New Tonneau is Installed. EXTANG 14535. Looks Great and fits good.

My review: The cover is high quality, all parts fit together easily and properly. The way it came, it covered the stake pocket holes completely EXCEPT for about a 1/16" to 1/8" gap in the front two pockets. I planned for this though and bought these Stake Pocket Caps:

They are black Plastic, Fit Perfectly, Look High quality.

I put the stake pocket caps in the front 4 holes (LWB= 6 Stake Pockets) (SWB= 4 Stake Pockets) I have a LWB. Bought the four pocket cap kit (as the rear pockets by the tailgate don't let water into the bed compartment) I only truly needed four of them.

Onto the pics! I like it I have a bigger trunk than any year Cadillac and this tonneau cost less than another toolbox!

Truck is still dirty as I havent washed it since my trip and got arm prints on it from installing the bed cover. :)

I like it a lot, being new though the whole truck smells like new vinyl when you walk up to it...lol but thats okay, makes the whole thing same new.

Whoever noticed the new dents on the drivers side rear of the bed, well I found those in the home depot parking lot one day.... Won't come out without paint, so at a minimum it won't be fixed till my rockers get chiped up enough to warrant more paint. then we'll see. 8)


The cover did exactly what I wanted it to though, It covered the stake pockets and it covers/hides the holes left from my toolbox.

That looks awesome! How easy is it to remove or roll up when needing to haul something? I, too, am in the market and hope to pull the trigger over the winter.

Its way easier than snaps as it comes off kinda like a zip loc bag. so its very simple and quick to open, close. my boss had one of these that we worked out of every day and it was fast and easy to use.
