This thing is pretty awesome. It took my dad and me a few hours to install.

I had a Peragon on my Ridgeline high quality piece of kit for minimal amount of money. Had no problems the 4 years I had it, unlike the Roll-n-Lock that was on my Raptor.

That’s good to know!! My dad bought it after I sent him the link. I didn’t really research it, I was just showing him a cool looking cover. I’m glad that they are actually good.

Off topic but I would like to commend you on your grammar. “My dad and me” is perfectly, wonderfully correct and TBH a breath of fresh air on the internet.

Nope, the way I was taught was if you remove one of the people in the sentence it still needs to make sense. That’s why at the beginning of the sentence it is “my dad and I” but in the sentence used above it needed to be “me”.
“It took my dad a few hours”
“It took me a few hours”
“It took I a few hours”
Now do the same with the following sentence plus use “me” to see how that isn’t correct
“My dad and I took a few hours”
Now that was more information than you ever wanted but there you go!
Edited to add examples for clarity.

Oh yeah I know that I just didn't check back to the original sentence. I might not always say that correctly though.

Well now I feel like I came off as preachy . Sorry about that, I was taught that way later in life than I should have and always wonder how many teachers failed to teach it like that to others.

A custom one for my Rampage would be rad... doesn’t seem like they do customs in that sort though. Paint yea, dimensional no.

Thank you! Shane explained my reasoning in his post below. As a foreigner and an ESL guy, using “ and I” never made sense to me i n the last 20 years of living in the USA. I always catch myself doing the test, and if it doesn’t pass muster without the other subject, “me” it is.

Custom might present issues for this kind of a cover. There are mounting brackets, custom guide pieces, tracks, gas lifts, and all the angles would have to work, plus lengths and widths of the panels and the frame. It just seems like it would be asking for trouble.

Lock! The panel can’t be opened once it is locked, and combined with the locked tailgate, it makes for a nice secure area.
Dad will get some plastic boxes and move his work kit into the bed to feee up the space in the cab as he’s currently keeping everything on the back seats.

You're good. I wasn't taught that either and had to learn it the hard way.

True, it’s just unfortunate as it seems like a pretty slick cover.

Here in Florida, persons say nonsense such as, “Her and me got them at Walmart.”
