To get this right, I can open the tailgate without opening the Bakflip but I need to open the Bakflip before closing the tailgate? Is that because of a seal or something that might get pinched when you close it? The videos I see online (not Rams) you can open and close the tailgate without touching the Bakflip. I just got a quote of $730 u.s. shipped but unsure if FedEx will charge brokerage fees like UPS. thanks guys.

This is true but the % of people that need a true "locking, secure, hard cover" is very low. I would say 90% of people that buy a cover just want to keep stuff dry or from blowing out and for this the soft covers preform the job at 25% of the cost.

Yup, the seal gets hammered if you try to close the tailgate with the BakFlip shut.

The Undercover Swing Case looks useful. Especially if you want to keep a couple 18-packs cool while tailgating and you don't have the rambox. Anybody have the swing case?

I have Qwikliner and it works well. The unique flexible, textured, non-porous lining is easy to clean and will not warp, crack or peel.

Where did you get yours OldJeep? Cheapest place I could find is $675 for a G2. Anywhere cheaper? The videos I see online have the guy opening and closing the tailgate without touching the Bakflip, is the difference because of the design of the tailgate of the Dodges? Seems like a minor drawback.

I got my HD at JC WHitney and I would never buy another product from BAK since they have refused to honor their warranty. It looks nice, but is not durable at all. The aluminum is so thin that it dents too easily.

In the video I've seen he is closing the tailgate with the bakflip open.
