Is that the Lorado tonneau? That's what I ended up getting. Very happy with it so far.
Did you get the back floor Husky mat as well or just the front. They're nice looking. And what did you pay for those bad boys? I have yet to make a decision on floor mats. I love the Weathertechs, but $200... Damn. I think I'd also prefer carpeted mats. Unfortunately I can't seem to find full coverage carpeted mats like these rubber ones.

I need to adjust the tightness, though. It's actually got a neat mechanism at the head of the cover with screw knobs that let you tighten and loosen the cover as needed. It's making some squeaking noises, so I think I may need to loosen it a bit. Of course if it's too loose, then it'll flap. I'm going to have to work with it to find the happy medium.

Yeah, I don't like ordering things online. I like being there in person.. that way I get it right away, I don't like to wait.
I can't decide on what kind of cover to go with. (Roll up, folding, soft, or the hard folding ones).. How is this one to fold up? I was looking on their website, and they had some neat things there where it actually locks (Not that a soft cover will provide much protection, but will delay them for about 1.5 seconds if they wanted in.. haha!).
And P.S. - Like those running boards. Mine look pretty much exactly the same (I can't tell a difference), but I think mine are a different name.

No, this is the ACI "Access" cover. I think it's the middle of the line one. I really like it, too. This morning I adjusted the tension a bit (loosened it) and the squeaking/rattling stopped. Much better.
I only got the front Husky mats for now...may get the back one later. I paid $80 for them...don't think I could make myself pay $200...yikes! I also kind of prefer carpet, but I do like the idea of keeping all the dust and gunk out of the oem carpet, so these work fine. They're not too hard and slippery nor too soft and mushy...seem to be about the right combination of traction and freedom of movement.

I was going to get a folding cover (had one before), but the guy showed me his roll-up cover on his truck (same as the one I bought) and I was sold. I like the idea that it rolls up completely out of the way rather than leaving 1/3 or 1/4 still covered. I know some of the folding ones will now fold up all the way, but then the back window is blocked, which I don't like.
This one doesn't lock with its own key, but it latches underneath the bed sides. Since the truck has a locking tailgate, it's basically "locked". Yeah, someone can cut into the vinyl, so it's more of a deterrent than anything. They have to actually "break in", just as if they broke into the cab. You know the old saying: "Keeps honest people honest." Plus I won't usually carry anything that expensive in my bed for long term.
Yeah, I think these step rails are a fairly common design. I'm happy with them and like their looks...works for me!
