Old Gaylord

Hello all,

I have the old Gaylord tonneau, thing is quite HEAVY lol. Are these thing worth anything anymore ?? I need to protect my tools or I would have sat it aside like that boat anchor spare tire.

Thanks for the read.

 

I had one on my 1st gen that I got for 200 bucks, but it needed paint. Had it painted for 300 bucks. It appeared to me during my research, that the average good condition price of a fiberglass cover with decent paint is 400 bucks used in SoCal. I just couldn't find my color. Lots of people use these trucks for work trucks with tools in it like yourself, so you shouldn't have a problem selling it for a decent price.

Not sure if I understood your question right, but that's my experience.

 

Came in here expecting a totally different topic of conversation.

 

I'm more interested in the fact that you wanted to join in on that topic.

 

Ha ha ha ...ya saw topic again wen I got noticed about replys. To funny.

 

Honestly thought it was a new topic posted by @waitingtundra

 

I'm getting a cool 18mpg on highway using cruise control. Abandoned the bulky spare tire. Dying to dump that hard heavy tonneau and see if it can get any more miles outta gallon.

I wish it was lighter the matching green cover just completes the truck. It looks strange without it. It's like a signature item on it lol

Edit....or get a job using my head not my tools anymore lolol fat chance in HELL

 

18mpg sounds pretty good for your truck, even a V6. Not sure that removing it would improve mpg. I feel like the weight of it does not affect mpg. Some say it might decrease with aerodynamics. Removing it to save .2 mpg (or whatever) would take a long time of savings to pay for stolen tools or wear and tear on them. A tune up, or tire choice might help, but even then it would take a lot of savings to pay for tires.

 

@The Californian
Exactly what I was thinking. What are the chances he created a new account using a different screen name?

 

Not that tech savvy boys, just an old fart with a chit tundra, lol. Crank da junker up every few days, idles perfect 0 mph, lol.
