Thumbs up Diamondback HD ATV carrying Tonneau cover

For those that are interested in what it looks like, I just installed the aluminum Diamondback HD ATV cover for my Power Wagon. Really good American made stuff. Not in the pictures are the two folding 12-foot aluminum ramps to get the ATV/Motorcycle on top, or the extension to turn the top effectively into a nine foot bed.

Looks sharp Zybane! Glad you posted this, we literally just ordered this today!

How was the installation? Any tips or warnings we should know about?

Our 2500 Sierra is the dark Iridium gray, so should look similar to your setup

I have the SE on my 2015 Ram 2500 Cummins and love it. Great cover and the company is outstanding to work with.

I have an SE on my F150 and love it. I like the finish you got on your HD but our silver aluminum matches the Airsteam a bit better��

Great stuff guys. As for installation, it's super easy. Really the only things I'd mention are:

1. Ensure the panels are fully seated on the hinges as not to damage the locking tabs.
2. Slightly compress the covers and then make the locking rod height adjustment to have a tight fit of the covers.

Routine tightening is also necessary. Also make sure the locking bars do not come in contact with the sidewall. Minor adjustments are required from time to time.

For whatever reason, I can't post a pic of mine on my Denali HD. Maybe the image file size is too large, but it's not giving me a message that indicates so.

Anyway, I have the atv kit for extending the bed and hauling two atvs. I get a lot of body roll. Does anyone haul two atvs with the AS? If so, are you using an extended shank?
