hard bed covers
Has anyone had any experience with the Jason Rage bed cover. I really like the looks of it but have yet to see one on a truck. Are they weather proof ? Also anyone eith any other cover suggestion would appreciate the information.

First off, welcome... Second, take a look at peragon I think you'll like the product and the price (limited time price of $495 I think).
I have the Peragon on my truck and like it a lot. Not too hard to install. Directions were OK but not detailed enough. Overall I spent about 3 hours installing what should have taken 1 hour due to my being **** about doing it just right.... I'd recommend Peragon for hard covers cause you get best of both worlds... Fold over the box and protect/lock inside or fold back toward cab and carry the tall stuff with ease. Takes up about 12" of head bed area folded up. Some room under for long stuff... check em out.
I updated my users gallery photos with the new cover on... click on "Joule" the peragon pics are at the bottom... Come back in a couple of days and I should have it folded up with all the junk removed by then...

Thanks for the info. but I have a roll top now and installed a parqgon on my sons truck and they both have the same problems. They are hard to keep looking good as the sun affects the vinyl and they both leak too much. They are both very handy but I have to go another direction.

Have you seen the folding cover from Ford? That's the one I want.

BIGRIGFIXER, that is nice, but I want something that I can quickley and easily remove. With the Versacover, you just pull 4 cotter pins and it's done, plus it only weighs 42 pounds.

hello Go Aweigh2452,
how's the peragon hold up to weather? and looks like there is a frame/bracket at the head of the bed?
been thinking about getting one for a while now but haven't purchased because i haven't seen it in person yet.

I really like it alot. It is not 100% dry due to the way I park my rig. But it is just fine for me cause I don't keep stuff that can not handle a little moisture. I did have a huge file cabinet in it over the past weekend from Thursday-Monday and it rained every day, sometimes real hard but the cabinet stayed dry except for the sides about 3 inches up had some condensation on them and there was some puddles on the drivers side (truck leans that way in my driveway).
Overall I wanted something I could lock and have open so I could carry big stuff like making dump runs. I knew that was impossible with a solid cover and I dislike vinyl covers cause they weather poorly over time and are easy to cut into. I suppose the best ones would be the rollups but with our rains, not the best option.
Yes, there is a bracket that is used to help the rollers up to the bed height. There is also a bar at the bottom that some have removed without a problem. I have about 8" clearance under that bar. Check out their site peragon.com. They have a sale going on...
