Idol if you're coming to QC sa Banawe ang showroom of Carryboy and Campershell. You can also find other brands. I heard the Campershell brand na roll-up cover is P30+k daw. And the Canopy (like the pagong) cover is P50+k

I have a retractable bed cover (called roller-up, by carryboy) and I can load both on the bed or attached the bike via its fork to the rail of the bed. I just open my retractable bed cover/roller up to be able to set my bike up. I designed a sturdy bike fork setter (using the front skewers) similar to the removable/detachable yakima type. I drilled the rail of the bed so i can permanently screw the fixture. It also serves as a fixture for tying knots when securing things in my pick up bed.  other view: I have other items in the bed so I just cover it with a plastic turf.  Hope this helps. |

Galing!
I wish I could fabricate stuff like that
Probem lang , there are no retractable bed covers for the strada
Sloping kasi yung edges nung bed
But you just gave me a neat idea

yeah, I think that's the problem with the latest strada (sloping curved side rail bed). it so happened I have a friend who has a machine shop. i made an over sized mounting so it would be very sturdy. its over designed (meaning very high factor or safety in the design). Tested it on long rides (cebu to bacolod via dumaguete drive (7- 8 hour drives on rough roads as well. held up even though odometer registers 110 km/h (but flat and straight asphalt road for this speed).
What's good about designing it yourself is that you chose how you will mount it.

Im a semi-lurker semi-contributor at www.tsikot.com. check out the dmax owner threads. a member uses "trapal" type cover that you can easily roll or fold if you have big items. cheaper way too. and the fastening system? magic tape or velco tape around the top rails. problem with fiber glass covers are usually when you have riders at the back, its hard what to do or where to put it. i always go for function over form so i opted for the roller up type. |
