My Lo Pro QT just arrived today... hoping to be able to get it installed this weekend. A big part of my decision was the number of recommendations it got in this thread!

I just got mine installed yesterday. Seems built well. I have no info on how well it will seal out moisture yet but it should do a fair job.

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

So I got the Lo Pro QT installed today, and I think I'm going to be very happy with it. I had an Extang Revolution on my previous truck, which I liked, because it does not use velcro at the sides, and held down tightly. However, it was a difficult to lock down (yes I adjusted the tension several times), and it required two latches to be released before you could roll it back. Doesn't seem like much, but it became a pain. I also had some leakage issues with it.

 

This one seems to be much better on the sealing issue. The front seal seems very solid to me. Very little light showing through when I crawled under the closed cover, so I feel confident I won't have much if any water leakage there. The rear looks like it seals more securely as well. I'll add an update once I get a chance to test it further.

 

Here it is installed:

I'm looking at this bed cover for my truck for the added mpg gain as well as keeping stuff dry in florida rain. How is the cover or one similar at highway speed? Does it flap or make any unwanted noises? If I braced it through the middle with a shower rod or storage rod would that help?

I'm pretty sure unless it's fully supported underneath it will flap under wind load.

Is the teuXedo better quality and not flap? What do most people do to stop flapping?

Something along these lines. I don't know if the low ones make the difficult to support. Any tips I would appreciate

To anyone with a Roll N Lock cover.....I'm just wondering does this cover move at all (or flap) on the interstate ?

I'm worried with a regular cab if it did I'd be able to hear it in the truck.

Probably going with the Roll N Lock A series metal cover.....I want one that will retract and one that will not cover the Chevrolet on the top of the bedside....doesn't look like I have many options.

Thanks for the help and any ideas !

You should practice what you preach.

 

All I know is everyone that has seen my DB cover could not believe how heavy duty it is. "Look at those heavy duty hinges", "that cover will last for ever". When I tell people it can hold 1600lbs on top they say "I believe just by looking at it".

I'd recommend going back through this thread and asking members who have similar covers or the same cover. I've only had 1 vinyl cover and it flapped. That (and security) deterred me from buying another.

The SE model holds 400 lbs. The HD holds 1,600 lbs. According to DB's website, the HD (.100" thickness) would be 25% thicker than the SE (.080" thickness) which is rather significant. I'm not up to date on the current prices of a SE or HD covers, so what do they cost?

 

 

 

I like the RollNLock A-Series. It's the only cover that I've found with four locking points. The TruckCoversUSA looks pretty nice, it's rated at 500 lbs distributed weight, but I personally have never loaded anything on top of a tonneau cover.

 

EDIT for further explanation: The RollNLock's single lock has four locking points. The DB has two locks that have two locking points each.

Both of those covers cost more than the SE (SE carries 400lbs cost $1199, HD carries 1600lbs cost $1599). A quick search shows me that roll n lock a series cost around $1500-1600 and tcusa around $1600-1700. so they would both be better suited being compared to the DB HD (1600lbs) due to pricing. The roll n lock according to their website will be damaged with only 120lbs on top of it. I believe DB covers could be considered having 4 locking points. Since there is a lock rod in each corner of the bed that pivots under the bed rails. As well as 4 clamps on the center panel.

Hey how much of the bed is not usable with the GM cover?? Had the bakflip on my Dodge and loved the use of the whole bed?

Anybody running the Truxedo Titanium? I've got the Tonnopro Hardfold now, it's a great cover in most aspects but, the latch system is cumbersome and I've had to remove it a few times in the last few months to haul larger loads so, I'm looking at hard roll ups, BAK's customer service and reputation are enough to steer me away from their products. Honestly I could probably get by with a lo-pro but, I like the hard cover aspect.

 

Thanks!

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w
