Can you get the unwinged version too?

[TurboBlew]

also make sure we can chose from single or dual locks! :biggthumpup:

[PacManRT]

So I backed out on the wheel groupbuy so I could pick up an original innovations prosport and that deal fell through. So I am definitely in on this group buy. Also if I can I would like to order mine without paint, as the whole truck will be getting painted when this comes in(this is the last piece I need). If not then Solar yellow it is.

--Justin

[RTdingo7]

That's the one Chris, error corrected and name added. Thanks

ADakotaRTGuy, you can get unwinged, will check into it on this buy and let you know.

TurboBlew, I will also check about the locks and advise.

Justin (PacManRT) will check about being unpainted also.

[DjWolf37]

Anyway to get one for a QC?????????????? I am deff in if you can,

[mdandl]

Ill take One, Please add me to the list

[krusty_R/T]

How are they taking payment? Since a couple of you in MO are going to get one, maybe save on shipping and have 2 sent to the same place (i.e. the one I might purchase :D)

[PacManRT]

Thanks worst case I'll pick one up in solar yellow and just have it repainted,m either way its cheaper then buying one directly from them.

[Rooknute]

Mike

[DrewzR/T]

Damn them folks are about to make bank! Hopefully theres an even bigger disount.

[Siciliano15]

does anyone know how heavy these covers are? i have the stock dodge vinyl cover now and dont want to be adding too much weight even though these covers look pretty sweet.

[DrewzR/T]

Had one on my old truck. They're fairly heavy. Id say atleast 80+ lbs.

[Aves]

Damn why did ya have to do this now.. Hmmm finish buying parts for S/C install or push it back and get the cover. Damn you dingo.. Have any idea when ya going to cut off sign-up yet?

Troy

[RTdingo7]

G'day Troy, was planning about the end of the month but with the responce we've had could be earlier. Would like 25 names and we're nearly there. Get in mate its a good price. :biggthumpup:

[Siciliano15]

Had one on my old truck. They're fairly heavy. Id say atleast 80+ lbs.

damm thats really heavy. prob gonna stick with the soft cover even though those innovations look so dam good.

[PacManRT]

Put me on the list I'm good to go with or without paint..

--Justin (302)668-6634 incase you need it for something

[BTLFED R/T]

damm thats really heavy. prob gonna stick with the soft cover even though those innovations look so dam good.

They're heavier than that, try close to 150lbs IIRC. They look too damn good, and the price is too low not too do it though. Hell, I'm gonna have to buy a Dakota to put mine on! :jester:

[geo2slow4u]

Lol I figured the list would make it this high. Be nice if 30 would get in. I'm glad I let you handle this beast. Just remember me when the discounts come in lol.

[RTdingo7]

Hey Mike what fricken discounts? :jester:

[SnipeDak02]

im definitely in, Dingo if you could find out what brand paint they use on the covers & if i could send them my own paint or how much more of a discount we get for unpainted? thanks

[RTdingo7]

I will post answers to all your questions Friday :biggthumpup:

[SnipeDak02]

thanks, im going to be painting the dak in viper blue in about a month, so if they use ppg paint il just give you the code im using other wise ill just get it unpainted & spray it with the truck!

[RyanH360]

So what's the word about anymore of a discount? Or possibly getting these unpainted? I'm definitley interested in one but would need to know the exact price cause I'm already strapped with the r/t wheel group buy.

[RTdingo7]

Have answers just swamped at work, will post information later this afternoon

[SnipeDak02]

we all will be unpatiently waiting!! lmao!

[Aves]

DAmn it I don't wanna do it but add me to the list.

