Just ordered my roll x from Morrie about 15 min ago! Will it matter if I have line x sprayed already where the weather seal goes in front of the bed?? How hard are those bad boys to install?? Any help/advice is appreciated!

Line-X shouldn't affect it at all. Check out my first post...15 minutes to an hour and that's if you're really milking it.

Any idea if the Roll-X will work OK with the Bak Box? Looking on their website they say it is compatible with the bakflips, but it doesn't specifically say roll-x anywhere. I saw a video where the owner was pitching the roll-x at a trade show and he had the bak box on the demo though....

Give Morrie a call, or better yet I will shoot him an email and see if he can chime in. Seems to be more questions than I can answer...

Hey Birdman, does your roll x sign into the plastic panel above the tailgate where the iron rail goes right above it when closed? I installed yesterday and when I close it, it rubs against the tailgate plastic panel.

It did at first but I adjusted the rails so it wouldn't.

Just nudge the rail up closer to the front of the bed so that the aluminum clears the ridge on the tailgate cap or you can install the end of the rail to sit a hair higher. The rubber strip on the side will sit tight on the bed rail.

Ordered my Roll X and a Bed Rug from Morrie last weekend, and he is crazy good to work with. Answering emails late on Saturday night and took my order on Sunday. Bak Box for Roll X due out in April. Morrie must be the poster child for workaholic! Can't wait till this weekend so I can do the installs. Hafta clean the snow outta the bed, hopefully it warms up above freezing.
