Default Back In Business

After arting ways with my red '04 hemi 4x4 in April of last year, I couldn't take it anymore. Finally got a new job, and went out and got an '07 Charcoal Grey Hemi Sport Quad Cab 4X4. Nicest truck I've ever owned. 45K miles on it and it's completely unmolested. Even the wifey loves this one. I know they're not that popular on here, but I'm looking for a tonneau cover for it to protect the tool I need for work. Any preferences?
BTW, It's nice to back in the forum.

Lets see some pics man.. no pics, it didn't happen.

As far as toneau covers, I'm a big fan of the retrax. They are secure and can be locked up with a locking tailgate. Mine is strong enough to stand on when its over the bed, and it rolls up out of the way when I don't need it.

My dad has a *******, nice cover but the mounting hardware is cheap. Such a shame because they really do make a beautiful Tonneau.

I have the BakFlip F1 and it too is a great cover and the sectioning is nice and it was a good price. But like Arctodus said with the ******* the mounting harware could have been better. When my father and I first put it on the clamps that hold it to the bed rail would fall off because they couldn't grip the rail well. It was a PITA to install but its all good now

Thanks fr the tips. I can't do a ******* becuase I need to carry taller stuff like a wheelbarrow frequently, but the backflip has possibilities. Thanks for your input.

Looks good! I'm jealous. Did you ever decide on a cover?

Got a 200 dollar Lund cover with the plastic strip that rolls under a lip in the frame. It serves the purpose. Wouldn't have been my first choice, but I like it. Did the LED conversion today. Went with high power red ones, and had some blue roscolux from the last truck. I like the two tone lighting. It matches the Kenwood deck very well.Name:  gauges.jpg
