So if you’re keeping score, the LOMAX Stance is made almost completely of rust proof aluminum and a small amount of powder-coated steel and heavy duty rubber gaskets. So even if/when (eventually) the rubber gaskets get small cracks, the powder-coated steel will act as a weather resistant and durable barrier.

Not good! The linkage folding points on the LOMAZ stance and well protected, made of powder coated steel, and sealed with heavy duty rubber gaskets (see below). This is especially risky because it allows water leaks in the middle of the bed which usually expand quickly. This is critical because with the repetitive hinging action of a tri-fold Tonneau cover, the linkage folding points have failed on my Tonneau covers in the past. I was also impressed by the design of the linkages.

I opted for the Diamond Mist Finish and its awesome. The adherence is top quality and the coating thickness seems extremely rugged. From a weather protection perspective, I was more interested in the urethane coating and I was impressed. The diamond plate is inherently a bit stronger because of the tempering process used during the production of the diamond plate (has a higher tensile strength). There is a single finish coating applied to one of two type of aluminum panel – Black Urethane (Flat) or Black Diamond Mist (Diamond Plate). According to Agri Cover’s website, there are “two finishes available,” but that isn’t an accurate statement. This starts with the rugged and durable feeling finishes. The weather protection is excellent on the LOMAX Stance Tonneau cover. But the video and instructions are very good and it was a relatively easy one man operation.

I had to break out my hammer drill driver but if you don’t have one then a breaker bar will work just fine. This requires you to loosen 2x hex head bolts that secure them in place.

The most challenging part of the install process was attaching the front edge locking tabs. And if you have any questions Agri Cover has a great install video to walk you through the process. All in all the total install took about 45 minutes. And with 4 sets per side evenly spaced, they provide excellent support to the aluminum panels on top. They use a cantilevering action to secure ribbed jaws on both sides of the rails. The Tight Bite clamps were very simple to place and secure. I used a 1/4″ impact driver with a socket bit adapter to secure the extruded aluminum rails to my truck rails via the Tight Bite clamps. The install was very straightforward on the LOMAX Stance.

Automatic 10-point locking/dual unlocking system.

Specifications & Features Specifications: It’s made by Agri Cover in the USA and it offers some unique features that make it a great fit for jobsite Pro’s. After much searching I decided on the LOMAX Stance Aluminum Tri-Fold Tonneau cover. Why? Because Tonneau covers can 1) protect your truck and tools from theft and weather while also 2) looking good and even 3) offering limited fuel efficiency benefits. So when I recently replaced my truck, I immediately applied previous lessons learned and started shopping for a Tonneau cover. It is a mobile extension of my workshop and an essential part of my overall productivity. Also like many jobsite professionals, I rely heavily on my truck. So when my tools get lost, damaged, or stolen (unthinkable I know) it’s a significant and costly crisis.
