Any suggestions? I'd like a hard folding one that's easy to install and is flush. Got a bedliner in it so I guess that means I need to cut out for the mounts, or?

I had one one a work truck and it was nice for large loads because you could fold it up, but i think it will be easy to break into.

I like them , but i ordered a matching fiberglass tonneau for a little more security.

by the way i live in Maryland and work in the DC metro area.

mine is garaged and I wont have stuff in the bed, but the security aspect is a good point.

Have you visited the trick Truck store around DC? I found them online and they seem to sell a lot of truck stuff.

I too am looking for a Hardtop fiberglass cover. I would kind of want it to be easily removed in case I need to go pick something big up. If anyone can recommend a brand or even better a good website for stuff like this, that would be great.

A friend with a Titan recommends Extang. They seem very nice and have many different covers. I'll be looking into it.

I Got a good deal on a Fiberglass cover,paint even matched. I have a Brand New soft cover FOR SALE-was on truck 2 wks. I liked the look of the soft cover. The frame clamps to your bed,adjust the tailgate end and your done.

No, I haven't gone to any of there stores in years. It's funny that you say that, because was on my way to run an errand and one of there owner/employees was having a yard sale. i stopped for the yard sale because the trick truck was in the yard with some truck stuff. There was a bug shield for out style truck i got for $10.

I have a advantage "hard top" on my 2008 4X4 6ft bed. It installs in about 20 minutes right out of the box and looks great. Do a Google on Advantage tonneau cover fot their site. They also make a soft cover for
about 1/2 the price...

I installed a Bak-Flip brand folding cover that latches to the mounting frame so that you have to open the tailgate (locking) in order to open the cover.
