What is a truck cap? is that the thing that makes your truck look like it is wearing a visor?

Sounds like he is talking about a camper shell I think. I can only guess that by the brand names of action and leer. I like leer's as I just think they look nicer.

I would just get a tonue cover and not even worry about the camper shell unless it is absolutly necessary. (The tonue's look better i personally think)

I agree with getting a flip tonneau cover, just make sure it is strong enough to stand on. Any of the soft covers will sag after a little time.

yes, they are completely sealed units and have rubber at the seams to keep water out, and a channel on the edges. They are very nice, but expensive.

The tonneau cover at paragon.com lookd good to me but does anyone know how secure it is? I need one that will allow me to carry my tools in some areas known for break-ins.
