 grown men jumping on this cover at the same time and it wouldn't break. Maybe even more because it holds up to 1600lbs on top of it. I wouldn't be surprised if it out lasted the truck with exceptions to maybe weather gaskets......which I must say are also pretty beefy. I've already had 2 people ask about it in parking lots.

 

It's been raining like crazy here in San Diego due to El Niño and there isn't a single drop in the bed. Exceeding my expectations.

 

I know the look isn't for everyone. Some prefer a sleek low profile look. This cover definitely isn't that. It added a bold rugged look to my truck.....that I love. I don't have one complaint yet. I'll have to see how it is loading my quad on top of it.

Hi, does the tool bin just drop? If not how is it attached.

Thanks

Yes the tool bin does just drop in. It is 13in deep so if you have long items you can slide them under the bin in the bed. Has two smaller compartments on the sides and a third larger compartment in the middle. The sides pretty much just over lap the bed rails so it hangs suspended. It's made very sturdy. Very similar to the fold-a-cover caddy as far as the way it sits in the truck. The cover clamps down on the edges of the bin as well as the lock rods pivot through the side of the bin under the bed rails. So it won't move around or anything. I like it better than a tool box bc it is out of site and the cover does a great job keeping things secured.

 

Here are some better pics I found online.

If I was still working out of my truck, this would be the cover I would buy. But you are correct, it is the wrong look for my truck. It is an impressive cover/tool box though.

Will the Amp bed extender fit under a BakFlip? I just ordered a cover tonight & was wondering. I'll find out soon enough, but I am sure someone here has already tried it?

    • What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.
    • People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.    
    • Glad you had success with it. I did as well, but about 5-6 months later it returned. Tried again, same result. This was after the dealer made several attempts and never even got it to slow down.
