| Thanks for the review on the access cover. I have been researching and have decided this is the one. Its nice to see an unbiased opinion. Thanks again. | |

Has anyone used or even seen the GM hard/folding/locking tonneau cover? I like that fact you can fold it up and take it off, but I would like to know more about it. Thanks, Scott |

Ordered the Access cover on the 28th of May; it was sitting on my doorstep on Friday, June 1st. Bolted it on Sunday, drove to work Monday and couldn't be happier! Looks good and, like you said, even  75 mph it's drum tight. Thanks for the feedback. -- Don |

Picking up my F-150 SuperCrew tonight. I've been reading everything I can on the subjects of bed protection (rugs, mats, spray-in, liners, etc) and the various types of bed covers. Lot's of possibilities! For now, one question: when using a rubber bed mat, is the mat fastened to the bed? Lot's of folks talk about ease of removal, but I'm not clear if that includes removing a few screws or if the mat is heavy enough to just sit in the bed without any fasteners at all. Then as respects a rubber mat for the tailgate, I guess that definitely requires drilling and screwing...right? or maybe some kind of velcro arrangement, but I would wonder about how well that would hold-up. Thanks. |

Your comments and a look at the Real Truck web-site has me very interested in the Access. One question: if I'm reading the web info correctly, it appears that if you have a lockable tailgate, the Access cover gives you a fully locked bed. Is that correct? Thanks. |

| I ordered a rubber bed mat from Cabelas and it has worked out fine. Just lays flat on the bed of the truck no problem. As for the tailgate cover, it was a rigid affair with molded in cup indents. Came with self drilling screws. I was a little reluctant to drill the tailgate but figured I wasn't going to be taking the cover off anytime soon. | |
| What type of cover is the easiest for removal, but yet sturdy and will look good. I don't want to have the thing on all the time cause, come on, this IS a truck, not an SUV, but occasionly I would like to be able to cover stuff up. Any suggestions? | |

bed with a lockable tailgate; yes, it does; other than the obvious fact that any vinyl cover is easily victim to a knife. Certainly protects from the casual thief. Just got back this evening from a 5 day, Denver-Indianapolis-Frankfort,KY-Denver trip and this thing (Access) worked great. Less flutter than you could expect from anything other than a hard cover, instant access to the bed when I needed it, and no longer any urge to jump up and check on the stuff I had in the bed every 5 minutes during breakfast at Cracker Barrel. -- Don BTW -- If anyone's interested in a cheap, slightly used Black Max Extang for a S/B Silverado please let me know. |

| Hey, I'm looking for a good site where I can get a good price on some step-bars for my 1500HD Crew. I'm interested in the bars put out by Westin. | |
|
Do a search on the web, find the absolute lowest price you can, then goto www.carparts.com and they will beat that price by 10%. Thats what I did for my cc. Ended up $370 delivered for the crew-cab CPS and with $35 rebate, $335. -Eric |
