koolrayz Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Bought a new pickup and wondering what the best options for soft/folding tonneau cover, bed rails, bed mat/liner and probably nerf bars. Who has what that they are happy with or hated and possible best places to buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVRINGS Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 I say a good bed spray in linner is the best thing anyone with a truck can do. Only reason my truck doesn't have it is well it has a plastic linner and it was only $425. The guys over at PuckupPlus really did a great deal on some steps for a co-worker I sent over. So I give them an A+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spankis Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 +1 for Pickups Plus. I sent my dad over there for a set of Raptor stainless step bars for his cummins, and they beat the best online price we found. They'll install too, since I know you're not very mechanically inclined . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Cranium Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 When I was looking at bed covers for the girlfriends truck Pickups Plus showed me some nice ones there. The one I would have gotten folds up in 4 or 5 panels, but the last one folds vertical against the back glass so the bed is completely open for use. Or you can fold just one or more panels if you have something smaller. So the bed goes from covered and locked to completely open in a matter of seconds with just one person. Then closes back up in the same amount of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koolrayz Posted February 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Ive had the spray liners before and really liked it. May go that route again. Definatly like the sound of the 4-5 panel cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LPFSTheFett Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 I am a big fan of the Linex spray in liner. I've had it done to my last two trucks and they hold up very well to abuse. They also clean up very well! It's has a rough surface, which is what I wanted, so things wont slide as much, but your also not going to want to put something in the truck that you wouldn't want scratched either. The best folding tonneau cover I've found was the Access brand covers. I had the Larado on my F150 and am using the Vanish on my 2500. Super easy to fold up and put back. The sides hold on by Velcro, and the part by the tail gate just snaps down. Literally takes 30 seconds to fold up or put back down. Here's a link: http://www.agricover.com/index.php/products/category/C103/ If you want to see a couple liner options and the Larado/Vanish Covers, Stop by Mark/my office and you can check out both trucks. He's running the Larado Cover and Bed Rug liner. Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supplicium Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Rhino Linings is awesome. We throw huge heavy pieces of steel in our trucks and its held up for 8+years of that abuse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurkvinny Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Ask Anthony what cover is on the Silverado I sold him. That was the nicest looking / working one I ever had. And for some reason I really liked these rails I had(but would not work with cover I think) http://nurkvinny.com/images/Vehicles/Trucks/1995_GMC/95GMC5.jpg EDIT - here is a pic of the cover - http://nurkvinny.com/images/Vehicles/Trucks/99Z71/ZPassRear.jpg And running boards I had (liked them but not for me) http://nurkvinny.com/images/Vehicles/Trucks/99Z71/ZRunningB.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRocket1647545505 Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 I've got a over-the-rails Linex'd bed in my Colorado (way better than Rhino IMO), and a Agricover Lorado roll-up soft cover that Scotty hooked me up with when he was at PPC. It's by far the best soft cover on the market. No snaps to dick with in the winter. It's low profile. Very easy access and its ridiculous how easy it is to close shut. If I ever buy another pickup I'll be doing the exact same setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodRed Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 I am getting the bed of my Ram Linex'd with my tax return. I also have a Truxedo brand soft tonneau cover. No snaps, and very easy to install. Plus with the tailgate locked, you can't open the cover. If I need the full bed, I just roll the cover up. Also seems to be pretty water proof after I added a little thicker padded seal at the end near the cab. I drove from TN to Ohio in driving rain, and there wasn't a drop of water in the truck bed when I got back home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradyPPC Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 We carry a ton of that stuff in stock and can show you many different options if you wanted to stop in sometime. For the tonno cover, I vote any cover from Agricover hands down. They make a very durable cover that works in any weather condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowflake Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Im using an Access roll up cover that really works well. Its easy to use and it seems to keep water out. I have had it since i got the truck in 07 and it has held up very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I drove from TN to Ohio in driving rain, and there wasn't a drop of water in the truck bed when I got back home. This. I have a roll up and its way better than the snaps or the fold up ones. All you do is unroll it, and latch it at the end (the mechanism basically stretches itself, adjustable tensioners) and then you run your hands down the side over the velcro, done. Open bed to sealed in less than 30 seconds. I have the LUND brand cover linked here (this website is pretty awesome too, they will price match anything), oh yeah bonus is the lifetime warranty. http://www.truckaddons.com/Catalog/subpages/Lund_genesis_rollup_cover.htm Do yourself a favor and don't get a plastic liner. It will just get crap built up under neath it...wear off the paint at the contact points and start rusting. Full of fail. They have great floor mats and stepbars and whatever you want. Depending on the truck, the 03 and up Ram Factory bars are stainless I believe. They also price matched me a $200 brake controller at $100. I believe its the tekonsha prodigy.

koolrayz Posted February 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 what kind of truck? Silverado 1500 LT extended cab 4wd, 5.3L We carry a ton of that stuff in stock and can show you many different options if you wanted to stop in sometime. For the tonno cover, I vote any cover from Agricover hands down. They make a very durable cover that works in any weather condition. Really like the agricover larado and the limited. do you stock both so I could look them over? Truck has the standard cab. what are your hours? I have had the rino lining before and was happy with it, at the time it was the only option. I heard the linex is better, I do like some of the bed mats I have seen.

truckin Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 As for Bedliner's I've had Rhino Liner's in my last 3 trucks and love them, very rugged and hold up great. Cover's I've been using Truxedo on my last 2 and love them, They roll up and use velcro to hold them down, I hate the snap design they are a huge PITA. Whatever side step bar u use get Stainless Steel! Your wasting your time if you don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truck has the standard cab. what are your hours? We typically stock the lorado and the literider and we have both on display. I also have a lorado that has been on my truck since June of 05 so you can see how they hold up with age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
