rogervm Posted September 28, 2003 Report Share Posted September 28, 2003 I had Friday off from work and used it to pick up my Gaylord's lid from the freight company and get it installed on the truck. This is the X-2000 with the wing option. The install went without a problem although it would have been faster if I'd had someone to help me lift it on and off the truck. As it was, I had to rig up some ropes into the roof trusses of the shop. Here are a few pictures. I did have to remove the stock tailgate cap. The place I ordered it through told me the wing option wraps over the tailgate far enough to cover the holes. I picked up some snap in hole covers and painted them to match and they only show when the cover is open. The inside of the lid is carpeted and comes with a small battery powered light for night time. Overall, I'd have to give Gaylord's for this product.

blackhawk Posted October 8, 2003 Report Share Posted October 8, 2003 rogervm: I have the Raider “Low rider” bed lid, it looks exactly like the Gaylord lid other than having the spoiler. I wish I had seen the Gaylord lid first; I really like the spoiler on the back…oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rico750sxi Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 Roger, looks really good, I like the small lip. You could always get a standard tailgate cap to cover the holes if you wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vdrumright Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 I like the look of your top so much that I just ordered one. I gotta stop looking at stuff on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperDave Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 I would love to have a good looking top like that, but I need a roll up! Your'ss (play on ss) is very sharp, just not practical for me. I need a garage to put my SS in. It's too long for my current garage! I need to win the lottery to afford to build one though. I might be able to swing a carport, but it'll still get dust, dirt, rain, snow (blowing) etc.. all over it, not to mention the damn cats crawling all over it. Please, let me know if the tonneau helps your gas mileage! Great looking truck, too bad it's not a fast Black one like mine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogervm Posted October 16, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 Please, let me know if the tonneau helps your gas mileage! It looks like I've picked up about 1/2 an MPG after putting the cover on. Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
