4 years later and here I am watching your video - considering the Diamond back HD or Switchback currently for F150. Looks great on your truck.
Best Truck Covers Ever Made!!! DiamondBack knows how to make a Truck Cover that will out last your Truck!!!
Their customer service is Top Notch too!! Diamond Back is wonderful in hauling my 4-Wheeler with the ramps that they provide and I also got the Headache HD Rack. Awesome Products from Diamond Back!! 💯👍🏻
Owner for 4 years now works great. Best thing I ever bought for my truck. Headach rack and ATV extentions for my Diesel Arcticat. Get the designed ramps also no kickback and no need for straps. I bought the shinny cover love showing it off. Instructions are just as he said, simple and easy. I'm 68 years old and did it myself. Stay dry when I sleep in the Bed on quick trips. Heck its always dry inside. Love the center piece gutters they really work.
Great video! After initially installing mine, I've had to take it off and reinstall it twice more. I find it easier to assemble all three parts on the top of the truck before I even put the clamps on the center piece. Doing it solo, for me it's easier to lay the cab piece on first closer to the middle and then the center piece. This gives me more room to stand in the bed and finagle the cab piece on to the center piece. I then move the center piece more to the center before installing the tailgate piece. I use the factory bed caps as a guide on centering everything and just manhandle it from the tailgate end by nudging it here and there to get it perfectly centered. Once centered, I clamp the center piece. It helps to push down on the end pieces when tightening them down, but if doing it solo, I just place something heavy on the end pieces - dumbbells, spare coilovers/struts, dead car batteries, whatever. All in all, I really like this cover. I have no leaks and my contents are very secure.
The old gal is lookin great! It was so cool to see you doing that out in the field-- looks easy.
It really was easy Denise and it does look nice on the old Ford.
Jason
Well done video. Going to install my Diamondback on my Lightning now!
Amazing how this cover even makes a ford truck look good.
Best HD installation video out there. Thanks for the help.
I love that you're still driving that old SD. I've loved the look of those trucks since I first saw them brand new in 1998-9, when I was 8 years old.
That's one slick cover I like the fact that it has a high load rate fore storage on top.
Yeah, I think that will come in handy when I am out the woods I figure I can throw long rounds of firewood on top and haul it back to camp :)
Looks much more useful than the typical tonneau covers. I like the access panel near the tool bin end especially and rugged enough to support weight.
Its very rugged for sure and accessing the gear underneath has turned out to be very convenient
Thanks man! My 8’ Db HD is coming tomorrow ! This helped a lot get me ready for the install.
Great investment!You can put 2 popout led lights under the center panel with batteries so you can see at dark.Be well and wish you happy new year!
Great choice in bed covering! That gives you a nice platform for a variety of uses.
It is really turning out to be very handy.
Jason
Pricey but seems better than the $300-500 trifold covers out there. I like the fact that it can carry 1600lbs.! When my cover gets old I plan on getting thus one. That will give me time to save for.
I love my my HD cover. I just recently added the tool box.
I also like that I am the only person around here that has one. I wish that the back had a safety latch as it would help if I had to haul a over length objects like a ladder.
Great video.
I wonder if you could just order a replacement latch and add it to the back?
Jason
you shouldn't have an issue with the back one catching wind like the front.
First, I think your channel is excellent. Second, you've about sold me on the diamondback.
I am really liking mine and the more I get it outfitted out the more I am liking it.
Jason
That thing looks bulletproof and straightforward to install. Love the video and direction your taking your channel! That bin looks handier than a shirt pocket too.
Thank you. The bin has turned out to be a great accessory to the cover
Jason,
That was the perfect video guide for the installation of the Diamondback HD bed cover. It is a video that I couldn't find on the actual Diamondback website. I wonder how your cover is holding up now that you've had it for nearly 4 years. I'm sure its great. I just received mine for my 2022 Tacoma and am excited to install it.
John
Great video. Thank you
One of my favorite upgrades to my truck. Super handy cover, glad to see you with one.
Kyle I am liking even more than I thought I would its a great upgrade for sure.
Jason
Mine is coming for an early Christmas present!
Excellent and informative. Much appreciated.
Love the Diamondback cover! Bought the SE for my 2019 Tacoma and use it so much for secure storage of gear as well as hauling stuff on top of it.
I agree..it is great. Check out the video where I mounted some gear using Unistrut. It works great on the Diamondback.
@@PrimalOutdoors I saw that video. I'm not sure what i'm going to do about carrying gear for camping trips etc in the future. I am a tennis coach and carry my gear in the back of the truck right now so I access it every day. I was thinking of getting a Prinsu rack for my cab to carry some other gear when we go camping and exploring.
I want to add one to my 2019 Tacoma off road but it’s kinda pricy compared to other covers. Is it worth it?
Love the Diamondbacks
Love your setup! Very inspiring as I am thinking about a rooftop tent for my car.
Going to get one for the Tundra after the first of the year... Great kit! Good video!
Thanks Tom, I think you will really like it.
Jason
THANK YOU FOR SHOWING ME /US HOW TO PUT IT ON THE TRUCK! HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT MERRY CHRISTMAS & SAFE HAPPY NEW YEAR TOO! I'LL HAVE TO CHECK THEM OUT!
Thank you Merry Christmas
Jason
Got mine installed today. Great Video.
Looks really nice on the old pickup :-)
Great upgrade. Looking forward to more of that ;-)
Glad you enjoyed it John, it was good upgrade to the truck.
Jason
Love your channel and content Jason! Hope the best for you in 2019 and on. Keep up the great work and give the dogs a hug for us. My wife (Leisa) and I started a channel a couple years ago (Live & Learn Overland) and I can only hope that one day my channel can churn out the level of videos that yours does. Thanks again for the inspiration and keep the great videos coming.
