Default Bed cover

Whats everybody doing in regards of a bed cover? This will be my next investment and I'm trying to decide on what to go with. It's a blue 03 rcsb, lowered 2/4 with color matched grille, SS bumper cover and roll pan. Either a topper or hard tonneau. If anyone has pictures please put them up. Thanks in advance Mike

i'd go with a hard tonneau cover. I do not have any pictures of one because I have a truxedo lo pro soft cover. I like mine, but I think I will get a hard one next time, just personal preference.

Thanks for the pic's. I like the looks of it but it must be a pain if the cargo is taller than the bed. Is it easily removed? This is when the topper might be better. The snugtop topgun was the one I was looking at but I like the rcsb profile, looks more sportier with the hard lid

i don't really carry much cargo in the bed, hence the reason i got it. i love the looks of it. as far as taking it off, it comes off in a few seconds, but you need a person to help you. it's pretty heavy. i'd say around 120 pounds or so.

Either a ******** or snugtop IMO. I have a ******** x2000 on mine and have no complaints. Like said above, I don't haul much, if any cargo so I don't take it off. For the x2000 at least, there are two thumb screws you take off and disconnect the shocks and it pulls right off.
