Lets talk about bed covers

[Shackleton]

running Tyger tri fold, so far so good and I especially liked the price

I scooped one of these up on craigslist from another JT owner that had only used it for a few months. I was in a bind trying to leave for vacation where the closed bed was needed. I’ve only had it a short time but it Seems to be pretty good quality.

Love my Tyger trifold...I paid $500 for it in June. Looks like it's just under $900 (geez what a difference) now!

Comes with hardware to attach to your bedrails or the Trail rail system. Mostly waterproof, but very secure.

I ordered my JT with the factory Mopar soft rollup cover. It actually is really good quality and it keeps everything completely dry, which surprised me. When buying the cover in the initial build it wasn't that expensive so I got it even though I will eventually upgrade to a hard cover.

I really want the Diamondback cover but refuse to spend $2000 on a bed cover, that's insanity. I may end up buying a solid Extang Solid Fold 2.0, which is around $900USD. I had one on my F150 and it worked really well. https://extang.com/solid-fold-2-0/2020/jeep/gladiator

The great thing about the Extang is if you need to remove it completely it takes literally 2 mins to take it off.

I purchased the Gator SFX tri-fold soft tonneau. Got mine directly from Gator. The Amazon listing is a cheaper, earlier model with problems. I love mine. Easy installation, took less than 15 minutes to mount. Would've been less with a second set of hands. Works great, water stays out and low profile. I would highly recommend if this is the type you are interested in.

Lots of good info from everybody and did not realize all the different brands. I think I have narrowed it down to either the factory Mopar roll up cover. Wish it was a hard roll up but I like the rubber seal along the edges. The other choice is the Best top hard roll up cover. I like that it is the hard roll up but I am not sure about the longevity of the velcro around the edges.
How is the velcro holding up on any of the ones that any of you have? Does it hamper you when rolling up the cover?

My Velcro just pulls off naturally as I roll the cover.

Well, as far as the Fas-top goes, the quality of the side rail extrusions, locking mechanism, fabric, velcro, the whole 9 yards, is superb.

Installed the BAK Revolver X4 Hard Rolling cover. Great cover, love how it locks down both sides not using velcro or snaps to secure it. It uses factory mounting holes in the bed that do not interfere with and do not use the Trail Rails to mount.

Running a Diamondback HD and love it. Smooth with tie downs.

Glad to hear you like yours I've got one on order.

Another vote for the Truxedo LoPro. The LoPro has a lifetime warranty: I have one on my 2006 SuperDuty, and haven't had to pay for any parts. Even when the Velcro on the cover went bad due to weathering, Truxedo sent me the entire cover (sans hardware) to replace mine. Their customer service is OUTSTANDING! And their covers are pretty good, too.
I went with another LoPro on the Gladiator, and the install was a bit odd, but not terribly difficult. I wanted to get the Pro X15 fabric cover, but everybody had them back-ordered. Turns out the vinyl LoPro looks great with the hardtop.
Be sure you buy from an authorized dealer, or Truxedo won't honor the warranty. I saved about $50 buying one on eBay from an authorized dealer.

I did the rugged ridge which is made by extang and is the same material as the premium soft top (sunbrella style)

I'll get some tomorrow.

Damn...
I forgot about these until after dark, and my nighttime pictures didn't turn out very well.
I'll get some tomorrow.
