Matthew. Thanks for getting back on this. I am pretty sure Access is
still around selling them (that's how I have seen that cover on the
net) and I am pretty sure they are also Literider covers also since the
website design is identical. They may well have licensed the design to
Truxedo also but I don't know.
How is the cover when closed for leaving the top of the bedrails
exposed? I have a lite bar that I am going to be installing on my truck
and want to make sure that when the cover is closed it is inside the
rails like it looks like. I did notice the dial tensioners in the back
so that is a nice feature for quick adjustment of the cover. How much
does it flap around and how well does the latch secure it? It looks
like there is a hidden release under cover in the very back and thought
that was cool. Also, does it make a good seal to the tailgate while
still being fairly easy to open?
Sorry for all of the questions but I really like theh design and think
it will work well with my lite bar.

p.s. Nice Gen II. I have a '96 myself and love the truck.
