Yes that’s a Pink Raptor, she’s already running over the Dodge walkers, well at least the ones that are running :)

Love it!

How do you like the bead cover?
Big Dave, I love the bed cover. It’s a Diamond Back with the Bed Rack. I think they call it the SE. It will hold 400# on it. So I can walk on it, put my tent on it, strap a bunch of stuff on it, etc. They make a HD that will hold 1200#. They have several different opening configurations.
The locking system is Far Superior to any other covers I looked at, dust can get in but no water. I carry a lot of stuff with me that I have to secure. It was so easy to install that even I could do it.
One of the best features is How Easy the Panels remove if you have to haul tall stuff. You just open the panel to 90degrees, lift it off and you can carry your sons BBQ from Lowe’s :)
I use the rack for my Kayaks and it can come on/off with 3 bolts per-pipe.
I still might go to the ARE/SNUG shell that I had on my Gen-1’s just because I carry so much gear.
Check out their website, great company to deal with

So the whole thing comes off easily, not just the end panels?

All I saw were short legs for the rack. Is that right? How do you get a kayak on there?

Both panels pop-off leaving about a 10-12” center piece that is Clamped to the bed, which can easily be removed also if you need the Entire Bed unencumbered. I don’t remove the center piece much because my old jacked-up azzz hates lying in the bed doing it.
I toss the Kayaks up on the cross members and strap them down, the cover is surrounded by tie-down cleats, I put a few extra ones on. My Yakima Kayak holders will fit on the pipes too but I haven’t bothered put them on yet. I had to cut the up-pipes about 3” to fit in my garage, can’t leave anything out in Vegas or POS will break into it. Another OUTSTANDING add was the Yakima Bed Extender $200 and the riser.extension piece for it. It turns it into an 8’bed and allows you to safely carry Long Sh#<t :)
I’ll be posting some pictures of my bed set up with the Cargo-Glide, Bed-wall molley system.
Contact me anytime if you need more questions answered. IMO if you want a secure, versatile low profile (w/o the rack) bed cover, nothing else comes close.

Thanks for the info, and the pics. So the kayak racks go on and off easily? I might just be sold on this to replace my backflip, you should get a commission for such a great presentation!
