Default Tonneau Pics

I am in the market for a tonneau cover. I am open to any quality cover; soft, folding, or hard. I haven't seen too many covers on the nnbs trucks. Could everyone please post a few pics of their tonneau cover and if they are happy with it, would purchase it again, or would purchase something different.

Well these pics really don't show it worth a crap, but the Fold-A-Cover I put on mine is fantastic. Here's a link to the pics of the truck that I posted a while ago, and I'll try to take some that show the cover better (soon).

I had an earlier model of the Fold-A-Cover on my '99 for the six years that I owned it and it was perfect for my uses. It's hard, lockable, opens at either end, and you can strap it up at the front end if you need to dump in a load of gravel with a front loader. Here's a link to their website.

Im running the BakFlip F1 and LOVE it. I do prefer the one piece fiberglass covers for appearance but it turns the box into a trunk and its very difficult to access the load from anywhere other than the back. With the 4 fold BakFlip I get the best of all worlds as you only fold up what you need to. Plus I really like the fact that its flush with the side rails so there is nothing over the rail or pockets. Its not "perfectly" water tight mind you. Close but not perfect. Minor quip though in a downpour I get about a mouthfull of water in the box at most. Not enough to cause any worry but then again i still havent hooked up the drains so maybe thats why I get any but meh whatever its still the best cover Ive run yet.

Here's a couple pix of my incredibly versatile Fold-A-Cover. I like it because the hinge is right between the front and second panels, so you can open either end; both end panels are lockable but you don't have to lock them if you don't need to; the rear three panels will fold up on top of the front one and have a strap to hold them there if you're hauling something big; the rear panel locks the tailgate when it's closed; it's mostly waterproof, and all the hardware is really heavy duty. Like I said before I got this because I was so happy with my last one after using it for six years.






Hope you find one that fits your needs!

I got the BakFlip G2. It's similar to the Fold-A-Cover but sits much lower, pretty close to flush between the bed rails. I like it but with my TuffSkin bedliner (textured spray-in just like LineX) it is not waterproof. Nothing gets soaked but it does leak around the edges a bit. I could probably seal it up with some silicone but I don't feel like it, LOL.

Well, it is a truck after all. If we wanted waterproof we would have bought cars!

Here is a picture of my Lund tri-fold. I won it as a promotion on this site.
It is waterproof and a great cover!

Although i notice in the picture it isn't on right its back about an inch too far lol.
I had this cover on when i drove up to the east coast and drove through some vicious rainstorms and not a drop of water made it in the bed!
