By Julian Maimin | Published: March 9, 2010

In the beginning, tonneau covers were nothing but cheesy tarps. Then came the advent of the one piece fiberglass tonneau cover that took the industry by storm. Their popularity still exists to this day in the way of ARE, Leer, Undercover, Snug Lid etc. However, having owned one of these before, I can tell you [...]

Tonneau covers for the seasons

By Julian Maimin | Published: March 5, 2010

Depending on where you are from, your reason for owning a tonneau cover may vary considerably. I know that where I live in LA, it rarely ever snows and only occasionally rains, so the elements are not as important for me as perhaps someone living in Michigan.
