I have a Bakflip MX4 for sale. New. One problem, the rods that hold it fully open are too long.  If you don't plan to open it or can fix it, this is the top for you at a big discount. Let's say $700 plus shipping.

I've had my Fold-a-cover installed for a few weeks now and wanted to report back. I opted for the tool caddy as well. All in with tax/shipping it was about $1,400.

Coming from a Chevy Avalanche, this combination works really well for me. Having the tool caddy allows me to store and Lock items away and still have the other three panels folded to carry larger items.

The tool caddy also sits about four to five in off the bed floor, so longer items can utilize the full bed length.

Thus far the system has been watertight through several torrential downpours.

I've found this forum to be very informative.  I've been a lurker and not much of a poster.  I'd post this in another section, but I don't have enough posts.  I'm parting with my 16 slt crew short bed and thus have a Retrax Pro mx up for sale if anyone's interested.  I live on long island, ny and the truck is being traded in two weeks.  I'm going to be sad, but I can't have more than one large auto payment and it's the wife's turn to get something new.  $1200 neg.

I installed a rollbak cover back in February. 

 

Tbe cover is overall made of ok materials. The can inside the bed is wavy and not the best but it can’t be seen.  The actual rolling/top cover is very nice and held up well in a hail storm that golf balled the rest of my truck. So kudos for toughness. 

 

As many of the reviews I read online, my cover has started to roll up by itself anytime I hit a bump. It used to just be major pot holes but now it’s rolling up so frequently I have to tie off the pull strap to keep it closed. 

 

Great idea and I love the versatility but I’d go with a roll n lock next time if I were ever to need to buy another cover.

Agricover has great customer service for the Lomax.  I had one of the very first Lomax covers when they were introduces in Sept of 2016.  It had some issues with leaks.  Also had minor issues when folding back down to cover the bed where the latch jammed.  Plus the liner was coming apart.  I called Agricover recently.  They sent me another Lomax cover.  Here are some of the improvements I noticed.

 

- No More Leaks except for very small streaks

- The latch was redesigned and closing the cover is much much better.

- Redesigned brace that holds the cover in position when folded.  Much better design

- Has safety retention hook straps in the event the cover is folded and comes loose while driving

 

I can safely say I really like the Lomax now, especially since the leaking issue has improved so drastically.

I hope you got the Rollbak cheap, it's been discontinued for a while now.

I paid $700 or so for it. Given it’s faults and the price I have no real complaints.  If I remember correctly everything I was looking at was around $1200 maybe?

Here is a quick pic of my new Snuglid SL. Remote unlock, carpet and led 12v lighting.e4a7696bb802f553972e176bc5ebfc05.jpg15e0b0654fc7d3cefb70dfe973421de3.jpg

How much did that cost?

Retail is about $1800 painted and installed with remote unlock. I'm a dealer, so I got it for much less than that.

I recently installed my Lomax, and I'm very pleased so far!  Summary:

 

Customer service: 1 of the rails had a slight scratch in it, I called them, and they sent me 2 ENTIRE rail assemblies! 

Install: very easy. I'm used to having to tweak a cover's rails, etc to get them to work properly initially, but this one latched perfectly the first time.

Look: very low profile, super slick looking.  The powder-coated (?) aluminum panels might scratch, but no issues so far.

Folding: unlatch works easily, and panels fold easily too.  Latching the fully folded group to the front works ok, but could be improved a bit.

               I do wish I could "hinge" the folded group of panels up vertically like the BakFlip, but that would prob change their design too drastically.

Weight: I have a full 6.5' bed, so when I remove the Lomax it's a bit heavy/awkward to handle alone, but I don't fully remove it often so no big issue.

Leaks: no leaks yet, but only a couple average rain storms so far.

Cost: affordable, all things considered.  $715 delivered   (TruckAlterations.com)

    • Well one of our most reliable vehicles was sold yesterday. The first and only I gave for free to a grandkid. If they got skin in the game they take care of it. My wife bought new. Five years later my daughter got it to use. We got it back and gave it to our grandson after graduation. He did zero maintenance just oil changes. When the AC quit he drove his mother’s car rather than get it fixed. Instead he just bought a beater and sold the Elantra. 
    • I usually do as well or better than the sticker for mileage. Usually better going west than east. North then South. Wind makes a difference. I’m not usually a conspiracy theorist. But it did dawn on me I’m going by the vehicle calculation. Now that would be interesting.

    • 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.
