However, a Peragon cover is not designed to support that much weight when bouncing down the road. Technically, I'm sure there is an amount of weight you could haul on our cover without a problem. Of course, you know how that would work - we'd rate it for 100 pounds and someone would put on 250. We just steer clear of that minefield and recommend no cargo on the cover when traveling.
Heath, I've decided to carry my Hummer on the bed as a test. Of course it's not the full blown Hummer, but it would definitely beef up your claims.

How many we at now? I'm thinking I'm going to pull that plug! With LE discount on top of bulk order discount how can I say no!

Product looks so much better anf tougher than the soft covers.

That's great! All about the marketing angle, right?

Mac / Bobby - Exactly, we offer a $25 discount and a free Tailgate Seal Kit to Military / Law Enforcement / Fire with a copy of ID or other verification of status. It's a small way we can thank these people for the work they do. We'll add that discount to the Group Buy discount.

Heath,
Does the military discount apply to retired military or just active duty?

I can see installing this on my truck and people asking me about it. Got a contract job for me. Commission? Remember, I'm a poor college student these days. And besides. I could write off the trucks and the product. Yeap, I come from a family of hooligans always trying to sell people the shirt off your back. Maybe I can take my wife to flea markets so she can shop. And since I hate shopping, I could setup a booth and sell your tonneau covers. Case of beer for each one I sell. Of course, I'm talking about German beer, Hefe Weissen, my favorite at $2.50 a bottle. Need a job to support my drug habit.

BTW, Heath, I plan to stash the second cover in my closet for my son's birthday/Christmas present. I just bought him some Weathertech matts and instead of waiting I just installed them now, since he didn't have any. Can these covers be made to fit my wife's Toyota Corolla? Bet she'd like that.
