Speaker 1: Today on this 2018 Toyota Tundra, we'll be having a look at and showing you how to install the BAKFlip MX4 hard tonneau cover, part number BAK48409.Here's what our tonneau cover looks like installed. Now the main reason you're going to want a tonneau cover like this one, is that it'll help protect the contents of your truck bed from the elements. And when you combine it with a locking tailgate such as this one, you can help protect it from theft and tampering as well.This cover has a nice sleek profile that matches the bed of our truck. The tonneau cover has a nice lightweight, but yet still sturdy aluminum construction. And also has a nice matte black powder coat finish. Now unlike soft tonneau covers this one with its half inch thick aluminum panels, is rated to support up to 400 pounds of evenly distributed weight.
Not only is the tonneau cover itself aluminum, but so are the mounting rails. And by being aluminum that means we don't have to worry about rust occurring on down the road.Opposed to other tonneau covers out there, especially soft ones that attach via snaps. This one is super easy to use and to get in fully open position. We'll simply open our tailgate. With our tailgate open, we can now pull down on the cable to release the latch and flip it forward.
We'll pull down on the latch on the second panel as well and flip it forward again. If we have a tall item and we want to put it in the bed of our truck, but yet still be able to see out of our back window. We can easily store the tonneau cover in the halfway open position.We'll undo our buckle. Move it forward and buckle it in this location. We'll do the same on both sides.
With it buckled, you can't pull it open. So it'll stay secure in this position as we're driving. If we need full bed access to our truck, that's not a problem. We'll undo our cable to release the latch, lift up. Before we rest it against the cab of our truck, you'll see that there are padded sections to protect our back window and the paint on our truck.We'll now unclip our prop rod.
We'll slide it into this slot here. Loosen the but, pull down, tighten the nut and this will keep our tonneau cover from going back down into our bed. We'll do the same on both sides. With it in its fully opened position, you can see we have full truck bed access now. Our rails only stick out about an inch and a half from the side of our bed side cab here to the end of the rail. Each one of our rails does have an included drain to help get any water out from the rails and not into the bed of your truck.This tonneau cover and the rails have multiple rubber seals to help prevent any moisture from getting inside the bed of the truck when its in the closed position. This will help keep your contents dry.Now if you ever need to remove your tonneau cover, it's not a big deal. We can easily remove it with a simple 9/16 socket. Also, it doesn't interfere with any of our attachment points for our cargo tie downs either. We still have full access to all four of our tie down locations in this truck.Unlike some other tonneau covers out there, with our tonneau cover fully down, we can still close our tailgate. This tonneau cover is also compatible with the BAKBox 2 collapsible truck bed tool box, part number BAK92401 on our website.Now when we directly compare this to another tonneau cover that's very similar the Extang solid fold 2.0. This is a little bit more durable option because it's constructed of aluminum, whereas the Extang has a plastic construction for the top of it. Now that we've gone over some features, we'll show you how to get it installed.To begin our install, we went ahead and laid out our parts in the area that we're going to be working. So we have our rails on each side of the truck. And we went ahead and cleaned off our bulkhead on the front of our bed with some rubbing alcohol.Now we'll take our weather seal and we'll peal off one end of it a little bit. We'll apply it on top of our bulkhead right up against our factory bed rail caps. If you have a plastic drop in bed liner, you don't need to install this. But since we don't, we'll be using it. As we get to the end of it, we'll cut off the excess using a utility knife or a pair of scissors.Now we'll take our rail with our tailgate closed. We'll set it on top of our bed side and we'll slide it as far forward as possible. Now we'll take our

on a scale of 1-10 how hard would you rate the install process?
the video is very straightforward and looks simple enough of an install to complete. I'm a beginner when it comes to this.

[@etrailer]

This installation is about a 3 on the difficulty scale. It is not difficult at all. The trickiest part of the installation is making sure the panels are lined up from side to side and front to back.
