Looking for member's opinions on the different covers for pickup beds; given that I'll be taking this truck to the track and would like security for overnight parking at motels.
If you like yours post a picture! Thanks. Options: 1. Complete cover that lifts up and is held up with gas shocks 2. Vinyl cover that folds towards the front to access the PU bed 3. Vinal cover that is stretched over a frame 4. ? Thanks. |

A friend of mine has tried pretty much all of the options short of a hard camper shell. basically, this is what he had to say about 'em.
1) The canvas shell. Looks like the cover of the bed of a military transport. Simple, light weight, easy to remove and store. Not secure though. 2) Fiberglass cover. PITA. Not really usefull. 3) Canvas rolling cover. Pretty good, lockable, but ultimately not secure. 4) Articulated rolling aluminum cover. All the advantages of the canvas cover, with the security of something that can't be easilly broken into with a pocket knife. Of the four, he liked (1) and (4) best. He's currently using (4)... But has a big ol' dually that he can fit multiple sets of wheels and tires in the bed and still be able to cover. A smaller PU bed might be different. -Josh2 |
