Oldjeep,

Thanks for the suggestions... I PM'd Julian so I will wait to hear what he says. In the meantime, I went to the Bakflip website and found the following bullet under their FAQ page for the G2:


How strong are the panels?
EXTREMELY STRONG! These covers can handle 300 lbs of evenly distributed weight. Snow loads are never a problem. Even when this cover has been subjected to destructive hail storms that have severely damaged trucks causing thousands of dollars worth of damage, we have never had a cover damaged by hail and do not expect it to happen!

Thanks again!

 

Oldjeep,

Thanks for the suggestion.. I contacted and spoke with Julian about my damaged cover. He was extremely helpful and is in the process of helping me out get a replacement. Once I get it I'll be sure to let you know how everything went.

 

I'm in the process of writing up a pretty beefy post to a new thread going over hard covers. I am currently dealing with bakflip, have an open issue, and hope to have some answers soon. I plan to write up something so people looking for some answers on solid covers have some data.

stay tuned...

i plan to touch on the standard hard covers that come up a lot in our threads

 

My F1 should be here on monday

 

As Promised, the follow-up to my damaged Bakflip. Julian was very helpful and I got my replacement F1 today. Does seem a lot more durable than the G2. Anyways, I give Bakflip two thumbs up for GREAT customer service and satisfaction. Thanks Bakflip!!

 

I am still cover-less as I have been watching for a better cover. I like the Bakfilp @ the G2 price. I have been informed that the G2 is now coming with the HD thickness aluminum. However, I'm in Ontario and we get hail, as a matter of fact hail the size of golf ***** has occurred here.

So it would appear that I need the F1, but I can't justify the cost over the G2. It won't look any different, so am I just paying for poor design that does not do what it promises?

I have previously had the Pace Edwards Roll Cover and then a 4 section hard flip from Ford. Installed within a week of buying the trucks. Now that I have the Dodge Rambox, I'm without a cover for the first time after 2 1/2 Months.

I am not unsatisfied with BakFilp's responses, just don;t think I can justify buying the F1.

I am also waiting for the bedrug for the Rambox......

 

Hi Ontario Ram,

Having read your post, I'd like to be able to work with you to get a new F1 on your RamBox. I have multiple distributors in Canada as well as the means to be able to help you out if my initial suggestion doesn't work for you. Either way, I am here to help and will do all I can to ensure that you get an F1 on your rig as inexpensively and painlessly as possible.

PM me or email me at julian@bakliner.com and I will personally help you out.

All the best,

Julian Maimin - COO
BAK Industries

 

Julian,

I appreciate your response and have emailed you.

Definitely unexpected from any manufacturer.

 

You're most welcome. I'm glad we were able to help you out.
Let me know what you think of your cover when it gets to you.

All the best,

Julian
