Specs:
The Full-Metal JackRabbit retractable tonneau cover protects your cargo and truck bed from the elements. The durable cover is constructed of heavy-duty aluminum panels with weather-resistant materials that help keep dirt and water out of your bed. The cover locks every 12" along the rails, and it retracts easily with the turn of handle.
Retractable Cover with Built-In Pull Strap
The Full-Metal JackRabbit retracts with the turn of a handle. The handle - located on the key latch at the tailgate end of the cover - activates a heavy-duty tension spring. This spring automatically retracts the cover into the canister at the bulkhead of your truck bed. A built-in pull strap helps you extend the cover over your bed. As you pull, the tonneau cover will engage the side rails at 12" intervals.
This feature enables you to carry tall or long items that overlap your tailgate while still covering cargo, such as a toolbox, stored closer to the bulkhead of the truck.
A hook-and-loop fastener strip is included to secure the pull strap up and off of your bed floor. You can also use the rear plate of the tonneau cover to pull it closed.
Angled Canister
The cover retracts into a compact, angled canister located at the front of your truck bed. This canister protects the retracted cover from the elements, and with the cover stored in the canister you'll have unrestricted visibility out of your rear window. The angled design of the canister also allows for maximum clearance for your tools and cargo so there is no need to remove the cover to haul cargo.
Water Management System
The Full-Metal JackRabbit rails feature a water management system that channels excess water into the canister. This prevents water from getting into your bed or freezing in your tonneau cover rails during cold temperatures. Drain tubes attached to the bottom of the canister remove water through the OE drain holes in the floor of your truck bed.
Flush-Mount Design
The Full-Metal JackRabbit side rails mount level with your truck bed rails for a flush appearance. This flush-mount design is aerodynamic to reduce wind drag, and it helps to improve gas mileage when the cover is closed.
Even with the flush-mount design, the cover fits over most fifth-wheel trailer hitches. Note: The highest point of the fifth-wheel hitch must be at least 2" below the bed rails.
Heavy-Duty Construction
The cover and rails are constructed of heavy-gauge extruded aluminum with a black powder coat finish. A silicon weather hinge creates a tight seal between each panel to prevent water and dirt from entering the truck bed. A large seal at the rear of the bed closes between the cover and tailgate to create a barrier to prevent water from entering the truck bed.
Security
The Full-Metal Jackrabbit provides excellent protection for your cargo when used in conjunction with a closed and locked tailgate. The heavy-gauge aluminum panels are better at preventing theft when compared with soft covers that can be cut or punctured with a knife.
No-Drill Installation
To install the cover, set the canister in your truck bed and support it with a box or other sturdy object. Slide the cover side rails into the canister until they are fully seated in the rail grips while also threading the cover into the channels in the rails. Secure the rails to the canister with bolts and washers.
Secure the rails to your truck bed side rails using 2 clamps per side. Slide the clamp onto the rail, flip the pivot arm up so it is under the bed rail lip, and tighten the clamp in place. Shims are included for trucks with tapered beds.
Each clamp at the tailgate end of the rails has a supplemental kickstand to help level the rails and prevent overtightening during installation. To install the kickstand, simply slide it into the grip handle at the bottom of the clamp. Rotate the kickstand so the foot rests squarely against the side wall of the truck bed, and tighten in place.
Mount the top cover plate to the canister with the included hardware. Attach the drain tubes to the canister and route each tube out of the OEM drain holes in the floor of your bed.
To hold the pull strap off the floor of your truck bed, apply the adhesive hook-and-loop fastener strip onto the underside of a rail at your desired location.

Speaker 1: Today, we're going to be taking a look at the Pace Edward line of Full Metal Jackrabbit Tunnel Covers. The Full Metal Jackrabbit is a flush mounted tunnel cover designed to keep your truck bed and your gear out of the elements. It's a hard tunnel cover made with a heavy gauge inaudible 00:00:15 aluminum designed to fit your truck bed. It's easy to operate. It features a single locking latch system. Give it a quick turn to the left and it handles the rest.
It has multiple catches along the rails. This is great for partial loads.It's lockable for more security. It can be locked in any position and two keys are included. The rear panel doubles as a handle. When used in conjunction with a locking tail gate, your bed is completely secure.
The rails simply clamp on to our truck bed rails. It's a no drill application. The clamps themselves are a two piece design. When installed, they're a lot sturdier than your traditional style clamps. The canister only sits inside your truck bed about 11 1/2 inches.
The rails sit inside of our truck bed about two inches.The included pull strap makes it easy to close from the rear of your truck bed. It features a large seal here at the rear, which is going to sandwich between our tail gate and keep out water, dirt, and debris. This tunnel cover features a draining system that prevents water buildup in the canister. The whole thing is weather resistant so it's going to stand up to rust and corrosion and it features a powder coated finish. While some other tunnels sit on top of your truck bed's side rails, the flush design of the Full Metal Jackrabbit offers a more attractive look.Compared to folding tunnel covers, the roll up design is going to still allow you rear window visibility with the tunnel fully open.
The canister is however, going to take up some space in your truck bed. That's going to complete our look at the Pace Edwards line of Full Metal Jackrabbit Tunnel Covers.

Retractable hard tonneau cover protects your cargo and truck bed from the elements. Heavy-duty aluminum panels and silicone hinges help seal bed. Cover locks every 12" along the rails, and it retracts easily with a quick-release handle.Just installed the cover and it looks great and it fits my older Sierra truck.
Installation of the initial rails to the canister was tricky as the instructions are not 100% clear (i recommend going on youtube to watch the video).
I would also recommend sliding locking brackets into rail slot before attaching to canister as there is a screw at the end rail which prevented me from sliding the brackets onto the rail from the tail end.
Instructions also failed to tell me how far from the tail bed i should secure the bracket even though they were specific about how far from the canister i should secure so i had to make a guess. I would have liked if i got 6 brackets instead of 4 so i could secure the rails in the back, middle and front but it is what it is.
Staff was great in making sure i order the correct cover to fit my older truck so I give them an A+.
it was super easy to install and only took me 2 hours (only because i triple checked the everything and kept referencing the video)
I highly recommend installing with two people.
Let’s see how it does in the rain.
1 year later and it still works like day one. Just keep the channel lubed.
Love the tonneau install went well I did resort to u ti e video which is actually very helpful looks great on the truck. I did have the same issue the installer on the video I watched did one side slips right on and the other took a minute to get lined op damn if I could figure out why.
Perfect fit and it makes the 72 look fantastic.
The install went well. I just turned 79 and I was able to complete this by myself.I very satisfied with the product and with your service.I had to wait awhile because you were out of stock for this item but it was well worth it. I have one problem one of the canister drain pipe snap in fittings was broken can you replace this please advise me so I can complete the install
Very nice cover and very well built!
I think it an awesome cover put it together today October 1st the install went smooth finished it in 2 hours yesterday my self everything works perfect thank yu e trailer will order again
Attachment by the rails to the carrier box was difficult with sparse instructions.
Just installed the tonneau cover. Everything went well. I would recommend that people watch [on-line video] installation- made things go easier. Washed truck and no leaks. All is good.
Love the look of this unit. Solid product. Easy installation. Only problem I have is the clamp down kick adjustment screws. They couldn’t be made short enough to use them. Still happy with the unit.
Fairly easy to install. Looks and works great. I have a 2019 Ram 3500, fits perfectly.
Delivery came earlier than expected!
Fast delivery and will install soon
