Check out this tonneau cover i bought
My grandpa cap will be gone as of friday morning at 11 am, and i leave to go up north at 12 so i bought a tonneau cover in advance to save some gas.
I ordered this cover today, it should be in tomorrow.
Its a normal Extang tonneau cover, but it has gas shocks to where the frame will lift up like a hard top. And the frame will pop off like nothing so i can keep the cover stretched out on the frame and it wont shrink in the winter.
Or, i can take the vinal top off just like a normal cover.
This thing is pretty cool. i cant wait to get it.
I ran me about $320 O.T.D (uninstalled)
check it out.

i LOVE my Extang cover!
good buy man!
mine doesnt have the hinges though, but they all still work the same.
and theres a trick to getting the vinyl on after removal...
heres what i do
go ahead and set all of the tabs for summer weather (u'll see in u're directions) for each side EXCEPT the tailgate, leave that for winter.
then snap all the snaps near the cab first, and nothing else.
then attach the snaps in each corner, and then start on the sides...heres the key....meet in the middle...in that, i mean, snap a few to your left, then a few to your right, until u meet in the middle....
its always worked for me. hope it will for u too!

Snaps and bows may be 'old-school', but they are reliable! ..Oh, and affordable. My snap & bow Extang 'Platinum' was mine for less than $200 out the door.

Access even has refurbished specials with full warranty for $370

Once you get snow on the velcro part of the cover, its not going to stick anymore untill it melts.
Did any of you look at the web site that i posted.
THE WHOLE FRAME COMES OFF IN SECONDS.
I dont need to take just the vinal off in the winter and worry about shrinking.
I can take the whole frame off by poping out the 2 gas hindges.
I just put the cover on and it is beautiful.
comes off like nothing.
Ill take some pix tomorrow in the daylight.
