Jon,
Thanks for the input, Just what I was looking for.
Why dod you have to order it to fit ? Isn't it supposed to fit ?
Also I think you can order a lock kit for the tonneau but like you said a
tailgate lock will keep people out from that side.
Would you buy another givin the chance ?
Thanks,
Marty
