Re: MOD: Lowered Factory Deck Rails / BAKFlip Cover (Pics Inside)
Another note on my BAKFlip install:
I purchased 2 brass resizing elbows for $2.50 each (Part # 229989) and 4’ of 1/2" clear vinyl tubing for $0.97 (Part # 22273) from Lowes. The brass elbows have a 3/4" male jag on one end and a 1/2" male jag on the other.
I trimmed a 3.5” piece off the larger vinyl drain tube that came with the cover, attached the brass elbow to it, then attached 2’ of the smaller vinyl hose to the other end of the elbow. This smaller hose was the perfect diameter to fit through the stake pocket hole which is right near the cover drain tube and the elbow will prevent the drain tube from kinking. Repeat on the other side.
When running the 1/2" tube through the stake pocket you should remove the pocket cover and make sure the tube goes through the hole in the other side of the square bracket. Then it will go straight down inside the bed wall towards the ground to drain without any issues.
