NiQU work! As for considering ,outside protection : A lot of late model mini & full size trucks, have hard fiberglass bed covers available. Get some measurements, do some research. Food, for thought.
Thanks Abodybomber. I really like the looks of some of those fiberglass bed covers. The ones that I'm most familiar with have hydraulic lift cylinders and seem pretty easy to access. They don't require bows to keep them from sagging either and they never flap in the wind. One of the things that I don't like about the ones I've seen is that they aren't easy to remove if you need to haul something tall. I may end up going back to a Velcro tarp. Maybe I could give it double duty. - It could keep the bed protected from the weather when it's on and when I need to haul things maybe I can put it on the bed floor for protection from scratches?