Troy

[RTdingo7]

OK guys here's what I've got, 1st is that he can’t do any better that $700.00 on the lids, so that's that, and I tried. Still it’s a pretty good price for what they’re giving us. They will do lids without paint, but you'll only save $45.00The paint brand is MD? Locks are the std. Dual Automotive type, also available (as per their web site) Single Automotive type and Slam Lock Latch (extra) Internal Dome Lights (extra) Carpet is Black (included in price) and the No-Drill frame rail (included) To delete the no-drill frame would save $30.00, but he recommends it. Now shipping, they don't use any particular shipper just where they get the best price at the time and we can check that out ourselves. There will be no 2 for 1 on shipping but he can ship up to 3 in one package (separated by a wood frame which would cost materials only) but would probably work out cheaper. He will do his best to accommodate us with the best shipping available. (Jason ours are coming to Spfld.) Lid weight is between 70-85lbs and the frame rail 15lbs. They require 50% deposit at the time of the order and they could be made and ready to ship in 3-4 weeks. Deposits will be through the Dakota R/T club by check or PayPal (incl. fee) but I will post more about that and a cut off date later. Last issue Quad Cabs, this is somewhat confusing, correct me if I'm wrong is the bed on a Quad Cab shorter than a RC & CC at 6.5' I need to straighten that out with them, their site says they make the XPW8 for QC but he said they didn't. On clarification of the size I will have an answer. Hope this answeres everyone’s questions, apart from you QC guys, but I will get one.
Thanks and avagoodweekend, Cheers :biggthumpup:

[krusty_R/T]

Might as well send mine to Springfield as well. Make it a threesome :biggthumpup:

Oh and Quad cab beds are 4 feet long I believe

***Correction...I saw a QC today and it looked more like 5 feet. But still not sure...lol

[dakotabluert98]

sweet cant wait till we get it going. wonder how many will have em in time for the nationals :rockwoot:

[TurboBlew]

How much extra for the single lock?

[RTdingo7]

How much extra for the single lock?

I will check Moday and post.

[TurboBlew]

so are we going to pay directly to the fabricator? Just let me know where to drop the funds / ordering options / mailing addy.

:biggthumpup:

[DrewzR/T]

Me, Timmay , and mdandl can all ship to the same place in VA. Just say when and where to pay.

[DjWolf37]

yeah the QC bed is shorter that the RC and CC, its the shortest short bed out of our trucks........ I think its around 5 ft, but shouldnt they know that if they offer it on there site?? Did they just think that they were all the same?

[ADakotaRTGuy]

Anyone in the Baltimore, philly area picking one up so we can ship together?

[RTdingo7]

yeah the QC bed is shorter that the RC and CC, its the shortest short bed out of our trucks........ I think its around 5 ft, but shouldnt they know that if they offer it on there site?? Did they just think that they were all the same?

I understand what you're saying but there was some confusion between brand names with them but I will get it sorted out and post.

[5.9 R/T]

if I'm not mistaken, the QC bed is like 5'3''.... maybe a QC guy could get a tape and check that out... oh and you can get the maybe out of my name.. I'm in...

[5.9 R/T]

can someone tell me what is the Slam Lock Latch???
is it that the locks are ''shaved''?

[SnipeDak02]

also see if we can send them our own paint b/c im spraying my truck in ppg viper blue pearl & for $45 bucks its not worth the extra labor to me ill just send them a pint of my paint?
\
thanks

[2k1AmberR/T]

So he recommends deleting the no drill frame rail, which will bring the cost to 670 rather than 700? Or will it then cost 730? Also can anyone explain exactly what this is to me?

Roughly when will we need to send our 50% deposit to get the production started? I understand it'll take about a month after that to get the damn thing but that's fine. I just want the damn thing before the end of August...

[RTdingo7]

I don't know whether this can be done but I will endeavor to find out.

[RTdingo7]

I believe a "slam lock latch" is when you push the lid down it latches closed but does not have a locking mechanism. I am trying to get pics of these options.

Sorry if I didn't explain correctly, I meant he recommends the "no-drill frame" but if you wanted to delete it you would deduct $30.00 being $670.00. Because of all the questions which some are needing correspondance with the manufacturer it is taking extra time. You can start sending me contact information now, name, address, phone, e-mail etc. Please e-mail me this info to mopar269@mchsi.com Thanks

If we don't want the "no drill frame", what does it come with for mounting?

[DrewzR/T]

If we don't want the "no drill frame", what does it come with for mounting?

Probably the standard drill into the bed mounting rails and not the clamps. I'd rather drill mine.

Yeah, IMO, the rails make it too bulky.

There is a difference between the two rails or just the clamps? My ARE is the same either way, just has clamps but could be drilled.

Sorry to let you down.

