I just find it odd that there are no YouTube videos any wear on them or many people that own them and they cost 1200, most expensive covers. I planned on getting the undercover armour flex which is also covered in line x.

Regarding the Armor Flex, the last panel (below the rear window) is NOT coated with LINE-X and has a 5-year warranty which is pretty good, but the LXP has a lifetime warranty.

 

Here's a Youtube vid on the LXP cover:

I’m about to give up on all covers under 600 

first I ordered the rough country hard Tri Fold 

Was not happy with the look and finish of the product 

 

so figured I’d save some money and try the truxport by truxedo. I like the look of a one piece cover much better but the flapping in the wind is already driving me nuts. (Not even 24hrs) lol

 

trying to stick to a budget of under 600 but looks like I wont be happy with that price range. 

 

Back to researching .....again

I meant actually user reviews. Usually everyone has reviews on everything, looks good though .

My second mod was my cover after line-x. I didn’t want to shell out bak flip money and settled for a Gator.

 

I think it was $479 shipped to my door on sale (March ‘17) for my CCSB.

 

It’s very easy to remove if needed. Usually if I’m hauling items where I need to open it i leave it in the half position

 

I will say the clips like to hang on you sometimes. If I pull from the driver side the passenger side clip hangs up a little. Outside of that it’s been a good cover for the two years I’ve had it.

Gator doesn't make any covers, they are all rebadged covers.  Yours is probably either a Bakflip Fibermax or an Undercover Flex.  Your cover has FRP (fiberglass reinforced plastic) panels.  I highly recommend that you keep some sort of UV light blocking conditioner on it.  If you don't then the sun will eventually erode the black topcoat and it won't be covered under warranty.  The picture shows what can happen to FRP after a few years without conditioner.

Thanks for the heads up. Mine is aluminum but regardless of material I imagine it wouldn’t be a bad idea to use spray detailer regularly anyway.

Looks like it's a BakFlip.

Can you DM me your price you paid? Wonder if they would do a deal if I got my truck bed line-x and a bed cover

Anyone have any pics of a truxedo x15 on there truck? Been thinking of it or the lo pro

[CamperD]

perhaps not the right thread, but it applies and perhaps it should be in different areas as well. So, I'm confident we have some amazing mechanical engineers on here or some amazing redneckedness going on - or even better the super-hero of the combined powers. I digress. 

 

So, I just ordered a diamondback cover and I was thinking if there was a way to add a remote locking feature to it perhaps via a pop & lock and if it could be tied into the factory FOB. My truck already has the tailgate tied into the factory FOB - so surely there is something to tap into near by. Below is a link to a factory marketing YouTube video on the cover and @ the 40 sec mark you can see the lock and how it works underneath. 

 

Thanks in advance to any thoughts and input.

There's no way you can add a remote locking feature to a Diamondback cover.  You have to push down on the cover in order to lock the cover and the way it locks is rather rudimentary.
