Vertical spares on the bed with a tonneau cover

[Mille_ed]

Currently have a trifold tonneau cover and love that it keeps all the mess out on desert runs. Added benefit is it keeps junk from flying out when not properly secured.

Truck’s getting a bypass rack installed and will be running two spares mounted vertical.

I have this crazy idea of cutting up tire cutouts on the cover so I can still run it, and sealing up the bypass cutouts on the bed with neoprene.

Has anyone tried something like this?

Not a hard cover but keeps The dust and eyes out.

Thanks, that’s what I was picturing. I’m going to try and find a rigid tire cover that I can cut up.

What’s the small cutout in the middle for?

Looks like the top of the gas can

Looks likr the top of the gas can

Yep, gas and water jugs. I’m sure it has to do with speed but the KO2’s kick up some major dust

This is excellent! Did you fab this your self or work with someone? I’ve got a 4link planned for the summer and want to do something similar that I can install during the winter to keep the bed from filling with snow.
