im an MWD so im there through the whole drilling process from spudding in to pulling out. i almost bought a paragon but the fact that it was an accordion style meant if you had something in the fron of the bed, it would prolly get pushed over or pushed around. Ill take pics of the fold-a-cover for you tmrw after i wash the truck. Ive been in the field for 30 some odd days and have atleast a lb of mud on each tire .

eh, it s just a job but i would much rather do something like wireline, coil tubing or something more hands on. The pay is the only thing that keeps me on the directional side. What are you doing out in the fields? I wasnt able to take a pic, we've been getting hammered w/ rain.

right now i'm doing well control and flowbacks. also not too much of a hands on job or too demanding. it just sucks 24 hours a day. but i am single, no kids, and it pays the bills! once my school loans are paid off, the jeep is paid off, a good chunk of the truck paid off and enough in the bank for a down payment on a house, i am definately gonna do something else...

Look at a Roll-N-Lock, I had one on a Nissan for 6 years with no problems and I live in the North East. I just purchased a 06 MegaCab and am having one installed in January. You cant put alot of weight on top maybe 200 lbs. It was weatherproof and it locks into the side rail with a slidbar, and hooks your tailgait with 4 large hooks. Their is no need to have to put a lock on your tailgate. It comes with 2 keys and the lock still worked great after 6 years. Bad news is thier exspensive. I can get them for around $960. Installation took me about 2 hours.
