Default Tonneau Opinion

I'm looking to put a hard top tonneau cover on my 04' right now I'm leaning toward a Leer 700 series. Do any of you guys have one and how do you like it? Any suggestions on any other brands? Pics will help to since I cant really picture what it will look like on there.

Default Me too...

same here. Let me know what you decide. After you drop 600 to 700 or more, it is hard to change your mind for something different.

I want a hard cover for more security.

I have the Leer 700 with a bed rug inside. Love the combination. I installed puck lites to the carpeted top and they automatically come on when I open the lid. A 3 pack of lites was like $10 bucks at Costco. Don't get the optional lite from Leer - it sucks.

Sounds like a great idea man how does it fit on the truck is it pretty sleek? How far above the rails does it sit?

Default Leer 700

I just ordered a Leer 700 with wireless lock yesterday. Of the ones that I have been looking at the 700 and 800 are the nicest. After all is installed I am going to have a sensor installed to have the alarm go off if some one breaks into it.

Redman how well does your rug stay up? I have been told that the Bed rug has a tendency to slip down.

I will post pictures of the 700 on my 2005 supercab after it is installed.

Default That does

look sharp. It does look like a hard cover. That might be the trick. I could save some money. I want it to keep my skis in when I go skiing. I wanted a folding hard cover. I really like the smooth lines of a one piece.
See, now my decision is harder than ever.