[DjWolf37]

Probably the standard drill into the bed mounting rails and not the clamps. I'd rather drill mine.
I probably already know the answer, but any luck on finding out if us QC guys can get in on this GB????????//

[RTdingo7]

I will be posting info as to where & how to send payment tomorrow

[WeezyRT]

Posted this on DD, but figured Id post it here too.

So is the slam lock latch under the cover/inside the bed or is it some big tacky deal on the outside? Also, if I dont get the dual std locks and go with the latch does it still close sercurley (wont jump up and down over bumps)? How much extra for the slam lock? Why do they recommend the no-drill option? Id probably rather just drill mine in unless theres big specific reason I shouldnt. Thanks.

He recommended the no-drill kit because as he explained it when the lid was lifted uo it put the weight on the front bed frame and as Dak as not so strong in that area he said it added extra stability (thats what he said) still trying to get answers about latch, I've even sent him pics. Not to bitch but I've been trying to answer everyones Q's but not getting much cooperation from manufacturer. Thanks

[RTdingo7]

Well mates, It's time for deposit's they will be 50%, $350.00 You can post through PayPal at orders@dakotart.com OR Money Orders payable to Dakota R/T Club mailed to Dakota R/T Club, PO Box 223, Valmeyer, IL 62295. Please note in PayPal comments when paying "Innovations Group Buy" and Money Orders also. Balance & shipping will be paid direct to Superiorfiberglass at the time of shipping. All involved in the GB will be notified of received deposits.
Now answers to some questions; they can make the lids for QC's, the Slam Lock Latch is a flush center mount lock that you only see the cylinder from the top, when shut it clicks home and is locked down, you will need the key to unlock. This lock takes more time in manufacture (they need to add extra reinforcing in that area & a metal plate) this will cost an extra $50.00, best I can do. They cannot do any special paints, lids can be supplied unpainted & finished ready for painting. As soon as I have received monies from all those who sent shipping info I will place the order, so e-mail info and send money.
e-mail mopar269@mchsi.com. :biggthumpup:

Will we need to add any percentage to the 350 dollars if we use paypal?

I'll have my money out on Monday afternoon for sure.

[SnipeDak02]

I'm getting close to pulling the trigger and getting in on the group buy (I know I need to hurry up and get my money in...). Can you get a picture of this slam lock on any of their other tonneau covers? Is it more like a door handle with key lock? A picture would speak a thousand words in this case...

Also, does anyone have a ballpark figure for shipping on something like this?

Can you get a picture of this slam lock on any of their other tonneau covers? Is it more like a door handle with key lock? A picture would speak a thousand words in this case...

Also, does anyone have a ballpark figure for shipping on something like this?

I don't have any pics of the Slam Lock, it sounds like a door type lock by their description. The zip code for Superiorfiberglass is 92567 and I've been told different weights between 85-125lbs. Take the high side and call UPS, this will give you somewhat of an idea. :goodluck:

[dakotabluert98]

ups....do you mean ups freight? cuz i think these are to large for common delivery i would think.

[TurboBlew]

maybe Ill just order 1 tonneau and let UPS f*** it up just enough so I can order another one on their dime. :D

the slam lock is just a key on top of the cover you turn the key to unlock then just close the lid & its locked! trucking charges are quoted when the lids are ready to ship, due to current fuel prices! if you look on the old innovations website theres a video of the slam lock!

[TurboBlew]

ups freight online quoted $900 to NY this has to be way off?? zip 11434

yes. There are other frieght fowarders like Forward Air that will ship much cheaper

[SnipeDak02]

estes trucking will take it to my office in EWR for $150 then they can send it to me in JFK for free!! (company material) not bad i feel much better now!

I think in an earlier post they said that there wont be any discount for shipping 2 or more together, but they will package up to 3 and send them to the same place. Normal shipping charges still apply though.

Whens the cut-off for sending money in?

[RTdingo7]

Those of you that have paid or are going to pay through PayPal need to pay the fees ($10.45 on $350.00 deposit) I'm sorry but the club (DRTC) cannot pay this. Please make arrangements to reimburse the club for these fees. Thankyou :biggthumpup:

[Timmay]

So when is the order going to be placed? how many people are you waiting on for the $$$$$$$?

