Default Hats off to Extang! got my cover today.

Hats off to Extang, they make a Great product that a trained monkey can install within 5 minutes and it will save you money !

I got my extang tri-fold cover today, took me less than 5 mins to install it!

This is the 2nd tri-fold cover I have installed, (my boss was the first).

I wanted a cap but it had draw backs so I decided to go with a cover.
A hard cover looks great but takes people to install and remove if needed.....I know I have had one before.

So I decided to go with the extang trifecta cover, installed it myself and it looks great and if I have to move big stuff, I can remove it just as easily.

I put this up because I know some of you were talking about it so I thought I would add my 2 cents.

I will post some pics up tomorrow when it's not raining.

BTW, I hope all those down southwest are OK today.

that's the same one i have on my dak -- it's a good cover. super convenient to open/close/remove. it's held up in the NM sun really well too.

That's the beauty of the Trifecta, it can be completely removed in about 2 minutes, then slid into the cab, or stacked with/beside your load.

There is so much WIN in a Trifecta tonneau cover that you almost need a second tonneau cover to contain it.

It's the only tonneau cover I will buy currently. Too bad I'm strapped for cash or I would have one on my Dak already. The nice thing is there are two used ones at work that are warranty pieces, that I plan to combine, cutting to the right dimensions and then making the soft part from new material.

generally if you are going to haul something that takes up the whole bed, you could just leave the cover at home. Unless you are like me and buy refrigerators on a whim.

I have to support Extang, they make a solid fold cover that uses our FRP in a sandstone finish
