i have the truxedo lo pro qt softcover for the ramboxes,so far i really like it,seems to be made very well,paid 329 shipped online at rex sales,will post pic soon
Bak-flip HD $850 shipped from JC Whitney. Pretty impressed with the cover, I just wish they would figure out a way to let you close the tailgate without opening the first section of the cover.
Pace-Edwards Full Metal Jack Rabbit is the cover I have. It's the best I have researched, it opens like a roll top desk, will roll back into its cannister, locks and just looks sharp, unless of course you want the top to be painted to match the truck. My 2009, HEMI, 1500 crew cab, inferno red, came with a non-locking tail gate that Pace -Edwards had a remote set-up for, that took care of that problem, very well. Dodge, shame on them, did not have a fix, if you had a naked tail gate. None of the Dealers wanted to touch the tail gate. Their "new" upgrade part was only if you had a keyed locking tail gate and you wanted to make it remote. Boy, oh boy- I hope we get past the Car industry mess as fast as possible!!! By the way, if you go to the Pace-Edwards web site they have some good pictures.....

Just ordered the Extang Trifecta folding soft cover from autoanything.com for $347.xx after 10% coupon, free shipping. Should be here next week. Local shops wanted $500 - $690 installed + tax . Read the install for this model was next to nothing to do.

If it's like my TorzaTop it is about a 10 minute install. You may have to pick up some extra foam weatherstripping to put along the front and sides to lift it up if the tailgate rubs too much.
Picked up an ARE LSX the other day, I had to wait 3 months for it but, it was worth it. They were just released this past week. There is a pretty long waiting line, glad I got in early. It's ARE's top of the line cover with electric lock and built in dome light. Also installed the bed rug to finish off the inside. Next up is LED under rail bed cargo lights. Just shy of 1400 installed by the local ARE dealer.

Stopped at a LINE X store in Athens Ga.To look at nerf bars and he had a RUGGED COVER folding cover he took in on trade for a hard cover off a 08 for $150 bucks.Then he sold me a set of stainless nerf bars NO NAMES that the quality was as good or better then WESTINS for $169.95 INSTALLED and threw in a BRAND NEW DODGE BEDLINER just pulled from a new truck for FREE.I happen to LIKE bedliners and need to be able to SLIDE stuff from front to back under the tonneau cover.Then I bought a set of smoke vent shades that fit in the channels for $69.95.He was happy.I was happy.He said business was off over 50% and handed me handful of cards and asked me to send what I could his way.What a guy!
