I don't know if this is the right section or not, but I want to put some sort of bedcover on my truck, like a truxedo lo pro, but if my tailgate is shaved, which it is, I can't open the cover, does anyone know of a way or have a tonneau cover with a shaved gate and pics please

I would imagine you would be able to if it were one that locks, you would unlock it then lift it up?

Not sure, I think bedcovers are blah, so I don't really mess with em.

I just been wanting one forawhile I guess, personal preference, but a lot of covers lock into place, and if it's locked and I need to reach inside of bed to put down my shaved gate, I'd be f'd

Yes, a lot of covers lock into place, & if it's locked & u need to reach inside of bed to put down shaved gate, then do so. Just unlock it unless...

u have a key & lose it in the snow.

Then, you're screwed. Even more so if your spare are under it, along w/. a jack that's needed cause you're lowered 2/4.

How would I know that?!?

Me too. But I can't remember the brand or model number. It's stored for the winter. I'll be putting it back on in a couple weeks.

It is a extang saber, (however I think it has been renamed the tuff toneau). No snaps, just a J lip. It seals really good, is 130mph proof It can be a PITA in the cold weather, just like all soft covers are.. Will try to get ya a few more pics tom, this is all I really have, it wasn't to show the cover off..
