recomendations for tonneau cover
 
lookin for a tonneau cover and would like some recomendations.

its gotta be a lift up type of cover but i cant decide on a hard or soft cover. id prefer one that doesnt require drilling also.

any suggestions?

There are pros and cons to the drilling/not drilling. I have one that has hardware screwed onto the bed. It does put holes in the bed, but the hardware is very small. It can be easily removed by two people in less than a minute! The Non-drilling ones are held on be clamps which are a b**ch to take off. Takes at least 10 min. and you have to re-align it everytime it is taken off. Of course, no holes or rust. I personally like the drilling hard covers. It is strong and can easily be taken off if I need to haul something tall in the bed which I frequently do. I don't like soft covers because I know I would ruin it in no time.

Gaylord's, Snuglid, & ARE are the ones I know.

I recently ordered a Gaylord for my short wide.

Waiting for delivery, will post pics when installed.

Purchased the X-2000, suppose to be easy removal with a quick release.

Shipping would be killer due to size and weight...already came across this problem when I sold my Ranger's cover. Not only that but packaging would have to be done ($$).
