Here are the pictures on my land! That Forest Mist in my very own forest looks very sexy, me thinks!!!
Denicio DelToro's MX4 Install
Greetings Earthlings!
I opted to create a specific thread about my Tonneau Cover and leave the MEGA thread to its own devices (getting too hard to navigate for me).
Facts:
1. Purchased from Tonneau Factory Outlet
2. Waited nearly 1 month for it to be delivered (BAK is seemingly making these as ordered)
3. I DID have the nutty Bracket issues (holes drilled dont work)
Day 1 of install (Sunday) was a fast crash and burn. The holes were offset just enough that you could not mount the bracket in the very first steps. On Monday i called BAK to bitch and complain. The rep was a 6 on 10 scale of customer service. Seemed semi concerned. Put me on hold a lot. Got back to me, took my address and said will ship correct brackets fed ex. By friday i got more than brackets, i got a whole new rail assembly which was totally unnecessary. Sunday (a week from original attempt) i tried the new brackets. NO DICE! Same damn brackets. They did nothing but ship me the same mis-drilled brackets. This time i called my retailer and opted to let them fight the good fight. I called Tonneau Factory Outlet that sunday afternoon expecting to to leave a disgruntled voice mail. To my suprise Morrie (the owner) answered the phone and spent a LOT of time with me trying to learn, in detail, the issue i was having. He assured me that "THIS DOES get fixed, i got your back and wont leave you hanging". A very reassuring call. I sent Morrie pictures of the issue and he reached out to the folks at BAK. There was some back and forth with the engineers and Morrie. Then a few days later i get a small package with brackets that appear to have been modified at BAK.
These redrilled holes did the trick! So on monday night of this week i took my time and installed the rest of the cover. Once it was done i was reminded why i chose the MX4. To my eyes its a great looking cover. It does not draw any unnecessary "Hey Look at ME" attention but seemingly blends in with the truck as if it was born with the cover built in
.
Here are pictures of the Truck & Cover in my garage after the install and then on my 5 acre forest where we are about to build our new cottage.
Hopefully BAK has gotten the message about the holes and will correct this on their end. If you have any questions about this cover, feel free to ask.

(Sorry about them being flipped. I cant figure out how to post them correctly. I simply take the pictures with my Iphone, put them on my Win10 machine and post to these forums from that computer)

Hi... I cut down the length of the included drain tubes, found some clear tubing that fit the existing drain holes in the front corners of the bed, and stuck some butyl rubber in the BAK tubes to mate them with the clear tubing. It works but I think I'll wrap some kind of tape around the two pieces in order to make a better seal... not much rain out here to drain away but it helps when washing the truck.
