I think that's the brand Tim Christians son has on his truck.You might PM or E-mail him.I'm sure he would give you his thoughts on it.Depending on his work show schedule it may take a day or two for him to reply.

THANKS!!! YOU HAPPEN TO HAVE ANY PIC'S OF HIS TRUCK?

In my opinion, that is the nicest looking tonneau.

IvelDesigns · 10-22-2006, 07:33 PM

that is exactly what i have been looking for. if anyone here has one, i'd love to see some pics of it. also any comments on how well it keeps water out would be good too.

Pete6960 · 10-22-2006, 07:58 PM

I HAD THIS SAVED ON MY PC......

IvelDesigns · 10-22-2006, 11:55 PM

so with the shaved tailgate, how do you suppose that opens? handle in the gas door?

Blue85 · 10-23-2006, 12:34 AM

mabye remote release, like a door popper style

bagged74 · 10-23-2006, 12:37 AM

I had one on my tacoma....(did i say that outloud?) anyway, I was pleased with the quality of the cover. It fit well and kept out most of the water. The fiberglass texture on the top is a little rough, but could be completely smooth with a little work. i would definitely buy one again if I was in the market.

**67 cst swb** · 10-23-2006, 12:46 AM

A co-worker at my last job had one on his S-10 Extreme... He loved it. He has zero water leaks. After seeing one in person, I will be buying one when the time comes. His is very handy to be able to take off when needed. He may have paid extra for that option, but I think it would be worth it. I think they are the best looking cover out there. and very affordable.

70clone · 10-23-2006, 02:13 AM

i had one on my old rabger show truck i loved it , the only thing i didnt like was the fact you see the texture of the fiber glass, but i love the way it looks, the closest thing to it is the gaylord cover and it starts at like $800 i say go for it ill be getting one of these myself, maybe you should get a group buy started just my .02

**N2TRUX** · 10-23-2006, 09:16 AM

You might consider comparing it to the Gem Top "GT Classic", and the Snug Top "Snug Lid" I have had a couple of these and prefer the Snug lid.

**Tim Christian** · 10-24-2006, 09:23 PM

Here is the one on my sons truck. We really like it!

409biscayne · 10-24-2006, 10:32 PM

I can't believe it , that is exactly the cover i've been thinking of . Anyone else in the North West thinking of buying one , maybe we could partner up.
Later ................................... 409

Oh yeah , any idea on weights ? I don't want a heavy one .

IvelDesigns · 10-24-2006, 11:18 PM

is that one from checker pro?

lost wages · 10-25-2006, 08:24 AM

i have the same cover and a shaved gate, theres enough lip on it to open it by hand, i like mine alot.

1LoC10 · 10-25-2006, 09:07 AM

wow, that orange one looks awesome.. that cover completes it nicely

OLDROCK&ROLLER · 10-28-2006, 07:49 AM

I have one. I don't think anyone has brought it up but you got to have your stake holes welded up for this type cover.

see ten · 10-28-2006, 07:56 AM

Pete, is that your truck I saw in the back of a mag listed as an upcoming feature? They only had a little thumbnail sized pic and I couldn't quite make it out. If it wasn't yours it was your evil (or good) twin!

I'm going to get one, but probably not until next year after I go SWB

68gmcdually · 10-28-2006, 05:25 PM

I want one and I have even welded up my stake pockets. Just need to save up my pennies now. With a new house and a new baby it feel to the bottom of the list of priorities.
