Okay dont laugh

But I am thinking of selling my camo 870 shotgun and buying a red leer tonneau cover. They said they would sell it to me for 250. And it looks sharp. I think it would fit my truck really nicely. What do you guys think?? Extra shotgun or or tonneau cover?

[myoung84]

I would do it!

[oefootball_70]

That is what I am thinking. Only thing is, it is a little drive. My Grandma lives near by, so if I can whip up a reason to drive down I might have a chance at not ruffling my wives feathers too bad.

down in Springfield? :D

You would get more use from the cover.

[oefootball_70]

Yeah in Springfield. You coming to olathe anytime soon? Want to pick it up for me :)

[0212353]

pic it up? I live in St Louis! LOL

and nah........I've only been to Olathe 3 times......last 2 were for work - and I don't plan on going to that site again. Well, not anytime soon anyway!

[oefootball_70]

I know, but I remember you said you came to Olathe one time for work. lol. It was a joke. Didn't you buy one of your trucks out here?

[0212353]

no, but when I went to Olathe the first time (for work), I called the dealer on the way home - worked up a good part of the deal........2 days later I talked the wife into it. :D

I would do it dude.

[oefootball_70]

Well this might happen, my Grandma's birthday is saturday. And my mom just texted me to ask if I want to go down there with her and dad to surprise her.

Now how long does an install take? Could I do it with basic hand tools? Or am I going to need power tools?

What if my parents end up driving the expedition. Could we strap it to the top? Is that safe?

[myoung84]

I would assume it just clamps to the bed rails like any other cover. You should be able to install with a wrench or socket, probably about a 9/16. I wouldn't trust strapping it to the roof of anything either...

[Bigtman07]

Yup Very Easy. I have one. If it is the low profile caps and not like a camper shell you will need a basic ratchet and adjustable wrench. Too bad Mine wasn't red I would trade you. lol I am looking for a good shot gun. lol

[BMRbrnSNRbrd]

Basic hand tools should do it. Be a good son and offer to drive :D

[oefootball_70]

Lol, they would know something was up. And my Mom hates my truck. She is short. Some how I ended up 6'6" so I sit right into my truck. She has to climb up in it. And mpg is 12-16 in my truck compared to 16-20 in expedition.

[Bigtman07]

Yup very true. I got the same random Gene. My mom is 5'6 " and my dad is 5'5" so how I got 6'1" I dunno. lol

[BMRbrnSNRbrd]

The mail man was 6'2".

[myoung84]

:love62: :hump:

[oefootball_70]

The mail man was 6'2".

:love62: :hump:

:upyours::upyours::upyours:

Lol

[oklahemi]

my are was 4 clamps that used a single 1/2 bolt to attach it to the truck. i could have the clamps off in a matter of minutes, putting it on takes a but more time due to alignment but still not bad maybe 10 minutes on a bad day

[oefootball_70]

Okay, so if I bring a socket set I will be fine?

[Laramie1997]

WTH man? You come down here on Saturday night.... Group of the gear heads are going to a bar in town that night... You must show your face. :D

[oefootball_70]

Oh shit son. I might have to do that. Plans are in the works. I will PM you my cell number. Shoot me some details.
