I recently got the Fold-A-Cover G4 Elite along with the Personal Caddy storage unit.  I chose this setup because I could go from my old tool box to this unit, move all my toolbox stuff to the Personal Caddy, and then access it through the front access without having to flip the whole thing up to get to my tools.  I can still fold the rear of the bed up to expose as much of the bed as I had available back when the toolbox was there, but now it stays dry and secure the rest of the time.  Happy customer so far!

I bought the personal caddy too but ended up removing it after a week or so, it's been sitting in my garage since, I can't seem to be able to sell it lol

I can promise you, had I been able to locate one for sale used, I'd have been all over it.  May I ask, why did you remove it?  For my purposes, it takes up about the same room as the previous aluminum toolbox did, though it has slightly less room and sits deeper.

I needed to load something in the bed that wouldn't fit if I hadn't removed it, and I just never got around to putting it back

Installed the Bak Revolver x4 on my Slivi today.  Seems like a really nice unit, installation was pretty simple.   My only complaint was one side of the cover was not packaged correctly and the left hand seal was slightly damaged (though nothing that affects function).

Installed the bedrug liner and Undercver Ultra Flex.  Don't mind the little one and the screw drivers in the tie down anchors, he turns my bed into a fort once I installed everything.  I ened up installing the LED light strip and tool bag, I can always pull them off if I don't like them...just wanted to try them out since it was included with the cover.

If you bought your Undercover Ultra Flex on 3-1-18 or after (through 3-31-18), there's a $75 rebate.

Just got a truck after two years without one.  Not sure how I lived with out for two years.  I want to get a cover for the bed.  Have ben looking and there are

so many on the market and so many manufactures.  After ruling out some of each and deciding about what I want, the price of the remaining on the list is

more than I'm willing to pay.  I'll try to describe what I'd like and the top contenders. Would love some alternatives to research.

 

1) I don't like soft covers because most all I've seen flop or wave at higher speeds and that would drive me nuts.

2) I like folding covers that the last position doesn't block the rear window, and are easy to remove when needed.

3) Must be good with water management.  Will carry luggage often.

 

Short List:

Extang Encore

Extang Solid Fold

Fold-a-Cover G4

 

So any recommendations of alternatives to these at a better price point is greatly appreciated.

Those diamondbacks have really gone up in price since I was looking a year ago

Just ordered a Bakflip MX4.  I'll post up again once it arrives and I get it installed.  I liked the MX4 because it's 4 section.  Makes it shorter and more open bed when all but the last section is open plus it doesn't block the cargo light when all the way open.  I also looked at the x4 revolver, but I was concerned with the longevity of the vinyl on it in the Colorado sun.  At least withe MX4, I can put wax on the powder coated panels to try and keep them from fading out.  Tonneau  cover world is having a sale so the price was better right now.

What’s up everyone just wanted to throw my .02 in. I was looking for a tonneau cover for weeks. Yeah, I’m picky... I was looking for a low profile roll up tonneau cover that wouldn’t break the bank but also had the look I was after. I finally found what I wanted it’s a ProZ lo roll cover which was reasonably priced at $249 and eventually got a 15% coupon for dropping it down to $212. Much to my surprise this thing was shipped out of a Truxedo wharehouse. The same truxedo low profile tonneau was nearly $75 more.

2 years later my Extang Solid Fold 2.0 that I bought for my 6.5 foot CC is still going strong.

Cons:

The pebbly finish has turned slightly duller as I don't do anything special to protect it in the hot So Cal sun.

 Slight valleys have appeared under the front clamp locations. (They say don't over tighten to avoid this but tight enough to hold will cause it.)

Cover is not completely water tight as it gets small leaks during rare heavy downpours around the first fold area. Been this way from the start and I expect any folding cover will get leaks.

 

Pros:

Easy to remove and replace by one person.

When the cover is removed there are no rails in the way, you get full bed access.

Very light weight to open and close.

 

 

Overall I am pleased with the investment.

The quality of the cover predicts it should last a few more years.

Even with the extreme sun, heat and UV exposure we get here the rubber parts are still soft and pliable and all other components seem to be holding up well.

Coming from a solid fiberglass cover on my previous truck I am grateful not to have to ask for help to remove it,  or having to  keep the lid tilted up in the air when I needed to carry something taller than the bed sides.

Any other Tonneau covers you were considering? I am in southwest sun with occasional downpours. Looking for one that is easy to remove if i want to load my dirt bike but strong and secure if I am traveling and am storing stuff in the bed.
