HarvDog Posted March 26, 2005 Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 Does anyone out there have a ARE hard shell tonneau cover on a 3rd generation (02 and up) Dodge Ram? I'm going to have one installed once I pick my truck up but before I pick it up, I'm having the Line-X spray-in bedliner done. I want to go over the rails but I really don't want it to show under the cover. I'm wondering if someone who has one of these could tell me or post pictures of how far over the rails for cover comes over. This way I will know how far over the rails they can come with the Line-X (which is happening Monday by the way). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tedicast Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 Re: ARE Tonneau on a 3rd generation Dodge Ram Harv...Why d oyou wantto go over the rails with the spray in bed liner? I personally think its a cleaner look, keeping the spray liner inside the bed. I also think you will have a better truck to tonneau cover seal if the cover is put right on the paint. Just my opinion.

fisherguy Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 Re: ARE Tonneau on a 3rd generation Dodge Ram get some of those shrome rail guards. They shoud fit under the tonneau and will protect the rails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The spray on liner is permanent, if you don't like it, or tire of it. But.. .the bottom line is it is your truck, you have to do what you really want.

[/ QUOTE ] I'm no stranger to dodgetalk.com. I've been chatting with several folks on that forum about this but no-one has had pictures of the combination I'm looking for. Thought I would try out here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
