RamBox (only) Tonneau

I ordered the Revolver X4 yesterday, decided bed length won out over Retrax open/close action.

And one more pic:

I think I like the clean look of this revolver even more than my bakflip mx4...

That is why I purchase it! it looks MEAN and CLEAN. and the bed access is the best part.

Guys! Can the tailgate be opened/closed with the revolver closed?

Mine opens and closes with the cover closed with no problem.

I think you’ll like it.

No issues at all with the RamBox doors. They open and close freely and stay open if left up.
The closure lever is smooth and has nicely rounded corners. Could you catch it and bend it? Probably. But, I think if you are aware it’s there you should be fine. In the second photo I circled the lever with the cover rolled back a bit.

I installed my Revolver

Ordered a BAK Revolver X4 from Morrie today. Looks like it will arrive before my truck.

I installed my cover yesterday and was pleased that I didn't have the issues others have had with the driver side rails. It took about an hour to install and still needs a little adjustment, I was racing the rain. Overall I'm very pleased with it and it looks great.

After dealing with Retrax... Im looking for another cover. Im looking at the MX4 and the Revolver. Can yall tell me how wide they are between the rails? Im thinking the space between the levers on the Revolver is pretty darn narrow... Also, is the electronic tailgate mechanism pretty reliable? What happens when that system breaks with the gate closed? Is there another way in to access the cover inside the tailgate?
Thanks

What is the material on top? Is it like a soft tonneau cover material? Do you live in a snow area? I am wondering what happens when 3=4 inches of snow falls on the revolver, how hard would it be to roll up?

Thanks!

I utilized the seals across the top to seal the area between the tailgate/bedcover and top edge of bed. No water gets through this area. Utilized the expanding seal down the side and then utilized the Access tailgate seal that you can buy on Amazon. The tail gate does not move and you have to close it harder than before, but you don't have to slam it.

Did something similar

Did something similar

That the nicest custom seal I've seen. What did you use?

 

[Jims380da]

Can you please tell us what you used and where to find it? Exactly what I am looking for!

I just sealed mine again tonight. I used just the 1 inch expanding foam seal initially but didn’t like how the sun turned it a brown color quickly and it let a lot of water through due to it not being that water resistant when it’s expanded. This time I used a d Shaped weather stripping seal that is 1 inch tall and put some of the expanding foam in the inside of the D to make it more firm. I have to shut my tailgate pretty hard to latch it currently but will see how water tight the seal is this week.

I just used a universal one from Amazon that you cut to length yourself. Ill grad some pics later today.

EDIT: Also I always clean surface with Isopropyl alcohol and then use 3M Adhesion promoter.

I just ordered this. Going to give it a try and see how well it works.

Noticed that it's been a few years since the last post. Would be great to hear any updates on the various covers folks have used. In particular, I'm considering the Bak Revolver X2 or X4 for my new Ram truck with Ram Boxes and would like to hear about owner experiences since purchase as far as longevity, durability, and/or any issues that have arisen with them. Thanks!

I had the Bak Mx4 for about 4 years or so and it was pretty good, but not perfect. It got ruined by hail and I decided to try the LOMAX Tri Fold (not the Stance) and I actually like it way better. The seal is almost 100% for rain comparatively and it is removed and reinstalled in about 30 seconds. Very happy with it.

 

[Ellisstrong]

I have my mx4 still and it still looks good and works fine. I do garage my truck though so there’s that
