What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Chrome looks better.

 

Installed my BAK X4s revolver tonneau cover a few weeks ago and took some pictures today at the beach...

 

I've got to ask, what's the purpose of this? I've had caps on all of my trucks and never did anything like it.

 

Supposed to keep a lot of the dirt, dust & water out. The 2 or 3 vids I've watched, looks like (at least some) of the companies that do the camper cap installs do this. Judging by the amount of dust and the (mild) drip marks I can see (not horrible, but it is noticeable) it is getting into the bed. (He shows the exact thing in the video I had going on) And from speaking to other truck owners that have done it, this method seems to work pretty well.

For reference, this is one of the vids I watched:

I've been to 3 different places in WI that all just put a strip of foam tape along the top of the bed rail, with a double layer in the front corners. The only place I get dust and the occasional little bit of water is around the tailgate. Water intrusion is usually only because of heavy rain and wind from the right direction.

It's your truck, you know the conditions you'll be seeing. Do what you feel you need to do.

 

I did a tailgate seal a few weeks ago. Seems to have helped. Like I say with this, spoke to a few people that did it, seemed to work for them. Far as it goes, it's already done now. Have to wait and see if it does the job. Guess, if it doesn't work, at worst I'm out about $20 and an hour of my time.

Looks like I'm just the state over to the West of you and spend several weekends a year in Wisconsin. So, same weather you're used to.

 

Yup, easy enough to do and not costly, time or money.

 

What? This is a totally made up scenario.

 

its not real

 

where is your bedmat?

 

Where did you order the black lens from? It's my last exterior Chrome delete also .. ty

 

Yeah, I think the logo may be distorted on purpose due to trademark restrictions. The AI thing can be interesting with the results.

 

Taco's at the beach.

 

How did you switch from white to amber ?

 

Drove it to work with the new (to me) wheels and tires installed. Running Bronze TRD Baja wheels with some 265/75R16 Duratracs, just as noisy as I remember them being on my jeep but they are balanced perfectly and drive smoother than the last set I had.

Hello,
I just wanted to give everyone a heads up to watch for this whomever has this tonneau cover. The Bak Revolver X4S, My cover is less than 3 years old, yes it is exposed to the environment like all covers are.
However mine is coming apart on one side and i wanted everyone to see in case you have the same issue as I do, I filed a claim for warranty now I will wait to see how long it will take to get rectified. Hopefully it is not something I have to ship back to them as the weight it a lot. i could just guess what freight costs would be.
Check out the photos.

I was thinking of drying the cover off and cleaning the glue off from underneath and on the track and applying contact cement to both the metal and the underside of the material and then stretching the cover piece back into place and sticking it together.


Has anyone had the same issue?

 

Just ordered one yesterday. Thanks

 

I dnk about waiting 10 years before changing batteries. But on my personal Tacoma, I would replace the battery myself at around 4 years. No need go back dealer, or outside shop. Some of them get BS policy about will not install customer parts crap.