[SnipeDak02]

[SnipeDak02]

so how soon you think we can get these? is mid-july possible, im hoping to have the truck painted by then so this will make me complete!

[SnipeDak02]

ok fee sent.

[1999DakotaRT]

D**nit. I forgot about the fees. How much should I send since Paypal will now take a portion of the fee...?

Okay, assuming that Paypal charges a flat rate regardless of the amount of money being transfered, $10.45 on $350 is 0.0299%. So, I actually need to send $10.76 in order to compensate for the fee that will be incurred on the fee I am about to send (since I didn't send mine with the original deposit)? Or is this already compensated for?

No fees in the $350.00 were compensated for, sorry but everybody that uses PayPal know that they takes fees. Thanks Charles for the extra :biggthumpup:

[RTdingo7]

That is correct, the club (DRTC) will not be involved in the final payment. Order will be placed very soon. :D

[TurboBlew]

check the PO box cause I sent payment there! :biggthumpup:

[BTLFED R/T]

In order to have the full amount that the tonneau company needs for a deposit, the Paypal fees need to be paid. The other half can go directly to them. As Ian stated, the club will not be part of the final payment, just used to get everyone's deposits together and make things easier.

[DakRat33]

I will pay for mine on Monday. Gotta make sure I have everything in order.

I'll send my info as well, as I want the slam lock too, not the standard ones.

Thanks for doing this

Jason

[2k1AmberR/T]

I had something very unexpected come up this week and although I've had the money order since Monday I haven't had the chance to even slip it in my mailbox as ridiculous as that sounds. I've been out of state helping with Extreme Makeover Home Edition for the past week and will get the money out by Monday for sure, by the time I get home tonight it'll be too late.

[1999DakotaRT]

No fees in the $350.00 were compensated for, sorry but everybody that uses PayPal know that they takes fees. Thanks Charles for the extra :biggthumpup:

Believe me I know all about the fees; between eBay and Paypal fees I estimate that we spend $300 a month selling stuff online for my dad's business.

I just wanted to make sure that the R/T Club wasn't getting the shaft; but if everybody sent you $10.45 instead of $10.76, you lost $0.31 each. So for 25 people, that's $7.75, which isn't a whole lot but it adds up... Anyhow, I sent my $10.76 in :rockwoot:

[99408kotar/t]

is this group buy still open, i have the factory mopar fiberglass cover and want the one with the wing, so i would probably be down on the offer, i would then have mine for sale if anyone is interested

[SnipeDak02]

dingo i copied this from dakota-durango, posting for a fellow dak owner!hey i noticed that RTdingo7 the guy incharge of the tonneau cover GB posts alot more over on dakotart.com. im not a member over there and i seen u are. i was just looking for confirmation that he got my payment and knows who its from. so i was hoping you could tell him for me. id also like to know if he had anymore more info on shipping?

yes it would be much easier and hassle free if everyone sent in payment via MO. Paypal sucks 3% or more off each transaction.
No need for them to make any money (which is alot on this buy)

paint code is on bottom of drivers side door, glove compartment stricter. my paint code is PDR (graphite). you need to include shipping addy, type of lock, and i am probably forgetting something

I did some research and tell me if I'm wrong, but Innovations doesn't ship their covers themselves? You have to go through an independent shipping company. So If I spend the $700 for the cover then whatever it is extra for the shipping and it gets to me cracked I'm outta luck? I can't afford to take that chance. I may have to pass if that's the case.

Sorry for a late reply but is it too late to get in on this group buy?
And also i'm not looking for my dakota but my dad's 2008 gmc sierra, If they are only offering this GB for the standard bed dakota's thats fine, but figured i would atleast try.


BTW, im not some unnamed moocher trying to swing in and grab a deal, I'm the same nemesis from over at DD.

OK mates I need some help here! I would like you guys to look at where the covers are being shipped and see if you can get together with someone close it will be cheaper on shipping 3-5 lids can be shipped together.

1 - Jacksonville Beack FL
1 - Westmoreland NY, 1 - Jamaica NY & 1- Syracuse NY
1 - Roseville MI
1 - Mineral Ridge OH

I'll try and get a final answer from my dad tomorrow, Thurday July 10th.
Also if i remember correctly these are $700 plus shipping with a $200 deposit upfront and the final $500 upon shipment of cover, correct?

