Pulled the trigger... Ordered a tonneau

After alot of procrastinating and looking at websites over and over I finally broke down and ordered the access vanish cover for my truck. I will keep you guys posted and post some pics as soon as I get it and slap it on.

Re: Pulled the trigger... Ordered a tonneau

Well I got it from a local shop but the reason I chose that one was because it seemed to be the one that sat the most flush compared to others. I wanted to have one that fits inside the bed rails and that seemed like the best option

Thats a nice cover, the only thing that made me not want a hard cover is that, if one day I had to haul something that was tall, the cover would be sticking almost straight up.

Not to hijack the thread, but if you wanting one of these covers, I found them on stylintrucks.com for about 80$s less then the company website, and it was also free shipping. Paid $360 after I used some discounts I had for the site.

I agree, but I doubt I would be hauling anything in my truck that big. Esp being lowered soon, I dont want to put too much weight on the bed.


.....And I just dont like that "fluffy" look to the padded ones.

I really like it, it only took me an hour to install. Very straight forward its nice and snug too. The only thing I don't like, is at the tailgate end it doesn't sit flush on the tailgate its kind of raised but other then that its nice. Good quality stuff.

Its deffinitely not water proof, there are several places it would leak in no problem.
