Best truck bed cover ?

Installing and reviewing the Diamondback SE truck bed cover.

[@timrink256]

I can't believe that you didn't make Rick ride in back while going through the carwash. Have a great weekend guys. Be Safe.

[@XRING]

That would have been a great idea! Next time!😂

[@John-uo1qf]

Does Rick share KZbin royalties? He’s always “on call”

[@XRING]

@@John-uo1qf LOL! We are neighbors.

[@elfwerks]

Outstanding! Especially… The Trunk Monkey! 🙂

[@AKendall808]

I’ve had the HD on my F250 for a couple of years now and I couldn’t be happier with it. I subscribe to “buy once, cry once” but this product didn’t require any tears at all. Your satisfaction will continue I am quite sure.

[@plu5five]

Glad you add in videos on vehicle upgrades here and there. Gives your channel a nice change and still keeping it relative to the outdoors. Happy Holidays fam🎄

[@cardinalpuff7179]

I have had one for a few years now and absolutely swear by mine. Lockable, waterproof, and easy to take on and off. You can't go wrong if you can afford it.

[@XRING]

Great to hear Cardinal! That is exactly what I needed to hear. Have a great weekend.

[@Onelowluv]

Someone get Rick a sweet tea

[@JohnGalt505]

Impeccable taste as always Ray. I like all your reviews, even the off topic ones.

[@XRING]

Thanks John and thank you for watching and commenting on my videos! I appreciate the support.

[@kubikariYOU]

Ray, I appreciate all of your videos. I had never heard of Darn Tough socks until you mentioned them. Now I own over $300 in Darn Tough socks. Thanks for the tip!

[@arborist460]

I’ve had them 7 or 8yrs now and can’t wait till it’s cold enough to wear em..

[@DarrenBecker]

Love the video Ray and Rick. Good luck at nationals. Also I’ve been looking at their bed covers and will definitely be getting one when I finally can afford a truck.

[@XRING]

Thanks Darren! I’m headed to Utah for the 2021 PCSL Championship. Skipped the rimfire Nationals.

[@badbilly429]

Looks like a great cover I’m with you had them all also, right now running the extant solid fold and a bed rug I like the carpet inside the cover is ok.

[@BobJones-zw3ui]

You saved me a few bucks from HD. looking at SE now 👍👍

[@joaquin-jacknava2696]

What a good looking truck. That diamondback is sure heavy duty. It definitely looks good on the truck. Good luck to you and Bryson on the match this weekend. Have fun sir.

[@XRING]

Thanks Joaquin! Boarding the plane right now ! ✈️

[@stratos27]

Like the new truck Ray. My neighbor put a diamondback on his Dodge. Beautifully made cover. You get what you pay for!!

[@Dwayne7834]

Good review and cover.,

[@patrickstephens632]

Welcome to the Diamondback world. I’ve had mine since 2006. After a little practice you can have it off and back on in 15 minutes tops.

[@snakeman48]

Damn Ray. I'm in the market for a '22 1ton Duramax SRW WT to replace the same in my 2007 WT. I been thinking of putting an a bed cover this time. Like you, I didn't like the rollup's, flip panels, or the one piece covers. You helped me spend my money in the past on firearms and accessories, now it's the bed cover. Now I just need to find a truck. Not an easy prospect today. Loved the FA ending. :-) Good luck at the matches.

[@XRING]

Thanks Snakeman and thanks for watching. Diesels are bringing a premium right now. I forgot to mention they also sell accessory holders for rifles and all kinds of things within the top.

[@6creeder688]

WTH glad to see the updates on the belts I can’t wait

[@XRING]

We are trying! I am thinking about doing a release using the 1” cobra instead of the proprietary buckle. The buckles take a LONG time to machine and hardcoat. We will see 6 creeder.

[@6creeder688]

I want the proprietary buckle for sure

[@BigJohnsonGG]

They Make Great Tonneau Covers. Retighten bolts & adjustable latches after about a week after it all shifts & gaskets settle. Carry On

[@XRING]

Thanks Big J! Great advice for sure.

[@sanmiguel2197]

Nice! Thanks for sharing!

[@Bill737190]

I have a Diamondback on my Tundra…..really well built piece.

[@99zebster]

Looks great! I believe a shooting mat on top of the cover would be the ticket No ridges like in the bed of the truck.

[@XRING]

I thought about that as well Skoal! Would get a little warm up there in direct sunlight.

[@johnrichner826]

I love my 180 Diamond back

[@Jerry-Parker]

Very Nice ! 🇺🇸🗽👍 Good Luck at the match !

[@glefos3917]

I went with an Undercover. One piece top that pivots from the front. Still room to access my cooler when open. Plus I can remove it or reinstall it in 2 min. I might take another look at a Diamondback on my next truck though.

[@angelcapote1218]

Nice video, cool ending lol.

