    So, I'm looking for a Tonneau for my new TRD Sport LB. I want a trifold soft cover. I've decided on that much. Was wondering who has had experience with the covers I mentioned in the tread title. I've had good service from Extang roll-ups in the past but was wondering if the price difference between Extang and the others is really worth it.

    Here's how to look for a $200 cover and end up buying a $700 cover. (I have a 5 foot bed). Fair Warning!!!
    Step by step instructions:
    I looked at the cheaper soft tri folds first. Around $225.
    Noticed the $300 options had slightly better material.
    Found an OEM knockoff hard cover for $489. Sweet!!!
    Noticed Amazon had the BakFlip G2 on sale for $721.
    Before I knew it I ordered a $700 cover!

    Here's a link to some pics of my G2. No regrets!

    i got a tyger roll up, it fit fine. depending on how you roll it out it may look loose, but it does protect whats inside

    Don't know where you are located but I have a new never installed Extang Signature 2.0 sitting in my garage. I decided to go with a DiamondBack.

    No problem with extang at all, but the brackets are a tad too long since it is a more universal design. I'd buy it again over the lower price options.

    Thanks for the replies. I decided to give the Tyger a try. For the price, I figured even if its a total POS, I'm not out that much if I decide I don't like it. After looking at the pictures of all the different ones online, they all look pretty similar to me. (The budget ones, that is)

    few things here and there.
    I think Tyger has some great affordable products.

    I rather enjoyed my soft top roller. For around 200 bucks, the waterproofing was pretty decent too.

    The handles have a nut on the inside of them, look right down u should see a nut.
    Tighten to take up the slack in the back (u can likely fit a small hand in the gap as it is)

    This had so much potential for a Friday thread.
