I think these trucks look much better with cover than without.

Do you have it on the right way round? The cammo blotches are not lining up from top to bed? Otherwise looking great!

Your truck looks great! Appears flaps are all in correct orientation to me.

No It's on right...the rear curtain has more rubber tension rope then the front...plus, the folds on the sides overlap so that forward moment and wind will travel over the fold and not get underneath it.
i got it right the first try...

this is is a newer style top I believe...the bows are steel, but don't require cinching straps on the over head bars....I do believe anyway, unless they were missing, it was not in the kit anyway...but my -10 is newer but does not show very good pics.
the poles use a slip in clip and has 2 buttons that engage when you slide the poles together.
the only real PITA was dropping the spare tire down to get the front done...as the TM says must be done, but no biggie.

there are straps of some sort that are supposed to attach to the lower part of the tube I guess, but none in the kit, anyone have pics of what these look like?
A total of 6 it looks like
