    I have had a carryboy flatbed fiberglass cover in my previous Ranger, I like the fact that when body colored it made the truck look nicer. Cargo is almost 100% water proof, my only problem is, it limits me on the cargo size I can place when it is attached. Removing the cover is a minimum 2 man job. I eventualy removed it permanently when I started biking. In my new Ranger I opted for carryboy's softlid, not as nice but not bad looking either. Leaks only occur when the vehicle is stationary while under heavy downpour, but when the vehicle is constanyly moving even under a heavy downpour, leaks are very very little. Now whenever I need to carry larger cargo or my bike, I just roll the cover (no need to remove) and strap it with the built in straps.

    I never like the roller type, since the mechanism will eat up some space, prone to leaks and the worst part is they have to drill a hole on the bed's floor for the drain.

    A roll top would be the best option for security and flexibility since you do not like a canopy.

    Pace Edwards roll tops are available locally or if you have the coin, you can opt to get them from Australia (Blueys and Quig).

    Rollover = porma, clean look
    Canopy = versatility (you have no idea)
    Fasten your seatbelt! Or else... Driven To Thrill!

    Update Guys. I'd be opting for a roller up by Pace Edwards, yung fiberglass na pinagagawa ko is a FAILURE! Nagastusan lang ako ng 2,500 kasi di kami nagkasundo ng gumagawa, so to make things even yung deposit ko na 10K, 7.5K na lang daw ang babalik sa akin...

    It took a month since nag down ako and sinimulan "daw" nila yung pag fabricate, kaso after seeing the frame yesteray I got disappointed and frustrated kasi di yun yung pinagkasunduan namin... I was under the impression of having a Bed cover made with Fiberglass and metal frame, ang nangyari puro siya L bar na frame (as in naging mabigat) na may konting fiberglass. Haay, sa price na pinagkasunduan namin, I'm better off with the roller up ng PE, may warranty pa na 6 months.

    I just hope that the Isuzu Fuego size nila will fit my bed....

    Look at it half full than half empty. You may have lost 2.5k in the process but that would be better than losing the whole 10k! Good choice on the Pace Edwards roller ups. Keep us posted when you have mounted one on your truck. Pics would be great.

    You don't need steel in a F/glass canopy only need it were you are going to bolt or hold down some thing.
