Note - I don't know how/why i forgot to mention it, but these covers are made in the good ol' U.S.A. The DiamondBack Truck Bed Cover review you've been wanting - I have a lot of gear in my 2016 Tacoma, and to keep much of it secure in the bed, I really like the DiamondBack SE truck bed cover. If you're going to carry some expensive gear in your truck, it's best that you have a secure way to store it. The DiamondBack truck bed covers are as bomb proof as they come, and very versatile for people that actually still want to use their truck as a truck. Made in America out of aluminum diamond plate, it just doesn't get any better.

Last Line Of Defense I’m looking at one off these covers how dose it seal against the elements? Is dust or water ever a issue ? Thanks man great videos !
Mike, which Diamondback toolbox is that. The 8 or the 13?
@lastlineofdefense Update your affiliate link for the shovel
I love the tonneau but I want to put a fridge/slider in the bed. What is the max depth of the bed where the locking bars are?
Just installed my Diamondback and ordered my rack to install my Roofnest Falcon. I'm in Manitou Springs. Cant wait to get it up in the mountains. Also installed a Tailgate N Go made by a family in Grand Junction.
I really love that you make long detailed videos that makes actual sense. Its not too rushed at the same time you always hit the points that needed to be put out there for people know which is very significant. We are continuously building our tacoma because of how you have influenced us as well in terms of mods. Especially this diamondback. We finally made the purchase!! Plus the bluetti that just got here. We aim for the dometic next! Thank you for all your vlogs!! Youve inspired me and my husband a lot.
Great review. Well done. No annoying music or sound effects a plus!!
If you're contemplating getting a Diamondback cover, do it! I have the HD, I did it mainly for fear of a couple black bears climbing up and for work, but it is extremely secure and water tight. Great and informal video!
Hell yeeeeahhhh! I missed your review, looks slick on that truck brother, I must say I am jealous of that sand color and your skid plates!
Thanks man, I still really love the color - but sometimes I wish I had opted for the longer bed... The grass is always greener!
Last Line Of Defense yeah but the longer bed translates in to a longer wheel base which translates into less off-road capacity, right?
Been watching the Canadian Prepper for a few months now. Great info!
Great video! Really like that you always link everything your highlighting. Keep the videos coming!
Doing my research for a cover on my Tacoma and this came out. I'm pretty impressed. Looks like it's well worth the cost of admission.
Thanks for the very detailed video. You're the only one who has reviewed the DiamondBack in such detail.

I had one of these Diamond Back covers on my '05 Sport Trac and it was valuable in regards to being theft proof. Prior to installing it the contents of my bed could be stolen even with the soft tonneau cover. Another item I installed was the swing out cage that extended the bed another couple feet when allowing the tailgate to lie in the open position. This allowed me to load fire wood onto the tailgate and keep camping gear dry underneath the Diamond Back. We had lots of camping gear and would often load the excess on top of the Diamond Back and secure it with a heavy duty cargo net. Presently I own a SUV but you got me thinking about buying another pick up and it seems like the Tacoma TRD is an excellent choice.
Dude, I really like your videos!(especially the truck videos) But in general I like your explanations and delivery of the information. Well done man!
Super slick set up. And you answered my truck camping question I was planning on asking. You've got some of the fanciest chickens I've seen! Lol, looking forward to your winter load out and especially your 0 degree camping video. Be a good time to see some of your gear in action. Happy New Years!
You inspired me to get this bed cover and I just installed it ...pretty easy installation. It looks great now, thanks.
Love your setup man, awesome location/truck/weapons/EDC setup. Just dope dude. Keep up the awesome videos!
Good video, I've been contemplating buying the diamond back for "16 Tundra". I first saw this also from Canadian prepare, but after your review of it, I'm sold. Good review brother. Thanks
We have the same truck. I'm getting this cover. Thanks Mike

@@LastLineOfDefense What was the price for the cover. thanks
Love the videos brother. Happy new year!
Informative review. I've been looking at bed covers on my tacoma and this one I hadn't seen anywhere until i came across your video.
I have had this on both of my Turndra. The HD is awesome and the customer service is great. My key broke and one got shipped the next day. Great product.
That Quicksand color on the Tacoma is pure win...
That’s my color truck!
Chris Ruiz It’s cool, but I wish they permanently kept the Voodoo Blue on the pro.
Love it, I definitely need one of these to secure odds and ends, or even groceries if necessary, it looks damn good too, light, secure and rough tough looking.
Awesome stuff man. Keep the great content coming.
Good video man! I've emailed you and talked about gun stuff before but this video helped me decide on my bed cover. I ordered an SE model yesterday for my Limited Tundra!