Also if my dad does order one i'll probably have it ship with rtgrouchman's cover since he lives like 5min from my house lol so if anyone else in the ohio/pa wants to get in on group shipping.

Awesome, thanks for the quick update!

I have no objections to having my cover shipped to the Va Beach area with the other 3 guys but I wouldn't want to fully commit to that until I knew how much money it could potentially save me.
Also, it'd be really nice for me and DJ Wolf to have our two covers shipped together as we work only about 15 minutes away from each other. I don't know if that's possible or worth while but to me it makes sense...

[SnipeDak02]

Westmoreland NY, & Syracuse NY are upstate NY i believe, im in Jamaica which is about 5 min from JFK airport. i think we are about 4-6 hours apart at least to syracuse, not to sure about westmoreland? i did some quick research & the cheapest i can get the cover to my job(jamaica) is about $175. if they can ship it cheaper than that or the same directly then il just do that. btw any news on an expected completed date?

thanks

OK so it can be more than 3 covers shipped together to save $? my cover can be shipped together with the other VA guys. If its only 3 that brings the savings, i can meet with the guy from elkton, MD. its only 2.5 hrs from my house and i go up there quite a bit

[NH_TAZ]

Westmoreland NY, & Syracuse NY are upstate NY i believe, im in Jamaica which is about 5 min from JFK airport. i think we are about 4-6 hours apart at least to syracuse, not to sure about westmoreland? i did some quick research & the cheapest i can get the cover to my job(jamaica) is about $175. if they can ship it cheaper than that or the same directly then il just do that. btw any news on an expected completed date?

thanks

Westmoreland is about 45 minutes east of Syracuse so they are definitely closer together than you are.

[SnipeDak02]

ok then i think ill be shipping mine by itself 4-6 hours of driving each way will cost me way more in gas then what ill save on for group shipping!

dingo,
please let us know any updates you have on shipping cost & expected delivery dates?

thanks

[dakotabluert98]

some good news, i may have found a guy from craigslist to buy my current cover.:woot:

[Nemesis]

$700.00 + shipping, $350.00 deposit + $10.76 if paying through PayPal & balance prior to shipping. Not sure about your Dad's cover in this GB I will need to find out.

I just talked to him, He said he's going to pass on this, He said he wants to just get a regular vinyl cover.

But thanks for offering the deal.

[PacManRT]

I'm the one from Elkton, I don't see a problem with having mine shipped with the Va guys if there is room, or I see DJ wolf is in the area frequently, Mabey I can arrrange something with him.

[2k1AmberR/T]

I'm not willing to have my cover shipped to Elkton, that's over 2 hours away. I can get to Va Beach faster and actually have a reason to be there other than simply picking up my tonneau cover.

Yeah cmon down man. Im sure mike wouldnt mind gettin another one shipped to his shop. Could go do hooters or somethin. :biggthumpup:

I've got a house in Norfolk right near the ODU campus, how far is Mike's shop from there?

Right on. His shops in Hampton off Aberdeen if ya know where that is.

[2k1AmberR/T]

Right on. His shops in Hampton off Aberdeen if ya know where that is.

I bet that's only a 15-20 minute drive from my house. As soon as we hear more info from Dingo I'll figure out where I'd like mine to be shipped to. I could go either way, Fredericksburg or Hampton. Whatever is cheapest. I don't fully understand how the multiple discount works though.

Would Mike want me to come pick it up the same day it gets delivered, or can it sit at his shop until I have the time to get down there? Of course I won't want my shit sitting around taking up his space but if I need to get it within a day or two it might be more reasonable to just have it shipped up north so that could be a deciding factor regardless of price.

Dingo-Has the order been placed for these yet? Are we going to be waiting another 2 weeks or 6 weeks to see these things or do you know yet?

[DjWolf37]

Any new??????

[1999DakotaRT]

I've got money! Does anybody know when Superior Fiberglass will have totals for us? Or an estimated completion/ship date?

Thanks! :rockwoot:

[SnipeDak02]

we have been posting about this the past week or so with no answers as to when these will be ready?? :jerkit: i dont even care when it is just want to know??

