any pics while using the t-slots and gear on top? Thx.Agree on that height issue. I also use a Bak-x4s revolver rolling tonneau cover and a Apicool fridge. The Apicool fits under the cover and will hold 2 cases of beer, or subtract beer for water, soda's, and sandwich making items. Decently priced on Amazon and I have 1000's of hours on it since I also run it at home or parties as an aux fridge. Runs on the AC outlet but could run on DC. So sometimes I plug the solar generator into the AC bed plug and run the fridge off 12V outlet on the generator. That way it stays running whenever you stop for breaks. The setup works for me. Also fits in the back of wife's minivan for other family trips and works for a family of 4.
The Bak-4s is lockable and gives more piece of mind if parked somewhere for a bit. Like travelling to a hotel and all luggage is in back, you don't have to pull everything out and put in cab just to stop a a restaurant, hiking trail, or some other road stop. Can it be broken into? Sure and likely pried open easily. But will keep the casual thief away and will require a tool and a few minutes vs pulling the velcro back. The t-slots were a bonus. I bought some cheap t-slot eyelets off amazon to bungee lightweight gear on top that I didn't mind getting wet. I do get a bit of water in the bed during a heavy rain, but its very minor. Easy to install. There is at least one rack that will utilize the t-slots so you can still roll the cover up with the rack on. I'm still saving money for it.
Hope that helps.
that’s no good. Have you contacted CA at BAK? I’m sure they’d replace that if it’s within the five years.I feel like the one person disappointed in the BAK x4s
after 2 years mine is not in great shape. But it’s mostly been outside under Texas heat during that time. The end caps near the tailgate a cheap plastic. I’ve had to email them for spare replacement before but one has already broke again.
I’ve more recently had a slate come completely off the top near the tailgate end after having had it rolled up for a few days.
if I did it again I’d just buy a diamondback.
I'm so sorry about the condition of your X4s. I know that's disappointing. It comes with a 5-year warranty against any manufacturer defects or flaws. Feel free to reach out to me any time and we can take a closer look at that for you.I feel like the one person disappointed in the BAK x4s

I am not there yet as far as stacking any gear on top of significant weight. It's aluminum, which I'm afraid any significant weight will bend it. So I'm hesitant to place anything on there other than lightweight items bungeed down like fishing rods and such. I believe there is some claims from the manufacturer that it can hold some weight dispersed (not sure on that number). But its aluminum which bends easier than steel, so I am cautious on that aspect. I'm just going to likely end up with some sort of rack system that fits with the Bak so I can load heavier items above and in the bed to accommodate a family of 4 and all our camping/travel gear. Plus if you put gear on the cover, you have to remove it to roll up and access everything in the bed. Which I need to do on a regular basis. So there's that. Every time we do a trip, even for several days, the bed is packed.
