About
BAK Industries is a company that was founded by Julian and Ivan Maimin in the late 1980's in Los Angeles. Its mission back then was to manufacture an inexpensive bedliner to protect the back of a pickup truck. Through the innovation of creating specially designed modular molds, Julian and Ivan literally built a facility to produce bedliners that had never been seen or even heard of before. Essentially, they single handedly changed the landscape of the bedliner market as we all know it today.
BAK Industries was the first company to ever produce bedliners for the export market and the first to ever make truck protection for double cab vehicles. By the mid 1990's BAK Industries was shipping bedliners to over 35 countries world wide.
It has always been a passion for solving problems and an intimate understanding and knowledge of the truck accessory market that have allowed BAK Industries to continually lead the way in innovative truck accessories. Even within the industry inner circles, BAK is well known for always coming to market with the most creative and exciting products ever seen. Everyone always wants t know what BAK has up their sleeve and what's next in the way of "what's cool" in the tonneau cover arena.
Over the past 2 decades BAK Industries has grown to be one of the most respected and well known brand names in the industry, producing tonneau covers and related accessories on a scale that supports the entire globe. BAK manufactures for both original equipment and the aftermarket and has distribution point in all 50 states of the USA as well as Canada, Mexico, Central and South America, Europe and the Middle East.
Some of our most well known products include BakFlip Tonneau Covers, RollBak Tonneau Covers, Bakliner Truck Bedliners and ProCaps bed rail protection.

I just found your tailgate storage box. I would like one that fits a 2001 Chevy Blazer S-10. I think if there were only 2 compartments it would fit great. I am a ham radio operator and we do a lot of disaster work and public safety work this would really help storing a radio, coax, and power supply. If you can please contact me to see if this is available.
Thanks

I just bought an F1 cover for my F250. The main reason I bought the F1 is that the cover was supposed to be cooler. I know the Texas sun is hotter than most places but I feel very little difference to the touch than the G1 that was on my F150.
I expected it to be cooler to the touch.
I think I did a better job of installing this one by myself than the dealer that installed the G1.

The F1 is a composite (fiberglass / polymer mix) cover and stays considerably cooler than it’s aluminum siblings, the G2 and HD. It is still black though, and will get hot in the sun.
