Wow, thanks. I will be thinking about this one when it’s time to replace mine.
I honestly don't know. I'll have to measure when I get home.
I guess I should have mentioned, I made that strap. It comes with a bright orange, nausea inducing, strap, hard sewn to the latch (sorry Nacho or Joose folks...). There was no way I was having that on my GG and black Jeep. I found a set of 4 tie down straps in a close to matching green. Just cinched the buckle end tight around the latch and I used a couple of pop rivets with washers to secure a loop with a webbing clip I had from my fishing kayak modding days. Didn't think it thru 100% as the clip was just barely too small to clip to that back lower tie down ring, so I added a hitch pin over the tie down ring I've got it clipped to in the pic.Wow, I have to admit that looks great. Like the design of the pull strap.
I would say it leans toward the "permanent-like." It will either attach to the side trail rails, or it comes with aluminum clamp pieces if you don't have the trail rails. It would unbolt from the rails or bed fairly easily, and you'd need some kind of easy disconnect setup for the 4 drain tubes, but the problem would be it's VERY awkward to haul around, especially by yourself unless you've got an albatross wingspan.
Sorry for the crap pic. It's about 17 3/4" from the bed bottom to the bottom side of the cover. But, is has 2 drop down pieces on the back with bumpers to keep it from slamming into the roll up tray too hard, so towards the sides, that would lower the clearance to prob a little under 17".
Thank you very much. The search goes on.Sorry for the crap pic. It's about 17 3/4" from the bed bottom to the bottom side of the cover.
