Flip your locking bars over so that the long part of the bar is tucked up against the bed cover. Looks like the front drivers side is correct, all the others need to be spun 180 degrees. You get a lot more clearance inside.
Thanks homie
I think the HD is probably overkill for a Gladiator, Ranger, Colorado. Probably for most people with 150s or 1500s. But I love mine and the build quality is fantastic
Christopher you could be right. I like to buy things once which is why I went with a bit overkill.
I am a little late to the game but I enjoyed the video. I also love my DB truck cover. I noticed in the video that you have the latching rods installed upside down. The rod should run parallel to the cover and angle down to the bed rail at the outer edges.
Mark thanks for the info I will check this out. This is why I love making these types of videos b/c I always learn something
Good stuff! That bed covers a beast!
Thanks. Yea I love it
I just bought this truck in Wrightsville this week.
Love it
Amazing congratulations. I loved it as well.
Kenny I still have the OG mats for it and I would be happy to get them to you.
@@HaulYT
Sounds great
Do you have a second truck key? Or keys for the bed cover?
What a fun truck
@@kenneyparsley4149 I'm pretty positive for that I gave that all to the dealership. I'll look though
Just installed mine on raptor. I went through probably 3 different tonneau covers before this one. My favorite so far. I got HD though
Brian, I'm still very impressed by my Diamondback. I also have the HD.
Great choice on the cover. Solid. 👍
Thank you mwinner101, and thank you for watching.
Im on my second Diamondback HD, first one was on my last truck for 7 years before i traded it in. These are THE BEST bed covers out there, period. Extremely stout. I also noticed, your latch rods are upside down.
I agree they are great. Someone else also told me that, thanks for the heads up.
I just bought a used HD one of these for $900 for my diesel gladiator. Never heard of these before I did but looks like I’ll be happy thanks for the video
Love mine and how are you liking that diesel?
@@HaulYT on man I love it. Favorite vehicle I’ve ever owned. On 40s it still gets 21-23 on the highway and it can’t be stopped in 4 low
I subscribed hope to see lots of cool stuff
@@smarterthanyou2674 thank you for that. 40s wow awesome. If you have any pics I would love to see them. You can find me on twitter same name if you have it.
@@HaulYT I don’t do Twitter or instagram how about key base?
@@smarterthanyou2674 Sorry boss I don't know what that is.
My concern would be if I needed the box for larger items. I think it would be awkward to have to remove and reinstall it.
Other than that, it is a bullet proof cover.
@SKAT PK it is really easy to pull the front and back panels out of the hinges and lift off. The middle section being the anchor is a bit more difficult but I agree with your concern. Larger items are def more difficult to accommodate.
Nice review. We are thinking of getting one for our gladiator
Thank you very much. I'm very impressed with mine all the time.
Waiting on mine. I went with the hd because might as well go all they way !
Awesome let me know what you think. Any plans for putting things on top?
@@HaulYT czcams.com/video/y3ukwQsx9IA/video.html
Maybe a tent . Check out this guys use with a tent. The rack comes off and at the end you can see how clean it still looks when rack not in use ...
@@warrenmullett is an awesome setup and super clean especially if it is your everyday driver. I bought the cross rail from Voodoo Fabrication so that I could completely remove it if I wanted while not needed to drill into my cover. Check them out if you want something that doesn't need to drill. The rails attach to the bed track system.
Did you ever get the spacer kit installed to correct the compressed side rail covers?
Glenn I did not. I'm new to what you are talking about can you explain?
@@HaulYT Dimondback offers some shims / spacers that go below the bed rail plastic caps that will mitigate their clamps deforming the bed rails and crushing them. You probably just need to ask them for them. They should send them out for free.

@@glennwilson7300 Thank you. This is great information.
Dang what’s the payload capability of your Rubicon? My Willys is under 1,000 lbs in its factory configuration. I could never use the full capability of the HD Diamondback.
1700lbs is what it states. Great shout on this Daniel, but I was looking to have more capacity ontop of my cover more than looking to load it down.
@@HaulYT I guess it would be better to have the ability to put something heavy up there if it was necessary.
@@danielbuchanan5327 yea for sure
What bike rack system is that? I’ve been looking for a solution that doesn’t entail me drilling holes in my Diamondback. Also, would the ATV rails interfere with that system?
I was having the same issue. It isn't actually a bike rack it is a Voodoo Fabrication crossbar with a bike fork holder bolted to it. I don't know a lot about how far over the ATV rails come but you can slide the Voodoo Crossbar along the bed so I think something could be worked out.
Trucks not even rated to have a 1600 payload capacity. Lol
It states that the payload for the Gladiator is 1700 lbs which is the highest in the midsize truck lineup. I get your joke though and trust me I hear it all the time from my fellow truck owners with the beefy v8's or larger towing abilities.
I mean I own a gladiator too.. love it. I just thought it was funny that diamondback touts 1600lbs capacity on the cover when realistically it’s not even a selling point bc the truck itself can’t even match that.
Awesome Jared. What color do you have? Do you have any mods that you love?
@@jarednadermann9474 Only if you keep it stock. People supercharge, V8 swap, heavy axle swaps, bigger lifts. These types of modifications can easily handle 1600 lbs.
@@onebridge7231 those mods are totally unrelated to the ability of the trucks payload. Lol
