Ranger Bed Cover

Ranger Bed Cover
Hey guys i'm new to the forum. I bought a 2004 Ford Ranger XLT yesterday!
I have a question. The ranger has bed rails along the side. I think they make it look pretty cool so I was wondering if they make a cover for the bed so I can have both the cover and the rails.
Just by looking at the pictures of bedcovers when shopping I just figured it would not fit properly.
Well thanks for any help! - Chris

The BakFlip is pretty slick.. if I was going to get a new tonneau I would go with that one.. but ya, any kind of hard cover is not going to be cheap..
Check out www.extang.com they have a couple of soft covers that look like they may fit between the bed sides.
And just an FYI, I wouldn't recommend any of the cheap snap-style tonneau covers they really suck in cold winter weather.

Oh really? That's good to know.. I think i'm just going to take off the bed rails and buy a Tonneau cover.

The second one down for $356.15 is that considered a cheap one? I definitely don't want one that's going to go to **** during winter!

Well, the problem with the vinyl covers in winter is that they get stiff and shrink a bit, so the cheap rollup covers are really difficult to re-install if you open them up.
However, a soft cover with a folding metal frame works OK. For example, I have the Extang Trifecta and it works fine in cold weather.

I have a Access Literider roll-up cover and love it. It should work with your rails. I'm currently building rails, bedside covers and a headache rack and the cover will work with these. The cover works perfectly in hot or cold weather, but to be fair, we don't get too much of the extreme weather conditions in the Pacific Northwest.

Thanks for all the help guys! Ya i'm looking at that Access roll-up cover. I'm pretty interested in it. So is there velcro strips with adhesive on one side and velcro on the other and you just put it along the bed side?
I found this one seems like an all right deal i'll keep shopping around see if it's cheaper anywhere else.

It comes with the girl too so that's a + when choosing which one I should buy

I'm pretty happy. I bought a new handle for my tailgate because the old one was broken and tailgate would not open properly.. So I got the new one on and WD40'd the latch mechanism and sides and put some white lithium grease on it all and it seems to be working good now hopefully does not jam back up!

You can roll it up or unroll it in two minutes.

ps, you probably can download the installation instructions in a pdf file.
