Re: Truck cover?

I just got a cover from calcarcover last week, and it is worth every cent. To test how water proof it is, I poured a glass of water on top of the truck bed section, when I came back two days later not a drop had leaked through.

I have bought cheap covers before and they don't work. They don't keep water out, they will leave dust all over the truck, and they rip after a few months.

Re: Truck cover?

Wolf Ready-Fit Evolution Series. it was a bit pricey but you get what you pay for. going on four years with it and just as happy.

Re: Truck cover?

saw the LMC cover brother, the wolf fits over my cab like a glove not allowing all that extra moisture in.

Re: Truck cover?

I bought the 3000 series cover from LMC back in early spring for my Longhorn due to the fact it has had to sit outside temporarily. It fit perfectly and, even with the wet spring that Virginia has had, Ive had as much as 5 to 10 gallons of water sitting in the bed and it has yet to let a drop go through it. Believe me, I check under it after every rain.
