If the weather ever agrees with me, I'll get my tonneau on and we'll see
what kind of improvement I get. Just some better handling in high winds
would make me happy.
I was going to put the cover on this weekend, along with a tire
rotation. Friday looked good, but Happy Hour got in the way. Saturday
started good, by the time I was free to do the work, I was in the middle
of a thunderstorm. And today (Sunday), well...it snowed all night,
making the ground a mess, and it was chilly (30) and windy all day. Not
good tonneau-installing weather.
