Pickup bed covers

[cardo]

thanks guys!

nag utility box na lang ako sa likod. talagang di kakayanin ng budget ko yun 25k+na rolltop ng carryboy. nagtaas nanaman daw sila ng prices. magtyatyaga na lang ako sa pag scrub hehehe. kainis yun alikabok - lalo na pag umulan ... i really digs into the rubber bedliner.

anyway, I think i'm gonna enjoy the u-box... I've been itching to move alot of stuff in the u-box coz it gets really noisy when the tools, flashlight, rope and hinges, and the jack clunk under the rear seats. matagtag pa naman yun pickup and i hate yun squeaky sounds hehehe.

Up ko lang, kamustahin ko yung mga naka-roll top covers. Meron na bang water leak around those seals?

Tsaka isabay ko na rin kung pano magkakaroon ng cargo hooks outside the body like the old pick-up beds used to have? Yung mga new pick-up trucks wala na sa labas puro nasa loob at hook latch pa, hindi cargo hook. Baka may idea kayo kung meron design na nasa labas yung cargo hooks para sa trapal lalo na kung mataas sa bed ang load.

may nakita ako, fabricated na mga stainless round bars, about 1 and 1/2 inch dia., naka bolt on on top sa side ng pickup.

neat looking.

naka angat sya by about 3 inches (para may space pag turn ng nuts). the gap serves as tie down hooks na rin.

[wildthing]

wala ba nung katulad sa Explorer Sportrac na cover?

[RedHorse]

correction sa earlier post:

yong roundbars are mounted like railings sa viaduct/flyover sa topside ng pickup bed.. about 1 and 1/2 inch ang clearance.

tailgate is left untouched.

[Ungas]

Para bang ganito yung round bars?


Whole bed ang length?

May nakapagsabi sakin kumuha raw ang SMB Corp. ng batch of Hiluxes. Tapos may pinasadya sa Toyota na cargo hooks, kaso di raw pwede ibenta ng Toyota trademark infringment or something...

Sa Mitsubishi pick ups na walang external tie-downs, they supply you with clamp on tie-downs. It clamps on to the top of the bed sides with the hook facing outwards. Though very few owners actually used them and Mitsubishi stopped giving them away na yata.

[Ungas]

Sayang baka meron pang owners na ayaw gamitin bilhin ko na lang kung magkakasya sa walls ng bed.

Mga ilan ba binibigay usually kada unit? Kelangan na kelangan kasi, di namin makargahan yung unit hangga't walang cover.

[OTEP]

Five on each side yata.

Pero naglabas na din kasi sila ng Endeavor na may external tie downs. Baka sa parts network meron.

[RedHorse]

yup, yon nga ang nasa pics, naka-frontier ang madalas kong makita

These are nice, removable for bulk hauling soft covers I saw on the net:

Both brands ata don't require drilling on the pickup bed with frame/bow supports and adjustable studs to suit different climates.

Been looking for a similar one for my crew cab pickup but wala ata sa local market natin...? Recall seeing one (ala extang blackmax with snaps on the sides) on a strada and boy, it looks very clean and nice!

[Ungas]

That's the same link I posted from page 3. I wonder if anyone knows who's the local dealer for those covers?

Snap buttons could be nice, but how well is the security?

may minimal leaks pag malakas ang ulan sa roll-top covers (carryboy). May built-in drainage naman kasama. Yun mga parang trapal kasi walang lock and pwede sirain agad

[QUOTE=quiksie]may minimal leaks pag malakas ang ulan sa roll-top covers (carryboy).../QUOTE]

Yup, kahit yung Pace Edwards may tagas lalo na pag nagpawashing. Ang alam ko lang na roll-top cover na 100% leak proof yung sa Ford Explorer Sport Trac pero OEM naman ata yun.

[Ungas]

Kamusta kaya ang leaks pag umaandar ang sasakyan habang umuulan? Kung leaks lang during car wash, pwede na pag tyagaan. Anyway that is pressurized water trying to penetrate in.

Kasya kaya yung pang Sport Trac sa Hilux bed?

[quiksie]

ang alam ko exclusive lang yun pang sport trac sa sport trac. Half lang din ata ang nabubukas ng cover pero im not sure yun kasi mga nakikita ko

[soundtrucks]

yung truck cover ko ako lang may gawa saka yung technician ko na nagfifiber. check ninyo picture. flat siya sobra tapos wala ka makikita lock. i used yung cable lock ng toyota corolla. yung hinihila? yung para sa compartment. it just cost me 15t sa materials. kakaiba pa sasakyan ko. sino may gusto? www.soundtrucks.multiply.com

RE: hard cover tonneau

Its been several years na rin since the first post. Water seepage and durability seemed to be the problems encountered.

Can we have an update on the newer models available in the market today?

Contemplating on this types...

sino may gusto?

Maganda nga sir. Malinis pagkagawa. Ang shortcoming lang is loading ng tall cargoes.
But I would consider this if efforts to find a retractable lid would proved futile.
