Default Truck Cap or Not???

K so i was driving down the road today and my roll up tonneau cover busted and started flapping everywhere doing 75. I plan on taking it off and getting something different and i want to know what y'all think. I want to get a truck cap because we all know its hard fitting tall objects into our rangers cuz the boxes aint that high and having the security of a cover. Thats why i want a truck cap, that and i do a lot of camping so it would be nice. Let me know what you guys think. thanks

I did but after i thought about it i dont think it would be enough protection, i have 400 dollars worth of tools in the back of my truck and thats kind of why i want to get a truck cap so i can lock them up

I say go for it. You can always take it off if you need to for any reason. I have been wanting one, too. And maybe this to go with it:

I have a bedrug in the back of mine, just throw a couple blankets/sleeping bags down for more padding, a lot cheaper then the inflatable bed mattress thing.

i have one on my truck and just love it. the added security of being able to lock things up is a big piece of mind. check out my post in the photo section , i only paid $100 for the lear that's on mine.
