Completely custom truck cover!
After the problems with all the birds nearby apparently aiming for my truck (sometimes I'd come out to the truck and find 4-5 new "splatter marks", and the problems with the acidic water coming out of the sprinklers and damaging the clearcoat, and the worries that another hail storm is going to mess with the paint job I worked so hard for... I decided that it would be a worthwild investment to have a custom truck cover made up. It'll be made by Covercraft, and I'm using the Weathersheild HD material, which is very resistant to the sun, bird poop, acidic rain, snow, door dings, and other "harms of nature" so they are making one custom fit to the truck and all its "accessories" like the winch, nerf bars, roll bar, lights on top, etc.
Man I can't wait to get it, but they say it'll be towards the end of the month... but worth the wait I'm sure .
Took me about 4 hours to take all the dimensions and record them on to the computer for them to make it up... also included some dimensions not shown in the pictures, but it is gonna be awesome.

Could you get a garage or enclosed carport? :o I was looking for a cover for my Focus to apply on each night, but then realized it's not that good for the surface (debris on the cover can inflict scratches in the clearcoat),... I just didn't want to deal with that so I let her sit outside each night... not having a garage sucks!
I think that's supercool though, are you gonna have any designs ON the truck cover? Any sort of personalization?

no designs on the cover, other then the logo of the company that made the cover, LOL.
Unfortunately I live in an apartment, they have carports available but just like every single garage (except specialty garages, etc.) in the denver area, they have 7' doors, and hte carports aren't nearly long enough so I wouldn't fit heightwise or lengthwise... since the truck is about 8' tall, not really an option

There are dozens in my area, some of which look pretty good.

I knew I had seen that someplace before, to avoid the hassle of putting it on and off just cut some flaps for windows and drive it with the cover on. Is it radiation proof?
