BakFlip G2 Tonneau folding cover
I just ordered a BakFlip G2 tonneau cover. I know there were problems with the first version of this, it sounds like they corrected or made better with the second version (G2).
Does anyone have one? I wanted a hard cover that would lock and not need a key. I opted for this cover because the owner of Bak seems to be caring about his customers and any problems they have with his products.
Anyways, when I get it installed, I'll get some pictures for everyone.

I guess this means no one has it :-)
Well, I do now. I got it via Fedex the other day. Been working 3rd shift this week so haven't had much of a chance to do anything about installing it.
If anyone does have this installed, please let me know. I don't think my kit came with the shims and Bak says the Ranger requires them, so I need to know if it does or not because I have seen conflicting reports. If I do need them, I'll just get Bak to ship me a pack.

You need to get the tailgate locking handle and install it for it to be completely secure, of course.
On another note, I test fitted it today, but I need to get the shims from Bak to put between the bed rail and the track so the cover will latch correctly (or at all). They are a very helpful company too. I just called them, told them I need the shims and didn't get them in my package, they are sending them out free of charge.
Since I have to take it apart again to put them shims on when they come in, I will get some pictures of the install. It literally took less than a half hour to install. If I ever need to take the cover off, it's just two bolts.

I do have it installed. I haven't gotten any pictures because I am a huge slacker. I am loving the cover so far. For it to fit though, I had to remove the tailgate protector (so now it's just bare). I plan on getting some paint on bed liner for it to fix that. The other minor issue I have is I have no where to put the drain tubes. My liner has no drain holes (thanks Ford) and the only holes are for hooking down loads. I may have to drill my liner to put the tubes somewhere so water doesn't just drain into the bed.
I will be working on the truck more tomorrow, if I remember I will grab some pics.

hahaha alright alright.
dave, i got your PMs and will get some pictures of the cover this week/weekend for you. i was thinking of asking for $500 since it is a new cover (bought in march) and besides one plastic clip broken (holds the bar that holds the cover in the upright position) is in excellent condition.

Actually, I went the other way. I got a 2003 Tahoe with a 5.3L V8. I have an 87 Camaro so I figured it might be better if I keep it all similar :-)
Yes I am ok. I bruised my leg on my radio that flew out of the dash and was hanging, and sore. Airbags deployed and everything. I just needed to get something with some weight in the back and what better than a V8 SUV that weighs 7000lbs. I didn't really find any Explorers or Expeditions in my area that I liked unfortunately. Plus the Tahoe was about $5k lower than bluebook.
