Default Tonneau Cover

Hey guys, I was curious if anybody could lead me in the right direction for selecting a tonneau cover on my truck. I don't have a ton of money to drop on one, but I would really like to have one to keep the snow out of my bed during the winter etc. I was browsing on autopartswarehouse.com and there are like 10 pages of different brands and different prices. Can anybody suggest a couple roll up covers that aren't too expensive but aren't going to be crap either??

Whats your price range? All the ones im looking to get are around 400ish and they seem to be pretty decent. This website might be of some help. http://www.tonneaucoversworld.com/

I was hoping to stay below $300. How does this one look?

Thank you for showing me the site though, it's very user friendly. I'd love to have a cover, especially for going on road trips, I could throw all the luggage in the bed and leave the cab available for passengers.

You might want to try craigslist. I found one after looking for a week. It is an Extang full tilt.

Extang is a great cover. I have had mine going on 7 years and 2 trucks. All I did was replace the rail velcro last month

I found an ad on craigslist for what looks to be a great deal. I sent him an e-mail last night but he's yet to respond.

That looks exactly like mine and that's about what I paid. If it's legit you just saved yourself a ton of money.

Awesome! I hope he answers me. I offered him $150 but I'll pay more if I have to because it's a deal regardless.
