can they be painted?

are these roll-n-locks noisy when going over bumps? and how strong are they to hold weight on top of them???

Never had any noise from mine, But I WOULDNT put anything on top of it.

I doubt it. The top is a vinyl material.

Dean,

You have a PM.

I have been looking also. I did some research.

This is the one I think I will buy. It is pricey, but it is awesome. Locks every 12". Tension driven for easy open/close. Warranty is 2 yrs. It will support up to 500lbs!! Finish is powdercoated.

The Roll-N-Lock can't hold the weight, but has Haartz marine grade Vinyl over the aluminum slats....this is good if you live in cold, wet weather because the slats can freeze from the wet weather and will not open. The bad thing is that the vinyl can peel off. www.rollnlock.com

FOR THE MONEY, THIS IS THE BARGAIN!!
Here's a nice, but cheaper model. This one is $499.00. It is also powdercoated. The panels can be removed to replace one if you damage it, instead of buying a whole new cover!

Buck,
Thanks for the info. I trying to get a quote to get it installed. Can you give me a SWAG on install $$ if you were going to install it? I really don't have the time to mess with installing it myself.

Semper,
Lots of choices aren't there!? What is the $$ of truck cover usa cover? I went to their website, but couldn't find any $$ info. What truck are you going to install your cover on, when you decide on which one!

Thanks,
Dean

Dean,

Installation prices will vary depending on location, local economy, and how one values their time. My time may be worth more or less than the next person. I have a feeling a shop in your neck of the woods would probably charge more than I would.

If you came into my shop and asked me to install the cover I would charge $100-$150 for the install.

Hope that helps.

I have a 2005 GMC 2500HD shortbed truck. The price of the Truck Cover USA is $1,130. I had my friend who works at a dealer get me this price. The JackRabbit that PTM Chips sells is pretty nice also.

I actually might go with Truckcover USA, they are local to me (San Diego) if I have any problems. I can also have them do the install. I don't have the time or patience to do it. I know that it is harder to install these bedliners than they say it is....and you wouldn't want to make a misstake on a brand new truck!