[@Shadow6a]

That's a silverback monkey there. But a dry monkey is a happy monkey. Always said that!

[@tonygslc801]

Beautiful Truck Ray! Although I did have a cringe moment when you took it through the carwash 😬😧 I'm a Chevy guy to the core 🏆Great Choice 👊😎🇺🇸

[@WeaponsMachinist]

That's a solid bed cover! New law made all squat trucks and any lift's over 3 inches illegal in NC.

[@RatelLaw]

Thank you for sharing

[@eliasbonilla8087]

Awesome

[@grantwatson8761]

Been researching covers for my new GMC and have been considering a Diamondback. Also trying to decide if I want a Decked drawer system or not either.

[@MackEv_]

Will have to check out the new Chevy next weekend. Have my eye on a GMC.

[@XRING]

Looking forward to next weeks match Mackev! I think we will all have a great time.

[@70willard]

Great video . Awesome review on the cover and it’s definitely top quality for sure . And very nice that you can access the front . That’s a headache for a lot of different bed covers and that trunk monkey feature is definitely a plus ……. What did that extra feature cost by the way hahah

[@gaylecoombs5510]

I have been looking at these for a while now just not sure if I wanna pull the trigger on it yet, it is a lot of money

[@John-uo1qf]

Try a Suburban. Works for guns, bikes, groceries and a third row of seating too!

[@edwardflocken2755]

Nice

[@sethsolesbee7630]

I can’t believe you got rid of the duramax !

[@hesa3656]

Thank You Sir! This cover has great features! Are the optional cleats you mentioned earlier the same anchor points you are planning to read up on? Rick "not one sweet tea in the cooler" 🤷‍♂️😂👍🇺🇸 #22aday

[@XRING]

LOL! Yes, hopefully they have a way to secure it when in that position.

[@kirkeicher6122]

What if you haul large items that take up bed space? Motorcycle, large appliances? Do you have to remove the whole cover?

[@scarter176]

Put your rotating shooting table on top for prairie dog shoots

[@JamesBeach-ts2wh]

What is the distance of the opening from the center piece and the tailgate. I have a 2024 2500hd short bed also

[@johnschmidt5412]

Awesome looking cover. Does it cost extra for the trunk monkey.

[@SCQT]

Frayed blue tarp with duct tape accents

[@XRING]

LOL! Been there and have done that Manitou.

[@SCQT]

@@XRING that thing looks awesome. Like a much better version of what came on my old avalanche. 1600 seems like a lot when it comes to aftermarket goodies, but I will also easily spend that much on a questionable quality stereo or seat upgrade when ordering... seems like a totally worthwhile place to spend the cash.

[@brockedandloaded6034]

Tell Rick to quit breathing so hard when you're on top of the cover. Haha I've been looking into a cover for my tundra. Good info. I may have missed it but what was total cost shipped?

[@XRING]

LOL! Sounded like Darth Vader when I was doing the edit. 🤣. The first time I saw one of these was on a Toyota. For this model it was 1813.00 shipped.

[@IY6C]

I agree

[@a.gunguy1054]

Slick...

[@XRING]

Thanks Andrew! I hope you are doing well.

[@rdm1000]

Ray, my BMW X3 just got destroyed in a collision. After the bones heal, I'm going to switch to a truck. How did you settle on the Silverado, and which one did you choose? If you have other recommendations you like, I'd welcome suggestions.

[@XRING]

Dang Sigboy ! I hate to hear that but at least it was sacrificial and did it’s job in protecting you. Without getting too specific. The Chevrolet Silverados just seem to have it all together right now. I have had Toyotas (great but horrible mileage and not as refined on the interior Tundra and Tacomas) Fords (good vehicles but not what they used to be, lots of brake rotor and engine issues as of lately). Just sold a King Ranch that was about a year old and bought new but couldn’t keep it out of the shop. Dodge (can’t run fast enough). Really never considered any others but I have to have trucks because of dump trailers and other trailers that I have to pull regularly. Also, I have a 2021 Silverado that has been great for 30k miles. My 2500hd that I just bought was for pulling only. I was happy with the White one that I had over the summer but the 5.3 did seem a little anemic.

[@rdm1000]

@@XRING Thanks Ray. The X3 treated me nice, and yes, it did it's job. Airbags deployed and I'm still here, although a bit worse for wear. If you want to get a good opinion on a truck, you have to ask a man who has had them, and I knew you would give me the straight poop.

[@leeadams5941]

That's gonna give you better fuel mileage also..

[@scarter176]

Where is the discount code ? Lol

[@talkingrock7011]

Friends don’t let friends buy black trucks

[@Baldcurious]

That's not a working man's truck. Teal truck has 8' bed :):) i have a tool box in my truck amd trying to find cover that works with oversized tool box.

[@Onthebeach002]

No I have one and good luck using the bed of the truck. You can’t fit anything tall in the bed of the truck. They suck.
