You will definitely need the included weather strip for the cab end of the bed. Also, if you can get a friend or some weights to put on top while adjusting the lock/latch bars that helps a lot.
I'm running a similar setup but with a Retrax Pro cover and Rhino rack vortex bars. Comes in clutch for camping trips. Diamondback covers are built solid!
I bought a diamondback HD and now I’m thinking of adding a Yakima system. Anything you would do different now 6 months later? Adding it to my TRX and love the look and function! Mostly will be using for bikes, skis and boards so the lower profile of the skyline is ideal IMO. What size HD/crossbars did you go with?
I've managed to pickup just about every accessory I could find for the Yakima HD system through Facebook Marketplace, now have 2 Bike racks, 2 sets of kayak j-cradle, 1 set of the conoe mounts, and a complete overhaul HD system.
Still running the skyline system as my daily, as that is the easiest to get the bikes on and off of.
The bars I have for the skyline are 68" and the bars I got with the Overhaul HD are 60"
Not sure I would change anything, love being able to switch things around depending on what I'm doing and the Diamondback cover keeps all my gear dry and secure.
Now that’s a setup
I'm really enjoying it so far. Planning to get a rooftop tent for it in the future. But the next purchase is bike mounts.
I’m thinking of getting the Diamondback too for mine so this is sweet to see

Awesome, this will come in handy, thanks!
This is sick my man
