Bakflip HD Metal Installed

I recently installed a BakFlip HD All Metal cover on my rig. This cover is great. Although not a whole lot different than the G2 covers out there, this cover simply looks amazing. The metal is a nice upgrade over the plastic panels of before. The side rails now have a thicker molding for superior water repelance compared to the previous model.

All in all, I give this cover a 9.9 out of 10. Great looking piece!

Not an OEM liner, but it has a DualLiner (www.dualliner.com) in it.

Appreciate the info

I was wondering what, if any, mods have to be made to the OEM plastic bed liner

I had to trim my tailgate cover at the corners and up front in the upper corners where the liner curves inward to the bed for the drain tubes on the rail (if that makes sense).

Tailgate:Trimmed corners

Trimmed upper inside corner

Drain tubes installed

I installed this one ^ on my 05' and one on a 08'. Had to trim both of them. No big deal

It does look good and I hope it doesn't fall apart or leak like their other covers.

I love the pics man. Is that the 6.5' bed on your rig. I was just looking at buying one of these and those pics just sealed the deal.

On a side note, if you don't mind, what kind of lift and size tires are you rocking on that truck. Awesome setup
