Any tonneau covers out there for a toolbox that's in the bed of the truck or pics of you guys having any? I've seen two but they are like $400-500 so something cheaper would be nice(I have a 5'8" bed)

Way over your budget but I put on a FoldACover and worked in a BakBox underneath on a 17 Ultimate. Works great with the trimode steps.

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

Pretty straightforward install. Make sure to drop the side rail towards the cab on each side  by1/16”-1/8. If you don't you will have a small gap and won't sit flush. I had to make an adjustment. Hit me up if you have any questions.

Thanks for tip!

Install was quick with no leaks.

Really satisfied ....now lets see how durability plays out.

Here is a few pics

Looking at an Extang Trifecta 2.0. I like the soft covers. This one looks to cost a little more. Anyone have it? Advantages? Really looking for best fit and a good water seal.

I don't have the 2.0 but I have an original Trifecta.  The 2.0 is basically the same but built with updated vinyl, hinges, and seals so it should be a little better.

 

Mine has been great.  I had trouble with the first one curling up near the corners but Extang replaced it under warranty.  The replacement has been on for about 2 years now without any problems.  Just so you know -- the soft covers flap in the wind.  If you don't mind that (and the fact that somebody could cut through them if they wanted to) they are great.  Because you don't have seams at each hinge point like the hard covers they are less likely to leak (the soft ones actually have a longer warranty than the hard ones because of this).

I’m a fan of the Bakflip MX4 so far. Installed it last week and it seems to be fine for water in the rain and even does a good job with going through a car wash...6ce4a11865c0fa0e3ba2da2034666abf.jpgc6838a48ab823a166ba7d63e08d1c75e.jpg3d536c9a3ab5e9a25c14eb079151255e.jpg1242b1804ab6f0931811d7c2ad4060a9.jpg

A new Truck Gear (by LINE-X) cover which is the same exact cover as a MX4 is now available, but it has a lifetime warranty.   Bak's website shows the Bakflip MX4 has a 3-year warranty.

Do you know about the cost of them?  Same as the MX4?  Id like a hard top cover that is low profile and folds to use the entire bed and I feel like there’s only 2-3 options, all of which being out of my price range.

About what is your price range?

Ideally $500 area.  If I’ve got to spend 1k area I’d probably just go with the cheap Tonnopro LoRoll again.

I have an Undercover Flex tonneau cover and my question is: Is it the cover that's poorly designed or is the the way the tailgate fits up with the bed? I have tried several different fixes, including making the side seals longer, adding a tailgate seal and a bulkhead seal for the front bed rail without any luck. I'm attaching a couple of pictures that I took from inside the bed with the tailgate and the cover closed. You can see the daylight, and this is aggravating because I can't put anything in the bed that I don't want to get wet. Thanks.

Or anyone...

 

How hard is the Bakflip to install?  Is it easy to remove totally as 1 person, and then put back on?

 

Where is best place to order? Everywhere seems to be $930 but I see people saying they got it for the 700 range.

I was able to install it in about 40 min.

It was not hard to me, I just followed the instructions.

However, I had a hard time finding anyone to sell it below $999.

But, I found one locally and made a deal for $850 since I wasn’t going to have them install it.

I wish I could have found it for $700!!

I really like it and it’s a little heavy for one person to lift, but it’s manageable.

Well looks like I’m going with the Truck Gear hard tri-fold.  I’ll let you guys know what I think when I get it and update with some pictures.

How much is that going to run you? I filled out info on site for more info on the product and haven’t gotten a reply yet.

I had one for about 18 months. It leaked water like crazy. I sold it and bought a tonnopro hard fold that keeps my bed much drier.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      Have considered installing a DC to DC charger in your camper to replace your isolator?

      Gas fill door

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