I saw this on Canadian Prepper's channel as well. I liked it then and I still like it. Sweet tonneau cover! I'd like to pick up one for my Silverado. Keep up the great work!
beautiful truck and nice review. I like how your soo calm n relax and explain everything in dept about the cover.
Another fantastic vid! Well done. Super thorough!
Thanks Michael!
Great review. You covered every contingency I was thinking about. Thanks!
Extremely happy with my diamond back cover. Like the RTT addition
Awesome video sir ! I just bought a 2017 F150 and this is exactly what I was looking for. Great review.
So torn between one of these and a camper shell. Love that you. Can take this off by yourself but more room with a shell
Man, I love those covers. I have to stop saying I need to get one and just get one!
thank you sir .always enjoy watching your videos.....
I own the Diamondback HD. I wish I would have found this video before.
I love my cover. Your video is awesome and very in depth.
Tyler Murphy you wish you would got the light weight version instead?
GREAT review Brother and never worry about the time length of a good video!
Great review. Will look at that cover for my Sport Trac. Your loadout is thorough. Nice job. I use plastic buckets too.
Great review man. I appreciate the details! Never seen your videos before but I've now subscribed and will see what els you've got. Thanks!
I just ordered this! Thanks for the thorough review.
Thanks for an informative and enjoyable vid on the cover. I have been considering the Diamondback.
You are the gear king in CZcams rocking it all the time learn a lot from your videos😃👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
You do a great job describing this cover.
Great great review. Really looking forward to your truck camping video and how things work with the truck cover installed.
Man I love how secured and armored this thing is!
Awesome truck! I'll consider one of those for my Nissan Frontier. Good information.
I know it's been said but more Tacoma stuff. Camping, accessories, Gun compatible stuff etc. great job
Been following this long and coming here to comment about how far you've come.
Excellent review thank you! I have a 2015 and guns, generator, etc etc and you helped me make a decision! Excellent job and love the chickens!
I enjoyed watching your video. You did a very good job of describing the cover and all of the details someone would need to know. I could go on but really just wanted to say KUDOS.
I have a Tundra TRD Pro, I'm looking at getting one just like that "black" for sure! My friend has one for his F-150 he went with the silver one. The only problem he told me that he was having was the ship time because the company is out of Philadelphia, and we live in the western US. Great product, I would highly recommend it!
I owned one for 4 years on my Titan XD PR. Which was a great truck except for all the mechanical failures nearly monthly. Finally I had to take the hit on a trade and got a Ram. Shorter bed will mean new cover. I had the Rear Window guard on my cover also just in case I wanted to tie stuff down on top.. which I had several times.. Even though it was a pain to install due to the slide rails on the Titan... which were great also... I will definitely be ordering one for my new Ram.. I did have the front panel try to slide off once but that was my fault for not locking the handle which allowed it to rotate to the open position and release the latches.. So be careful that you always lock the handle it will be no problem.
Great video man! This answered all my questions!
Thanks for the review buddy, I'll be ordering one for my new truck very soon. Take care, stay safe.
Love your videos! I'm low tech with a 2012 Taco with camper shell and RTT. Thank you for the videos. Quit apologizing for how cool your life is. Sorry for the chickens...Sorry for the coyotes... sorry for my dog...sorry for the hummingbirds?... Who apologizes for hummingbirds?
Dope gear, and solid review! Thanks!
haha, loved how you mentioned grandpa truck. My wife hates the look of a truck with those full size Leer cappers, she calls them old man trucks, i don't necessarily like the look of them, but i do really love that i can use the entire space to fit everything i need to, right now i have a lid type cover, its all one big lid cover, no sections, it hinges an lifts up at the rear window of my truck, my generator for camping literally just barely fits in the exact right place. I'm still looking for a cover that i really love and for to fit my needs, these diamondback covers might just be what i'm looking for, but i'm still not crazy about the tri folding type covers
Excellent and thorough review
I'm looking forward to your winter camping video. I have been outfitting my Xterra and my wife and I have been doing some camping in that. We just spent an entire weekend in Steamboat Springs over the new year and slept in the X with -4 temps at night. Looking forward to your setup. Let me know if you want some more camping friends.
such a great, informative video. super helpful and some very functional idea!
I was torn between getting a 2017 Ridgeline or the Taco. Watching your vids are really leaning toward the Taco, this bed cover is awesome.
solid review, was debating on an HD for my raptor, I'm sold , thx
Pretty sweet!! Think I'm gonna have to pick one up also. GF's tired of my back seat being full of random crap/gear lol.
excellent video going to order one soon for my 2019 Tacoma off road thx
No one needs to know the year and trim of your truck bud
I love how the Chicken disappears at 21:58 :D
*blasts the chicken*
It's what's for dinner.
Great review, calling DiamondBack now to buy one.
