Will have some pics soon

Sorry I don't have any photo yet as I been a little under the weather and super busy. I will try to get some possibly this coming weekend if the weather will allow. Perry, Florida is where I'm at that about 52 miles south of Tallahassee where I work. Check out Pace Edwards website as they have some great shots there as well and maybe I can get some up soon.

I have had a sportmaster and my current is a Lund Genesis. Unlike some covers, these do not shrink to a point you cannot put it on in cold weather.

I put an extang snapless on my truck the other day. It was a little below freezing and the sun had set when I put it on. It did need some stretching at that low temp, but a minute with a hair dryer heated it up enough for me to get it in the groove. Overall, very easy to install.

The cover for my 8' bed has velcro sides and a lever mechanism on both ends that tightens the top perfectly. It's below freezing here off and on and the cover works great. (TEK-724499)

Never had any problems with my Access Covers in cold weather. They're made in north dakota so cold doesn't seem to be a problem for an Access.

The Truxedo covers do the opposite of what you would think they would do. They actually expand in colder weather and contract in warmer weather. With the Truxedo Lo Profile we have automatic tension control. There are two 80lb spring plungers putting constant pressure on the front header. As the temperature flucuates the cover will automatically stay tight. That is just one of the great features of the Truxedo Lo Profile cover.

I have an Advance folding cover. It's a 4 panel fold, with both outer panels lockable. It can be removed and put back in in just a few minutes. I have had one on my '05 F150 for about a year and a half.

I don't have a long bed, but bought the Access Toolbox Edition Cover, and couldn't be any happier with it. http://www.truckalterations.com/html/access.html Here's the place I recomend buying from. They don't show their real prices, because they truly are too low.

Here's a link to a few pics on my 150.

Had teh Rol-bak for years and have not thought twice about getting another one once I save up the pennies.

Have the same and love it! Only two draw backs...First was the installation instructions were the worst I've ever seen!! I had to take it on and off 3 times, which means rerolling the spring etcetera..Second is I think the motorized feature would be really nice!! Othe wise..It's ACES!!....Brian

If you want to go with a soft roll-up cover and you have a toolbox on your truck, we can custom build a Truxedo Lo Profile cover to go with your pickup and your toolbox. We have a detail sheet that you fill out with the measurements of the bed and then we build it to fit. Check out our gallery for examples.
