The Bedlocker Electric is powered by an electric motor in the canister that opens and closes the cover along rails fastened to the truck bed via a remote control.
The Bedlocker Electric is manufactured out of heavy gauge extruded aluminum panels with a black textured powder coat finish for increased strength and durability that are fastened together with a silicone hinge seal.
The Bedlocker Electric is designed so that water collected on the top is carried to the canister. Drain tubes located at the base of the canister then take the water outside the truck, to help keep your truck bed dry. Water cannot pass through the silicone hinge sealed top, however water may intrude into the bed via components that are not part of the cover such as the tailgate, stake pockets, etc. These components require proper sealing during installation. We do not claim that our covers are 100% waterproof. Be very cautious if a manufacturer says that their retractable cover is 100% waterproof. Snow should be swept off of the cover with a broom before operating the cover otherwise you will end up with the snow in the truck bed and the canister box. Ice can be removed by taking your hand and smacking the cover as close to the middle as possible this will cause a vibration in the cover that breaks up the ice making it easy to remove. Do not use anything but your hand for this
The installation of the Bedlocker Electric is relatively easy. The most time consuming part of the installation is the running of the wire harness down the frame rail of the truck. As for the electrical part you will just be connecting the positive (red) wire and the negative (black) wire directly to the battery. Installation should take under 1 hour for the professional and 1½-2 hours for a first time installer. See the installation instructions here.
Your gas mileage should improve between 7% and 10% on the highway, with the cover closed on the bed (except when towing). A university study shows substantial gas mileage improvement whenever the box of a pickup is covered. Input from customers and our own experience bear out the accuracy of this claim.
The rails on our cover are designed to fasten directly on the sill of the truck bed. If you have a bedliner that covers the sill, modification will be required. Most under-the-rail bedliners are more easily fitted with our cover, but may also require modification near the front corners. See Bedliner modification sheet here.
The controller is programmed to not set the brake for 5 seconds after the blanket comes to a stop. This 5 second pause will give you time to push the cover away enough to eliminate pinching yourself. (You will need to push very hard to move it).
Your BedLocker Electric is not weight rated for load carrying. It is able to hold a substantial amount of weight especially if it’s evenly distributed such as a snow load. If you would like to carry something above your cover please see our ExplorerSeries Rails and Racks.
The BedLocker uses a rolling code to secure your cover. This gives you approximately 7 million random codes that change each time you push the button. It would be unlikely that a random garage door opener could open your cover.
No your cover will operate on battery only however, you will notice that it does run slightly faster with the engine running. The controller will not operate if the amperage draw falls below 10.5 amps. This will still allow you to crank the engine.
Yes, you can purchase a toggle switch kit that plugs directly into the controllers extra pigtail which will allow you to operate the cover with the flick of a switch.
The Full-Metal JackRabbit cover slides along rails mounted to the sides of the truck bed into a canister at the front of the truck bed. The Full-Metal JackRabbit blanket rolls around a reel inside the canister with the help of a coil spring which maintains tension on the cover at all times making it easy to open. The canister measures 9.6” wide by 9.66” high.
The Full-Metal JackRabbit is manufactured out of heavy gauge extruded aluminum panels with a black textured powder coat finish for increased strength and durability that are fastened together with a silicone hinge seal.
The Full-Metal JackRabbit is designed so that water collected on the top is carried to the canister.

We do not claim that our covers are 100% waterproof and have never heard of a competitors cover that is either. Be very cautious if a manufacturer says that their retractable cover is 100% waterproof.

Installation is easy. All parts are an exact match to your truck – no cutting necessary! JackRabbit covers are installed with our patented SpeedClamp™ system on most applications. Installation should take 30 minutes for the professional and under 60 minutes for a first time installer.
The Full-Metal JackRabbit locks with a key Offset to the driver’s side near the tailgate. The key turns arms that lock into the side rails mounted on the sides of the truck bed. The Full-Metal JackRabbit can be locked in place at 12 inch intervals along the truck bed.

The JackRabbit blanket rolls around a reel inside the canister with the help of a coil spring which maintains tension on the cover at all times making it easy to open. The canister measures 9.75” wide by 11” high.
The JackRabbit blanket consists of interlocking aluminum panels bonded to a polymer composite material. This special blend of textured polymer material will provide a long life while maintaining flexibility at sub-freezing temperatures.
The JackRabbit is designed so that water collected on the top is carried to the canister. Drain tubes located at the base of the canister then take the water outside the truck, to help keep your truck bed dry.

Installation is easy. All parts are an exact match to your truck – no cutting necessary! A few small holes drilled on the inside of the truck bed sill are all that is needed for installation. Optional Clamp kits are available for most application if you do not want to drill holes in your truck bed. Tools needed for most applications will be a drill (we even provide the drill bit), a medium-sized Phillips screwdriver and a medium-sized slotted screwdriver. Installation should take under 1 hour for the professional and 1-2 hours for a first time installer.
The Roll-Top-Cover locks with a key in the center of the cover near the tailgate. The key turns arms that lock into the side rails mounted on the sides of the truck bed. Besides the lock position at the tailgate, there is also a second lock position 20 inches forward of the tailgate (for loading small items) and at 60 inches on all full-size long bed trucks for use with 5th wheel applications. Pace Edwards can add an additional locking position to fit your specifications for a small upcharge. This may add five days to the shipping date.
