Nice cover and all, but what I LOVE on the video is the fact the truck bed is dirty - finally someone using the truck not for groceries, but for truck-things :)

Rivian owner here with my original Rivian tonneau still working perfectly. It started to make nasty squealing sounds a few months ago, it turned out to be a rock stuck between a couple slats - cleaned it thoroughly, and it’s back to flawless operation. (And we’ve dumped dirt, gravel, and mulch into the bed and closed the tonneau over it all dirty multiple times. The gravel load was probably the source of the squeal-causing rock.)

Nearest I've got to this is running the cables and installing permanent power for a dashcam on our car and the next will be replacing bent handlebars and installing wind deflectors on my CBF125 but I really enjoyed the detail you've gone into with these videos!

I've become very fond of the crimp-on connectors with heat-shrink insulation. They include adhesive to strengthen the physical connection as well!

More cable than you are going to need is always a good thing. Also, I would absolutely consider one of those if I were buying a truck. I'd need some kind of bed cover anyway. This one is pretty darned sweet!

Any bed cover is worth every penny you spend on them. I've bought in 1998 a new 1998 gmc 2500 and installed a bedliner and a bed cap in 1998 and last month march 2024 . I took the bedlinder off to install a deck system in and there was no scratches or rust inside the bed I was amazed the bed looked brand new. The installer put down padding down before they installed the bedliner to prevent scratches. ❤❤🤙🤙. You've done a great job protecting your bed. Both installations looks awesome 🤙🤙

Nikki, I think you may need to charge your 12V battery a bit. The ideal voltage is 12.8V for a fully charged battery and in charging it will actually go past 13V and how much depends on being flooded or AGM battery.

Using the vent hole is way better than drilling. I always prefer to use those. Reusing wiring harness is really hard for a novice and can result in other issues. I dont think you should appologize or feel uncomfortable about using them for user installed add-on mods.

Nice truck!! But nobody’s making camper shells over here anymore!! The only reason I would consider one would be to buy a dismountable camper and use the truck as the car!!

8:47 whoa, red flag goin' up. you should first put the screw in by hand to make sure it is properly installed, otherwise you might end up cross-threading it, which wouldn't be good. when the mechanic came to change the wheels on the forklift i drive at work, one of the wheel nuts was cross-threaded, and he couldn't get the nut back on. i ended up driving that forklift with a wheel nut missing for several weeks before the mechanic came back to replace the stud and put on a new nut. 16:14 "... and down the other side" - LOL!

The old one had some leaks - but we're hoping the new one will be better. As with any truck bed, there's a risk of water ingress.

As we've detailed plenty on the channel, the Truck is primarily used as a camera truck (when we're filming thing) and also as a crew vehicle (transporting people and the gear that we use for long-distance road trips for filming events and reveals). It's actually my personal truck too - I pay for it with my own money - so we use it for hauling animal feed, gardening equipment, and wood for my wife - Nikki. (FWIW, we've towed 4x times in the month we've had it, and carried a lot more in the bed, too! )

Is that not unattractive building behind you in England or America? If you’re in America, I can understand the use of a truck. It’s an everyday occurrence over there, but it isn’t over here in England!!