[2k1AmberR/T]

Well guys it's unfortunate and I never expected to hear something like this, however I called Superior Fiberglass myself to see what was going on with my 350 dollars. Apparently Super Fiberglass has not received the deposit from the R/T Club yet. He said he's hoping to get the paperwork soon though, and once that happens it'll probably be a month and a half, no more than 2 months though. So don't expect to see your tonneau cover until mid September. So there you go. I don't know why Dingo is MIA though...

[SnipeDak02]

wtf???? i think we should give dingo til tomorrow to give us an explantion! if nothing by them we have to send a email or pm to the webmaster followed by disputing our payal accounts for the $$$$$ i was really expecting to have this fucking cover by the end of this month this buy has been going on for what now 2+ months these covers should have been starting to ship this coming week since we all paid over a month ago??

[dakotabluert98]

lets see whats going on. maybe he mailed the money and they havent gotten it yet.

FYI order was placed July 14, 2008 and which I had not received all deposit’s, I was told he would start getting things together ready to start production. There have been issues getting monies transferred form DRTC to me and out to Superior without exuberant extra costs. I was not sending over $6000.00 of other peoples money without a guarantee of it being OK and I needed to investigate Superior legitimacy, as had been expressed buy GB members. BTW the DRTC was only a collecting point for deposits not responsibly for the GB, it has been difficult getting info on what everybody wanted and where to ship. I have been in contact with Superior regularly and they knew the situation but assured me that production has commenced. They also informed me that they could produce 2 or more a day and that they would ship when they had enough to ship to location that more than one lid was going. All MONEY has been sent WITHOUT any extra cost. If there has been any inconvenience to anyone I apologize but without this GB you would not be getting these lids for this price. You should see the first shipped within 2 weeks and I will keep contact with Superior to make sure (I want mine as well but it will be the last made). I have done my best but if anyone wants to bitch at me or take over GB, e-mail me direct mopar269@mchsi.com or call 417-844-2840 Thanks

[SnipeDak02]

dingo,
were not bitching directly towards you, a few of us are/were just generally concerned about the situation as to why we havent heard anything about the progress of this GB in a while. the only thing i will say is that if your post you just made was put up a week or so ago i think we would have avoided this. people just get a little wirey when it comes to money. i also would like to apologize if i offended you in my post, like i said we all just want to get these covers & enjoy our trucks!

thanks

I instructed them to do the lids in order of most in area of the country 1st. eg VA NY etc.. I know this won't suite everybody but it was the best way of getting it down. :D

[SnipeDak02]

so how far down is NY on the list ?? (haha)

So will we be notified individually when we need to send out the last half of the payment to Superior? Only reason Im asking is im one of the guys in VA and I think im around the first on the list or so...just dont want them to be hung up due to not knowing. :biggthumpup:

I will notify you buy e-mail or phone with details when final payment is required and it will be sent directly to Superior.

After a lenghty discussion with Superior today at my expense, we should see the first batch of lids ready to ship in 2 to 2 1/2 weeks from this week. The problem remains about shipping, not how to ship or where but who to ship with. Superior have not been as helpful as I 1st thought, but I am still investigating. If anyone has had a inexpensive & good experience with a shipper please let me know. Updates will come as time get closer or new info is available. Thanks to the people who have positively supported this GB. :biggthumpup:

FowardAir is relatively inexpensive terminal to terminal.

Thanks Stephen I will check into them. :biggthumpup:

[RTgrouchman]

I can only imagine the shipping coordination on these things are gonna be a pain in your ass!!!

I know I gave you my home address in my email to you, but now that I think of it, I live on a 1 lane, dead end street and don't see a big truck trying to drop one off here! I wouldn't have a problem picking it up at a terminal if it's not too far or a better option for me would to give you my work address........when you find out more info on this shipping nightmare, let us know!

Thanks for time and effort on this!!!

[RTgrouchman]

Oh, BTW, I was messing around on one of them freight quote sites, started typing in some zip codes and it looks like Roadway, CTI, and Yellow were the 3 cheapest in that order for most of the zips i used! I'm just hoping we can get it cheaper than what that site was quoting....ouch! :biggthumpup:
