If you’re a truck enthusiast as we are, you’ve probably been wondering…how do I get my quads and my boat to the lake this weekend without having to use my trailer, and Johnny’s truck? Well, we have the answer. It’s the Diamondback ATV Truck Cover. Click on the link above and watch this video, it will simply blow your mind. And if you’re a construction buff, you can always easily remove the ATV accessories and mount a ladder rack and a cab guard to haul your work stuff.
Whether you’ve got a mid-size truck, a full size short bed or a long bed pickup, there’s a Diamondback Truck Tonneau Cover to fit your needs. It’s not really a traditional tonneau cover as you would imagine a tonneau cover, and it’s not really a tonneau cover at all, it’s a folding truck cover that uses a stable center piece to hold to panels, front and rear, one opening from the bulkhead or near the cab, and the other opening from the tailgate, both towards the center piece. And there’s no drilling in most cases.
Mounting the Diamondback cover is easy. First thing you do is use C-clamps, two on each side, to mount the center piece. Put on the clamps loosely but tight enough so you can mount the panels. Stand up in the truck with one panel at a time, and at a 90 degree angle shimmy the panel onto the attachment with the pin. Once you get the panel on there, slam that sucker into place. Once you fold the panel down, the pin on the panel attachment will hold it in place, making it impossible for the panel to come loose. Repeat this action for the second panel, and once you get both panels on, get down off the truck, check 360 degrees around the rails, make sure it’s all lined up the way you want it, and crank down those C-clamps nice and tight. Next thing you want to do is adjust the locking rods to make sure you get a nice tight fit. Basically what you want is for the black rubber piece on the end of the rod to hit the bottom of the rail and stop. Once the panel is closed and you find the right setting, you should have to crank the panel knob to get it to close, it shouldn’t be easy because you want that locking rod to be forced under the rail with your strength, and once you force it under the rail, it will pull the panel down, forcing the rubber seal under the perimeter of the rail to seal the bed, protecting it from moving during driving and from water entering the bed.
Once you’ve completed this task, follow basic instructions and mount any accessories that you’ve purchased, either for the ATV package which includes adapter bars, ramps and rails, or a cab guard or ladder rack. Diamondback also offers other accessories such as cargo boxes for under the cover and light bars. And if you need more tie downs, you can always purchase those extra cleats separately and mount them yourself where you want them, just make sure to drill where you’re able to attach the nut on the other side of the aluminum. You should always check under any piece of aluminum you’re drilling into to assure that you’re able to complete the task without issues.
The Diamondback ATV package comes standard with the Diamondback HD cover and 12 tie down cleats pre-installed and it holds up to 1600 lbs, so don’t be shy to ride your ATV’s right up on the truck up against the rails and tie that baby down nice and tight.
