BAK Revolver X4S Fitment Issues on 2025 Ranger Lariat

[mrjofus]

I finally installed my replacement cover yesterday, and it’s definitely an improvement over the original. The fit at the tailgate is much better now, but there‘s still a bit of a gap under the vinyl thanks to the stepped down edge of the tailgate cap. I may try and add some weather-stripping to the bottom edge of the cover for an added level of water resistance, but overall I’m much happier with the fit on the cover.

Any chance you have the new length measurement vs the old? Bak has also offered me a replacement but I’m going to try shimming mine first.

I’ll take some measurements of the new cover and rails later today and post before and after

Here are the before and after numbers:

Original Cover

Pass rail 59-13/16”
Driver rail 59-7/8”
Cover vinyl to vinyl 59-5/16” Pass and 59-3/16” Driver

Replacement Cover

Rails 59-13/16”
Vinyl 59-15/16”

So the vinyl cover section is about 3/4” longer on my replacement cover.

I agree it's crazy how sharp the edge of the rails are. If anyone's interested, I created custom end caps that fit over the end of the rails . BAK Revolve X4s/x4s-t Protective End Cap - Etsy

I’m interested in ordering a set. Any way you can round the back edge?

Might be tough. These are 3D printed, and in order to get the shape that surface has to be flat on the print bed. Let me try a couple things, I’ll post back next week.

Did you use ABS?

These are made from a flexible TPU. Like a semi-soft rubber

Gotcha, thanks. TPU is fun to print
