Default Bak Revolver/Roll-X Security Fix

This is a post I put together for my last truck. Been thinking about getting the new version (Revolver X2) for the new truck. Read through all the threads on it and have PM'd Luke at Truck Alterations. Appreciate it!

I had the Roll-X for all 3 years I owned the 2013 and it worked great. We bought a bunch of plastic bins and used them as "luggage" when we traveled. I only used the security chain when we traveled or I was carrying something valuable in the bed.

Here's what it looks like installed (I put one on each side):




Here's the thread on how I did it:

Thanks for that post. A Revolver x2 is on my want list. I'll be sure to add this mod when installing.

I just pulled the trigger with Truck Alterations (Luke). This will be the first mod on the new truck!

That's a great Idea! you had better patent it before Bak finds out...lol

I would like to use a plastic covered cable, similar to the one in your picture holding up the tailgate, instead of the chain, but this is really great to secure the contents...

Thanks for sharing!

That's a great idea!! I get my truck next week and have a cover sitting ready for it. This will be something I implement.