Love the video. Thanks for the detailed info. With your mods and your rooftop tent attached, What kind of fuel economy are you getting on average?
love the tacoma videos
Psyched I stumbled across your videos. Good stuff man, you have great taste.
Great videos man- have been really enjoying your channel and content. In regards to the RotoPax and fuel storage - what's your turn over process or what kind of fuel stabilization are you using? Meaning how often are you cycling said fuel. Thanks and keep cranking out bad ass vids man!
I share the same opinion about toppers. Ive been debating this cover vs a shell. I traded my f350 for a toyota. I dont haul 5ers or goosenecks anymore. This cover is awesome. It has the benefits of a flat bed and a normal bed. Pretty ballzy to leave a firearm in there. You need a Ravelco. Google your closest dealer.
Outstanding video sir!
Great video man! You’ve sold me on one!
13:50 That was some impressive videography. I appreciate these truck gear episodes.
Great review... You answered every question I had except one, does it keep the rain out? Any leaks?
Great video! Was going to get the BakFlip for my F350 but changed my mind after watching this review. Beautiful area, what state are you in?
Awesome review! I just picked up my '18 TRD Off-Road yesterday and have spoken with DiamondBack to get the process started on a HD cover. Also looking at the cross bins; debating the 8" and 13". Looks like you have the 8". If so, can you let me know how much clearance you have under it? I'm curious if the 7.25" MTM ammo/utility tubs would fit underneath. Looks like there's plenty enough space, but just wanting to make sure.
super cool stuff, appreciate the detail
I have to say you did and excellent job explaining everything, I feel confident in my future purchase of the Diamondback and a few other things. Had you ever wished you purchased the HD version instead? I never plan to have ATVs on my tundra but dont want to pay the "darn I should have got the better one" game either.
Great vid man
Great Video! very informative. I bought the cover recently and love it. Wish i would have bout the bin.How is the in mounted?
That was a really great review. Thank you.
I am curious if there is enough room underneath the toolbox for a Decked storage system.
Awesome cover, couple of questions. Is that small shelf that you keep the get home pack an add on or something that comes with the cover? Also you have an orange ratchet strap across the center of the bed. Is that part of the standard install or something you added to help stop it from swaying or something?
No need to apologize for the chickens. I find them inviting. And good review on the tonneau cover because the one I currently have is a bit of an inconvenience when I can only get access to the bed and folding open the tonneau by opening the tailgate. I'll definitely keep dropping by for more ideas for accessorizing my truck (not to the exact tee, of course).
Hey Mike,
I was wondering if you still have a discount code for the Diamondback? Thanks in advance.
-Nick-
Sweet cover, a Tacoma is such an amazing truck you can help but want the best for it, if I had similar needs as you I would probably get this but since I use my truck bed almost everyday to load large objects into I like my roll up,Velcro cover, this cover featured here would create to much of an obstruction and I wouldn't be able to get large items in without taking the whole dang cover off!
Great review. Did you have to make a modification to the cover to also attach your rack?
Very helpful, thanks for the info!
Love it! I saw you got a rooftop tent recently. Can you do a video on how you like it/how it mounts up to your rig?
Great video..i will be getting this as well. Thank you
Great bed cover bro thxx for the video, I saw you put racks on top of it and a tent..., is ur cover bed still the HC or the HD model?
I came to see a Diamondback in action. I stayed for the guy to show off his brand new “gear” he’s never used before. Well, thanks for the detailed video on the DB. I’m excited for mine to arrive.
Ha, gear is always new at some point. Check my other videos for heavily used in action. 🍻
@@LastLineOfDefense just bustin ya Bs. Just something I’ve noticed with some of these gear or outdoor type channels. Like the gear is brand new and basically kept on display.. I’ve seen some of your videos. You’re a good honest guy and very thorough on the diamondbacks and tundra stuff so thank you for that.
Dude that is awesome. Might get one for my Toyota.
I love mine!
I ordered my diamond back today and gave you a shout out! Will be posting a video on my page!
Awesome video, thanks for sharing.
Nice detailed review. Thank you
Awesome review!
I love that sog bag!! perfect for an ar!
Thanks brother! Just picked up a '23 tundra and wanted to see your thoughts on the black diamond covers. Really helped sell my wife on it too 🤙🤘✌️
Great review, how has it been holding up? It looks like the corners didn’t sit flat, do they sit flat when fully locked?
Cool thanks for the great review. I just ordered the 2018 in quicksand. If you take just the back part off, can a bike fit over the tailgate?
Nice cover. I went with the BakFlip G2 on my truck. It's not exactly water tight, though. But, doesn't matter to me, since I keep everything in plastic tubs
Great video. Going to buy one for my Taco. Question is....do I get it Line-X coated or bare aluminum and why?
