Xero Posted January 15, 2005 Report Posted January 15, 2005 i hate gaylords covers!!!! what a joke! none of the bracket holes lined up and i had to drill them all out, and the bolts some are too small and the others are too long. the fit on those is so horrible...and if you lose a bolt or somehting your screwed cause theirs no extras in the kit......im so pissed right now
emperor72 Posted January 15, 2005 Report Posted January 15, 2005 It seems like this is the case with MOST, not all, aftermarket stuff. Does it at least look OK?
GEAR M UP Posted January 15, 2005 Report Posted January 15, 2005 I have a Gaylord Lid and love it.......With the X-2000 no drilling into the bed required...But I did have an issue with some of the nuts loosen up....Nothing a little thread locker wouldn’t fix.... Did you get the X-2000 or traditional hinge?
Xero Posted January 15, 2005 Author Report Posted January 15, 2005 x-2000 with the "easy" hing system....i like how it has no drilling but its such a pain in the ass to get all the bolts and what not in those tiny steak holes!!! plus its 24 outside its soooo cold im numb
Xero Posted January 15, 2005 Author Report Posted January 15, 2005 not to mention the bedrug and gaylord cover dont work together
ChevySSandChevy8.1 Posted January 15, 2005 Report Posted January 15, 2005 hmm, maybe they sent you the wrong brackets or something, because I haven't seen a problem with them yet.
Xero Posted January 15, 2005 Author Report Posted January 15, 2005 they shorted me 4 screws, and their is a LOT of finishing work i have to do..... its going to be a long sunday
r8rs4lf Posted January 15, 2005 Report Posted January 15, 2005 That's why I choose to pay someone else to do those kinds of things. Things can get so out of hand when I'm working on something, especially if things aren't going well. On top of that, I probably end up taking some of it out on my fiance and that is not fair to her at all. I forgot how much I paid to have my cover installed, but it was well worth it! Good luck on the rest of the installation! Late- Alex
04CHASE Posted January 15, 2005 Report Posted January 15, 2005 i also have the gaylord<-- x2000 cover and it has the carpet kit, looks like they fit well but i didnt install it. I wonder if they did send you the wrong stuff that sucks when that kind of crap happens espeacially when you forked out a nice chunk-a-change.hopefully things work out.
XGMTech Posted January 16, 2005 Report Posted January 16, 2005 I've heard nothing but bad things about Gaylord's on here... that's why I didn't get one. Hope it works out for ya...
Xero Posted January 16, 2005 Author Report Posted January 16, 2005 got it done with a lot of help. what do you guys think?
d_a_n_payne Posted January 16, 2005 Report Posted January 16, 2005 Looks good Can I help you out with one thing though? PLEASE take that advance auto sticker off! I would probably change the euros too but they arent that bad. Have you seen the retro 3d ones yet?
