SUT tonneau covers or after market??

When open on th efactory cover, it does not touch anything. however, you don't want this open while loaded down. It won't stay open either. This way no one gets their hands shopped off.

While we're discussing all these attributes one thing I learned about this rack/cover combo is that when you open it, you don't want to maintain control of the lid as it opens. Once it gets going, there's a lot of momemtum from the weight of the rack, and the light-duty aluminum piano hinge is not meant to withstand that type of abuse. Not to mention that the tonneau itself is just a very thin-guage skin wrapped around a styrofoam core.

Hmmmm, all of this has me thinking that maybe I need to wait a bit. A friend of mine is putting together a list of much wanted items for Hummers to possibly start a business supplying the "odd" items that do not exist but are wanted!

He is in the process of creating a slant back for the SUT and wants to use mine as a moving experiment/advertisement. I've also asked him to create some sort of rear tent attachment so the SUT rear can be covered at nights for sleeping, etc.

Anyone else have ideas? I'm creating a list!!

Tim, your Gobi didn't attach to the bed rails. What did it attach to and do you have a close-up pic of it? I'm thinking about a Gobi for the rear, but would like to know. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

I have the gobi bed rack from Tim, it attaches to the tonneau or the bed rails, you just have to tell gobi which way you are going to mount it. it comes w/ new shocks if you mount it to the tonneau so it will still lift itsself. It rocks--I highly reccommend it as so many things dont seem to fit in the bed and you can just strp them to the bed rack.
