has anyone done there own tonneau cover? i want to try and make a soft one seeing that i have a motorcycle and just incase i need to put it on the truck i can just fold it up rather than dealing with a hard cover. or if anyone has one for sale let me know thanks
yea dang i thought they would be cheaper lol im trying to save some cash for other mods. ill figure a way to make my own soon. thanks for the help though
If you know how the snap ones work you could probably make your own. You would need a seeing machine some snap buttons screws and a drill... The cost of exterior material isn't cheap though.
ill go look around and ill have my mom sew it seeing shes a badass sewer lol. hopefully it comes out how i want it. then ill do a diy for fellas who want to save a buck
Set all of your snaps first on both the material and the the bed then set your Guide cuts on the material before laying the end piping. My lil sis is a sewing master, she was 12 when she upholstered her first car, I bought the material and paid her 20$ to do it!!! WHAT A STEAL!! Lol fit like a charm and won me best interior for 5 shows before changing it again.
Im building my own as well. Im using marine grade vinyle with a sealer sprayd onto it. I park inside a lot so its gonna last a good while. Im using 1/8 square tubing for frame and 1" square set 1/8 below bed rails for the side rails. Hopefully when done it will sit flush with top of bed rails. Using 2 16" actuators to raise it as well with quick connects so I can remove the entire thing if need be. Ithink after everything said and done it will weight about 30 pounds total so easily moved by one person. Oh yah its going to be stretched and pinched with 1/8 flat by 1" plates so I dont have to sew nothing at all just a bit of careful welding tacs
