Looks nice on a white truck. Love that toolbox too.

That was kind of a must have for me. With grandkids, we have 2 car seats all the time, so under seat storage was not really a good option since we couldn't just flip up the rear seats. I may have to get 1 of those bed steps to reach stuff in the middle, but I'll see how inconvenient it is 1st. They do have a shallower tool caddy, but it was the same price. So why not get the bigger one? They also have some side trays. Those wouldn't require a step. or running board.

BSea - That does look great on your truck, very nice. I ended up ordering the silver ice painted Century Cargo Lid flip-up. This will suit me just fine, as I barely use the bed for anything other than hauling luggage around, etc. I'll post a pic in a few weeks when it's arrived and installed for me. Also decided against doing a spray-in bed liner - that's just overkill, something I really don't need at all. I'll just get the Weather Tech bed mat, and be done with it.

you guys with the Revolver X2 - have you noticed any fading? I'm just wondering if I'll need to wax it, use detail spray, etc. I talked to Morrie and he quoted me $799 no shipping or tax.

Now I have only had mine since April but it still looks like new....I use 303 Protectant on it, since I don't want anything running down the side of the bed when it rains.....but so far it's still perfect.

 

Doesn't take much 303 at all......a little goes a long way.

I've had the bakflip G2 on my truck for about a month now with no issues.

Same with me, I've had my X2 since April and have 303'd it twice so far. Still looks brand new. I frequent dirt roads so I have had to roll the cover up and clean the rails and sides of the cover, as well as tighten down some of the bolts. I also wanted to redo the front bulkhead and Bak shipped me a new one no questions asked. Very happy.

Can one of the fold a cover G4 owners advise on how their covers are holding up after a couple years? I just saw one on a Sierra, and the middle hinge wasn't sitting flush with the wind rails. It was sticking up, maybe bad install. Does that middle hinge (that folds opposite of the others) have an attachment point to the truck? Or is it just held down by the tailgate latches?

Really like the concept of it. Going back and forth between that and the extang encore. Just like the ability to open the tailgate side, without having to open the tailgate. Also that caddy thing seems convenient. I always have loose crap rolling around my bed.

Thank you

Really loved my Diamondback cover on my last truck, saving up for one on my new truck. Can hold like 1,400lbs on the top.

My FAC G4 does that. I don't know why. I just lift up the cover and it then falls into place. I just got a new FAC G4 that the insurance replaced the previous one due to hail damage. It did the same thing. Other than that the cover has been great.

Been trying to decide between Pace Edwards and the Bakflip G2. Think this picture made up my mind. Looks great, how you liking it so far

Been looking around and just saw the bakflip mx4. Looks pretty nice. Supposedly much stronger, I think made of aluminum. Matte black. But biggest thing for me is you can open and close the tailgate with the cover CLOSED. I had an undercover flex on last truck, and it was nice but I haves always having to open it. Plus anytime my wife would use it, I knew she wouldn't pay attention and close the tailgate on the cover, which she did numerous times.

Anyone have an mx4? Install looks fairly simple.

I see you have the extra tie downs. I bought them with my cover but haven't installed them yet. Dis you use them much on your old truck?

Absolutely loving it. It has a nice sleek look to it and at a great price. Install took me about 30 minutes or so. I've received lots of compliments on it.

New here as well but wanted to chime in on the Tonno Pro tri-fold cover.

 

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EUZZK74/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

 

I ordered one last week and took my first trip with it on over the weekend. Drove from Arlington to Austin, Tx.

 

It is a little noisy on the highway once you get up to 75+. The tri-fold is very convenient and goes off and on quickly. Seal seems good. Took it through the car wash and bed was pretty dry afterwards.

 

I do not plan on using this very often and pretty much only for trips with cab fully occupied and luggage goes in the bed or tailgating and in need of the security when in the game. The trifold and snap buckles make on/off easy and storage in the garage when not in use is perfect for what I needed.

 

Easily worthy the price but if it was going to be on 100% of the time, I would need to focus on the noise and make it stop.

    • Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
    • Paid $2.72 for E85 today.
    • Welcome back! No, it definitely doesn't pass the sniff test. Even "ceasefire" needs an alternative definition these days.    $5.29 at Kroger today
    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
