    I have replaced the Extang Exceed with the Bakflip F1. It took about 1 ½ months to actually get it delivered, but it finally came this weekend. I got it on today. It seems like it is half the weight, I think I'm going to really enjoy the polycarbonate. I'm not crazy about the shiney finish, but it's not terrible. It is lower profile than what I had anticipated. I will give the Extang credit, it did cover slightly more on the cab end, F1 not bad, but doesn't cover the entire top bed rail like the Extang.

    Two faults I've found with Bakflip is the miscut piece they sent. Not a huge deal because it's covered, but dang...over $1000 I'd expect any screw ups to be my own! Also, the instructions they include are for previous years models. It's not rocket science, but again, include proper instructions. They had 3 different types and numbers of foam spacers included, none of which are specified in the instructions. It says put 3 to protect the cab, but don't indicate which ones. No idea where the others go.

    So I still haven’t been able to get an answer on this….


    Can I load a quad into the bakflip cover?

    Concerned about the force of the quad pushing into that little 4th panel part of the cover. Like the idea of having the folded up part to protect the window from the quad

    Just installed my tonneau. It's a GXT-89419 - Gator Tailback Tonneau. It has brackets that slide into the deck rail to lock it down. I'm happy with it. I'm sure it won't be 100% water tight but good enough for what I need.

    BakFlip MX4 checking in. Finally got it after 2 month wait. Word of advise if you're installing yourself- slide the 5 silver brackets into the new rail before you bolt it to the bed. If you bolt the brackets first then you're going to have a hell of a time trying to get the new rail in.

    This is where I put the 2 of the extra foam spacers. The smallest spacers I believe are supposed to be stuck on the exterior of the last panel (tail gate). They're supposed to keep that panel and the one next to it from rubbing when you have them opened.

    yes it’s possible, the 4th panel won’t push all the way to the cab. Alternatively you can remove the entire cover by hand.

    im more worried about the quad pushing into the 4th panel and damaging it...

    ive had a couple extangs in previous trucks and would simply take them on/off when putting the quad in. would be cool this time if i didn't have to do that

    That's not a baby monitor, that's the recall fix for backup camera issues!

    I had the MX4 on my 14 Tundra for 6 years and it held up well. I hauled everything from pallets of product to furniture to hardware store stuff, all with the cover on. You should be ok with a quad, I don’t think it’ll damage the cover to the point you need to replace it. Plus, all the scuffs and scratches will be on the under side of the cover.

    Can anyone tell me where I can find a tri fold for sale that I can order now? The Toyota one is backordered until eternity and the Rough Country website says they dont have it for the short bed. I want a Diamondback but I cant afford it at this time.

    I ordered the weather tech tri fold on Mother’s Day to find it was backordered, but they said it’s never backordered long… and it wasn’t. It was supposed to be here yesterday… but shipping problem, now says it should be here Friday.

    Lomax was in stock when I was looking around that time too (if I recall correctly).

    Easy install, less than 2 hours... the fit and finish of the RetraxONE XR is excellent, clamps into the existing bed channel and still allows use of the tie downs. There's still plenty of bed room left, and no flip up covering the rear window/camera

    For what it's worth, the front corner channels are hollow, the drain tubes easily feed down thru them. Will use 90° slip on fittings to finish the drain.

    Thanks to Golfersa for the idea. 5/16" drill bit, very slowly. Cut the hose at an angle, stuffed 3/4" thru and went underneath to pull from the bottom. No elbow needed for MX4.

    Same place I went, but the canister for the retractable puts the drain tubes just above the slant, will require elbow over and MAYBE elbow down, we'll see. Easy peasy.

    Thanks Golfer, this is why I joined the forum- great ideas like these.

    Now if we can somehow keep the gen 2.5 trolls out...

    Looks like a few more Retrax's are going on...

    IMG_6681.jpg IMG_6682.jpg

    Installed in about 2hrs or less. Do not forget the earlier tips provided ;)! Get a buddy to assist with the 'LIFT into PLACE' :amen:! Find a torque wrench with a low enough load rating :)...I had to guess; mine was more suited for the tire lug torque type of ft-lbs.

    Lots of Retrax covers and I am getting closer to decide to get one too. Just not sure if it'll fulfill my needs. I have a topper on my Tacoma right now but would rather go towards a tonneau cover and a rack above it with the Tundra. Anyone using that combination here? I like the way Retrax operates but I don't know if it can handle OVS Freedom Rack

    Never heard of that rack, have you asked the folks at Retrax? The XR "Trax Rail System will work with most T-slot accessories from Yakima, Thule, Rhino-Rack, and many more..."

    I have but haven't heard anything back yet.
    I know Retrax will work with numerous t-slot options it's just a matter how much load it can hold.

    Can I ask a silly question? This is not only my first tundra, but my first truck. I'm debating retractable vs. tonneau. Do you feel that you lose much cargo space because of the box?

    Mine arrived in ~30 days from undercover’s website. I ordered the undercover armorflex on 4/2 and received it roughly 35 days later.

    I don't, no. How much cargo do you plan to put in the bed of your truck? My 2009 had a 3-fold, can probably count on one hand how many times in 13 years that I either removed it, or folded it up against the back window.

    I debated 5.5 vs 6.5 ft bed in my mind for a while and ultimately went with the 5.5 because I live in an urban area, and thought the wider turning radius would be a PITA. I figured I already have the shorter bed, do I want to lose space to the box? Then I remembered I'm a CPA and I'm mostly just getting the truck for weekend warrior stuff. I think there will probably be a bed extender in my future.

    I would say very little. Usually I have something that is low enough to slip under that canister housing to fill up the box. IMO, this is a sleek, low profile option and I have never been a big fan of the flip ups [but lots of guys love them]. My F150 had the Diamond Back and even though I absolutely loved it, I could not get taller items into the box because of the cross member clamped in the middle to hold the panels. No I can not only load taller items but also hang my MTN BKS over the endgate.
