This How-To will cover the installation of a Fold-a-Cover LS. It took myself and my brother-in-law about 4 hours to install the cover. Most of the time was spent learning to use a rivet gun (DOH). I'm very happy with the cover, best $500 I ever spent. For more info, visit fold-a-cover. I purchased the cover from Beto's Customs in Tampa 813-961-7571
IMPORTANT!
Be sure to always wear proper eye protection while working with power tools.
Tools/Equipment needed:
Step 1:
Install starts by attaching rail to existing Ranger bed cap. Uses tape and existing screws.
Step 2:
Locks are secured to bedliner using rivets.
Step 3:
Cover locks are drilled into the bedliner. There is also a no drill clamp-on system available.
Step 4:
Finished install shows main fold point secured to truck. These screws must be removed to fully remove the cover.
Mod Complete:
Finished job, cover closed and locked.
The Fold-a-Cover LS in action.
Back open to show tailgate lock on cover. The tailgate won't open with the cover closed.
Butt shot with cover closed.
