Inlaw has the hard cover and hates it..looks great but for hauling anything that sticks above the bed a little..Been wondering about the tri-folds...my tool box is bed level and would work great only if the last fold would lay next to the back window so have access to the toolbox lid. Only other option would be the taller camper shell so have enough room to get inside and open lid...and am always in the box for tools.....send a picture of your truck after get the cap installed..would like to see...also, friend of mine uses his alum cap with 6" extension for height but had to add cardboard on inside roof for winter camping...heat from heaters/cold air outside...yep..rain inside..short of truck camper, wonder if they make any with twin roof to avoid this? On my old truck, I had to add 0 hooks on sides ..rope over tree limb to remove cap myself..drive from under it..took off myself once but was tight squeeze out the open back window when laying on ground..lol..

Skeet,
This is the cover I have, the G4 Elite

http://www.pickupspecialties.com/Fol...cover-main.htm

It has a tool box option that can be added under the front top section. The top locks at the front and at the rear. It is pretty secure and is fairly water tight for a top that does not go over the outside of the bed. I put 4 of the large kitchen rubber mats in the mottom of my truck which keeys stuff from sliding and should I get a small leak in a storm, it keeps stuff off the bed surface itself, which in combination has not allowed anything to get any water of any kind on it in two years of FL storms and rain. Oh, I also drove to Tulsa in the driving rain with a bed full of cased guns, not one got damp, much less wet.
