Thanks @kipeharris , this post just helped me find Luke at truck alterations, spoke with him this AM and just ordered a BakFlip F1 for my truck.I ordered my lomax for Rambox yesterday from Luke at truckalterations.com for $675 out the door and it should be arriving via Fed-Ex Today. Is everyone still satisfied with their cover?
Any installation tips or problems I should know about? It sounds like it is pretty simple..... Have you modded it in anyway?
Luke at Truck Alterations 828-926-4416 quoted me below (All prices are OTD with free shipping and no sales tax in TX):
Lomax $675
MX4 $820
BAK F1 $870
Thoughts?
I hope the Bakflip rails work for you on the BUG rails and RamBox. I fought with BAK for weeks trying to get rails that would work properly on an MX4. They ultimately sent me an Undercover Armor Flex. The BAK rails are supposed to slide in to the groove on the top of the silver BUG rails and are complete trash. The tolerances have to be perfect for the rail to slide. The Undercover rails sandwich between the BUG rail and the bed itself.Thanks @kipeharris , this post just helped me find Luke at truck alterations, spoke with him this AM and just ordered a BakFlip F1 for my truck.
I was torn between the RetraxPro XR and the Truck Covers USA. I ended up going with the Truck Covers USA for two main reasons, number 1: you can release the top from a locked position without needing a key, number 2: the canister is the smallest on the market. I completed the install with a bedrug bed mat and some led strip lights. I have yakima hd crossbars with a yakima off grid basket on their way to install in the factory installed tracks on the side rails for cargo overload and hopefully a new Hobie Mirage Outback kayak I’ve been looking at getting. After a month of having the setup on my truck I can tell you I’m pretty dang happy with it.

These are very good covers. They look great and provide great water resistance. Enjoy it!Got the ArmorFlex installed last night. Looks great and install was super simple. So far very happy with my choice.View attachment 112708View attachment 112709View attachment 112710

I’ll have to check for the part #. It’s been a few years and no major issues with it. It was a worthwhile addition. I still really like it. The rubber seals along the sides have stretched and weathered a bit making it look raised/bumpy in some places which could potentially let more water in i guess, but nothing changed in the amount of seepage that I’ve noticed. Any decent rain and the corners of the bed get wet as it always has but the center stays dry.Do you have a part number for this cover?
Also, any issues with it?
Can you open and close the tailgate with the top closed? How are the panels holding up -- scratches cracking chipping etc.?I’ll have to check for the part #.

I believe it is part #68581085aaCan you open and close the tailgate with the top closed? How are the panels holding up -- scratches cracking chipping etc.?
I got one off of Facebook marketplace new in the box. Seller ordered it from our local Ram dealer and it took forever to arrive, he had to sell his 1500 Limited to get a HD rig to tow his new 5th wheel so never had a chance to install it. I made an offer and got it for 50% off retail! I installed tonight and it looks and works great! Thanks for all your help!I believe it is part #68581085aa
Yes, tailgate opens and closes with the cover closed. Panels are a durable plastic or composite material that are holding up well. They don’t scratch, have not chipped or cracked but can be dented. The black painted aluminum frame at the tailgate does scratch easily. Overall its holding up well and after 3 years of use I’d recommend it. My understanding is that when I bought mine, it was a Mopar branded Bakflip made cover. So you can look at Bakflip as an option or for more details.
Looks really good. Does it leak alot? Does the cover fold up/mate up to the back window?Mopar hard tri fold. It leaks, but I like it.View attachment 44392View attachment 44393
For some reason yours appears to be flat matte finish...which is what I am looking for. The o e at the dealer I was looking at appears to be semi-glossy. Was yours semi-glossy at first and then fade over time?Mopar hard tri fold. It leaks, but I like it.View attachment 44392View attachment 44393
Not a lot but hard rain seeps into the corners and sometimes the sides drip over the wheel wells. It does fold up to the rear window for nearly full bed access.Looks really good. Does it leak alot? Does the cover fold up/mate up to the back window?
