Well I got my bakflip last night and decided to pull it out of the box and see how it looked and looked like a simple easy install after peeking at the instructions, so I decided to go for it last night since I pulled it out of the box. Started by removing my rail system which I thought was not what I needed to do and the rail would install some how onto the rail system but it did not work that way, it comes with relocation plates to move the rail system down so in my case was a issue since I had cut my bedrug last week to fit it in place with my rail in stock location. Oh well learning curve there, so if anyone does a bedrug and cuts it to fit as the instructions show you send me the scrap peices please, well just the right and left sides.
I still have not re-installed my rail system since I wanted to paint the metal plates they send to relocate the rail black before putting them back on this weekend but that should be easy to do from what I see. Their solution was no more than copying someone on this forums idea of relocating the rail system lower but it should work fine, I just wished I knew that before hand and did kinda expected more from the money spent for this thing.
I also just finished with the drain tubes tonight too, I followed another members idea on that too and used 90deg. elbows tha converted the 3/4 tube to 1/2 tubing and it worked out great.
On to quality, I have to say it looks like its pretty well build and only time will tell. I also had mix feeling before I got it in my hands due to all the negative things I read here and there about the bakflip, I did decide to give them a try anyhows since there were a few good posts about it too and this is the G2 version opposed to the original version that seemed to have gotten the worst of the reviews. I also wanted to look of the bakflip and how it sits low betwen the bed rails. Also be sure ot give the top a day in the sun to help flatten out the rubber molding on the edges and it sits all flat now. As for how water tight not sure yet waiting for a good rain day that I can check things out but it does look by the way its design that it do well for keeping out rain in general unless up pull out the power washer and hit it in the corners.
Okay enough of my yammer on to the pics cause I know thats what everyone likes.
Just the toys in the driveway that I thought I share since I took this the other day too, hope you all enjoy....