You did a great job on the install. You probably help sell a 1,000 units.
Jason, you’re a great instructor! I sure like that no drilling is involved and it really looks good on the truck. Merry Christmas 🎄🎁
I don't know how good of instructor I am, but I was happy there was no drilling involved ;)
Jason
Great review and will definitely look into diamond back cover for my 2005 Dodge Dakota Crew Cab 4WD truck
Looks great!!! I think it will work out well for you! I love that old Ford truck!
It already is working out nicely I am really glad to have it.
Jason
That looks awesome Jason! Going to be very nice being dry.
Thanks Ozzie :)
Jason
Very good job on the install Jason,and Merry Christmas to you,Daisy & Wheeler I really have enjoyed all your videos,and look forward to many more.
Thanks Randy and Merry Christmas to you as well, I have a lot of plans for 2019 so hopefully there will be plenty to watch.
Jason
Wow , 1600 lbs rated load capacity. Awesome
It makes great for people with quads or other heavy they may want to throw on top.
Jason
Awesome video!!
Awesome install video. Have been looking at them but too often i need to haul stuff that is too high for one of these. So i stick with a soft roll top. ATB
Nice install video. Looks very well made and great on your truck.
Thanks Steve
Jason
Merry Christmas...☃️🎄...
Thank you! Been interested in getting one of these!
And that my friends is how you double the value of an old ford.
Love that optional bed pan! Dialing in drawers in the back next ?
I don't plan to put any drawers in I don't think they would make efficient use of the space and I pretty much other than few things have it dialed in the way I want.
Jason
@@PrimalOutdoors good stuff. Enjoy !
Great video, good instructions. Looks like a long lasting unit. Let us know how it performs in heavy rain. I have a one piece cover on my truck. I can stand on it, and it never leaks. Great investment. Safe camping!
So far so good we have had a few days of rain and my firewood is dry🔥😂
Jason
Looks like a great addition to your truck ...Definitely helpful was the video....If I still owned my pickup truck I would without a doubt purchase the diamond cover....Great installation video..⛄️🌲⛄️🌲⛄️⛄️⛄️⛄️⛄️⛄️🌲....T.Gunz.....
Thanks Tommy I am glad you found the video helpful even if you don't have a truck to put one one, lol.
Jason
Ok...I think I need to get one for my F250! You should do a follow up in several months Jason and let us know how you feel about the product.
Kevin, I was thinking of doing exactly that around the 6 month mark it would also give me time to get a few organizational issues worked out that I want to do.
Jason
I like the looks of it.
I need to check and see IF they make one for my 1994 Lightning Ford 150 Narrow Short Bed model.....
I bet they can but of course I don't know for sure but contact them and find out.
Jason
Diamond back is only for putting your atv or UTV on the top of it.
I need one of those, now I just have to convince my wife I need one lol.
Haha, that can be a challenge at times
Jason
That be a nice cover, you like it? Thanks for the info on the installation keep warm Merry Christmas to you and your family here's to a new year. Peace.
Bruce I am loving it so far in fact more than I thought I would.
Jason
@@PrimalOutdoors that's great I'll pass it on thanks
nce job looks good .
Thank you
Jason
I would only get on for my ATV!
Did you find any rattling with the lock bars? Can't seem to get that figured out.
Jason, any word from our friend Casey at Coyote Works?
Yup, hope all is well.....
Did you get that double battery assembly figured out - or do you need to get photos from my Yukon rigging ?
Its all figured out just not finished yet.
Jason
Your forgot to install the "bulkhead" seal in the front of the bed which has NO plastic on it. Your cover will LEAK without that seal.
I didn't see you show any kind of seal on the cap. How good is it for keeping rain and water out of the bed ?
The seal is already on the cover from the factory. It's just like the seal on your vehicle door. Keeps water out.
As Scott said the seal is on the cover itself and so far it has done great as we have been getting a lot rain here the last few days.
Jason
ordering my cover for my nissan Frontier today and the drop in 13" toolbox. do you just let is sit on the rails or did you secure it ?
you can secure it with self tapping screws if necessary but otherwise its not secured.
Is it me or is the center piece a little off in color compare to the other two pieces?
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hey buddy I have a 98 Toyota four runner I want to put a small Awning on it do you have any suggestions on where to go who to talk to stuff like that I can’t seem to find one
thanks in advance
You can talk to Cascadia Vehicle Tents I am sure they could help you out or maybe point you in the right direction, just Google search the name and you will find their website.
Jason
What made you choose this instead of a camper top as im making that decision now.
Thanks in advance for opinion, anyone else who is thinking about it or was and picked one or the other comment and let me know.
I prefer the accessibility over a camper top. I have had camper tops before and I hate having to crawl up into the bed to get gear that is all the way to the front.
Jason
What about the road shower?
The Road Shower mostly likely is going to move to the trailer, but I haven't full decided yet. I have a good 3 or 4 months to figure it out, lol.
Jason
Cover looks to be worth more than the entire rig…just sayin’
How do you install/setup roof top tent with the racks and the bed cover?
I have seen it done but I didn't go that route.
Jason
@@PrimalOutdoors why didn't you go that route? thx for the response.
@@JK-ug7rm I have my RTT on a trailer which is my personal preference so there was not need to figure a way to install it on my DiamondBack.
Jason
I have Man parts, therefore I do not read instructions.
Ray Duerksen hell yeah
The link doesn't work.
Thanks for letting me know Kurt I have temporarily fixed it by just putting in the regular web address for Diamondback.
