 Subject: Extang Tonneau Cover
IP: Logged
Message:
Has anyone used this cover on there Dak
It says J45 Strip is that just a velcrow
If anyone has could you let me know how you like
it and how is the quality it states a 10 year
warantee on the cover and at $219 seams reasonable
I do a lot of 90 to 100mph crusing and want to cut
down on drag and things blowing out of my box also
would be able to keep things dry back there on
rainy and snowy days.
Did it help your highwat milage any.
Thank you

Larry: I have the Extang Tuff Tonneau III on mine. No problems -- easy to install. The Tuff Tonneau III has a J-hook on the edge -- not velcro. Once you get it on, it stays in place and I've had no leaks at all.

Thanks Guys
I will be ordering one just wanted to see if
anyone had one and how they liked them.
Sounds like the cover does its job and the price
looks resonable to me.

has them.
Ryan offered me a better price at
http://www.v8performance.com/
But i think he only takes paypal money order or
check. no cards.
I am going over to Jonas's site and see if he
carries them also
http://www.elitecustoms.com/
If your like me I am always cash poor and credit
card rich.

The Extang vinal cover on mine shrunk so bad over the last 5 years I can no longer fasten it down. Extang says "tuff toots-you're stuck" and will not back it up.

I don't think I have to worrie to much about it
shrinking were I live and I keep it in my 2 car
attached garage out of the sun and weather.
Its where it lives when I am not out driving it.
I make excuses just to get out and drive this
truck. But I am running out of them have to
think up some new ones soon.
I even took a special trip to walmart 70 mile
round trip just to buy a california car duster
so I can dust it off before I take it out of
the garage.
You don't have to ask, yes I am nuts.
LOVE MY DAK

local dealers tell me the extang products work nice, until they shrink(few years, tops) and GOOD luck getting extang to warranty anything. anyone ever hear of, or use a Sportsman tonneau cover? its been recommended to me by 3 different shops

I have had my Extang cover for 4 years. It's fine. It "shrinks" in -degree weather but so does my dick.
Do you really believe any company should warranty a product to last forever? I think you're being unreasonable. If you want a product that does what these covers do, don't be so damn cheap and go buy a hard cover.
New tarps for the extang are $50.00.

I got my tuff tonno III and it is very nice.
Almost anything will shrink when it gets cold that
is why they designed it with a high and low
setting on the Bows.
I am very happy with the cover purchase

I have one and I LOVE IT. I got the Tuff Tonneau III, snapless.
I couldn't have asked for anything better -- other than a snugtop hard tonneau. :)
I say go for it, you won't be disappointed.

does anyone have the Extang RT. I need a cover that does not sit on top of the bed rails because I have stainless bed rails. I'am not sure how well the velcro will hold up the the Ohio winters.

I asked my local dealer here about an Extang, and he says he's had nothing but problems with them. He turned me on to a Sports Master, works nice, looks good, and is a no drill mount type like the Extang.We'll see how it all works out i guess
