soft tonneau?

[magnethead494]

We go through a 55 gallon drum of race fuel a month, plus haul race gear. Even with the 32 foot enclosed, keeping some stuff in the bed would be nice.

I know soft tonneau's aren't the most secure, but they at least cover stuff. I have dealer access to BAK and Roll'N'Lok. Being lockable is a requirement, without the price tag and bed-obstacles of a hard top. Something that can be closed and locked to cover stuff like floor jack, generator, straps, cooler, whatever, but opened to haul fuel drums and the like.

I'm taking that as nobody's used a softy...

I have a lorado access cover roll up .I like it alot except with my fifth wheel towing
It has support bars and can only be open if the tail gate is down
if a thieving bastards wants something it don matter what cover it it

I love my Access Lorado, but bit isn't secure by any means. A pocket knife gets someone access to anything hiding below the vinyl...

The ones I am looking at are the folding aluminum ones from BAK right now. I don't know how well they lock though. Roll n lock locks onto the tailgate, but it's just a vinyl roll, like you said, pocket knife makes quick work. Aluminum isn't much better, but at least most pocket knifes can't puncture it.

Extang Tirfold is the one I'm looking at. Looks pretty heavy duty and you have to open the tailgate to unlock. Problem is my tailgate doesn't have a key lock... not sure if you can buy a bezel or anything to change that.

I found this on ebay:

Not sure how well they work, but that and a hard tonneau like this:

Or this:

Is the route I'm hoping to take. Something that can at least deter people, but be removed easily to haul bigger stuff or a gooseneck trailer.

Got any pics of the roll n lock on your truck? Did it also lock your tail gate? I'm looking at getting one. Thanks.

Looks pretty good on there. How much room did it take up at the front of the box? Also, how much did it weigh, roughly? Thanks again.

 

[DieselmafiaLLY]

Ya I liked it it really didnt take up much prob about 12x12" box up front it rolled into there was still some room below it where you could put things a guy I know made a transfer tank to fit below it here is a pic

That roll n lock seems like the best option to secure items the bed. My question is how does it lock to the tailgate?

 

[DieselmafiaLLY]

There is a piece that bolts to the tailgate and the end of the cover hooks into holes on that piece

So, in theory, it should keep people from stealing the tailgate too. I'm sold, time to find one.

 

[DieselmafiaLLY]

Anything can be stolen. It just makes it harder with one. Where u live?
