When I got my truck a few years ago, the first thing I added was a tonneau cover. I wanted something low profile and low maintenance, I was hoping for something that was completely flush with the bed sides but the best I could come up with was the Agri-Cover Access Tonneau Cover. It was nice but the biggest problem I had was that it either had to be fully closed or fully open, if I drove with it half way say if I was hauling lumber or a pipe with the tail gate up then it would blow all over the place. Overall it was nice and did the job though so I didn't really complain, or even think there was a better option.

Fast forward to a few months ago when I discovered BAK Tonneau Covers, they produce the BAK Flip HD which is a hard folding tonneau cover. I could go on and on about how amazing it is, from allowing partial bed access to being light yet sturdy enough to stand on! Check out this video that shows a full tour of all the features...

Below is my own installation image gallery of the BAK Flip HD, click to see more photos. Of particular note is how you can fold it all the way up to get FULL bed access, there is a rod to secure it so it won't fall back down while driving. Installation was a snap, it was actually easier than removing the old Access cover! These guys thought of everything from the drainage of rain water to making sure when its folded up it doesn't rub against itself and scratch the finish. Best of all, it lays completely flush with the bed sides and it looks awesome on my truck.

OK so I have had my F150 for 3 years now and already had to stop at the dealership and get a new set of floor mats. Well the drivers side one wore a hole through it about a year ago so I switched to using the passenger side one which didn't have the little hole to hook into the truck carpet so it was always sliding around. Also with black carpet every little piece of dirt was always visible and getting pushed off the carpet mats. Anyway I was done messing around so I did some searching and found these great WeatherTech All-Weather Floor Mats over at Truck Champ for a great price and I got them in just a few days!

I love my iPhone but nothing makes me happier than more automotive applications to entertain me on my iPhone...

More than 1 billion iPhone and iPod touch applications have been downloaded since Apple opened its App Store on July 11, 2008. It didn't take long for the automotive industry to realize that it could put product information right into consumers' hands with the development of a slick download — a few recent examples being apps for the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG, Porsche Panamera, Kia Soul and the European-market Volkswagen Polo. In the automotive sector, you'll also find an almost endless selection of racing games, performance dynos, educational tutorials, driving logs, gas finders and much, much more. After test driving countless automotive apps we've found 10 that really stand out from the crowd. Read on as we count down our favorites.

Jay Leno is my here when it comes to having an amazing automotive collection and justifying his tinkering with his cars on a regular basis.

It's been 10 years since Jay Leno's garage first appeared in Popular Mechanics. But instead of looking back, Jay's celebrating his first decade with PM by looking forward--at which cars today have the potential to be collectible in the future.

I have an incredible setup with milled .100 Trick Flow Twisted Wedge heads, a new 95' 5.0 block running the F303 cam and Kieth Black pistons... yet I have this crappy old intake with ports half the size of the heads intake ports. After upgrading to a 3500 RMP converter I could really feel the limitations of this setup so I decided to upgrade to a new Edelbrock Performer RPM Air Gap intake with the EnduraShine finish....
