Get the bed cover. I love having a cover bc I can leave things in the bed and not worry about them getting wet if I leave them in there overnight when I park outside.

Cool

I would go with a tonneau cover as well. I just ordered one from MOE's I got the Truxedo lo pro cover. They have the Access lorado on sale for cheaper than anywhere else too I found you have to put it in your cart though to see the actual price.

If you can afford it, id go with a fiberglass cover, body color. They look great and protect well.

Vote for the cover here as well, mines a hard cover and I love it. I carry around with me about $45k in equipment for work when I go out in the field and having a lockable hard top it great to keep things dry and secure.

As for the CAI, order a good filter for no more than $50 and then pipe your own out of pvc.

I prefer the roll-up because if you want to haul something taller than the bed sides, you just roll it up to the front, out of the way and don't have a solid cover all propped up being in the way of the front of the bed.
I have a TruXedo myself. Got it on Ebay for $199 shipped to my door. Hasn't leaked yet.

Yes the fiberglass covers are a little more secure, but if they want in bad enough, they will get in either one.

Bed cover is Useful and practical.

CAI is waste of money and only for looks. Well it does create an annoying swoosh sound under WOT...lol
Buy a drop in K&N. it will yield same results in the end and only cost u $60

I vote for bed cover. I already ordered mine, getting the tri-fold soft tonneau. Had one last year and loved it. You cna find a good one for about $200 easy.
