It's function over form - I get it. It clearly works just fine and will carry the load it's designed to carry. Your modular design also means the price point is going to affordable and hard for competitors to beat. Both Yakima and Thule racks are also around your price point and don't offer anywhere near the versatility your rack offers. And all of that is perfect for some people's needs.We don't think that, but you are free to
If you want to mount these with minimal intrusion to your bed (I.E. Not drilling and cutting) it makes the most sense to use the factory rail system.
But yeah, sorry and don't take it personally, I'm just not digging the sawhorse look of it. If it makes you feel better I'm not stoked about the Leitner Designs or RCI racks either.
Since I just dropped $50K on this truck, I'm going to be picky about what goes on it. For me it's function first...but also form too. Jeep spoiled us with the rack they put on the Wayout concept...and I've even looked into replicating it (3 - 4x the cost of your rack BTW).
For now I'm just going to wait and see what else comes to market.
Oh and for the right rack (i.e., welded tubes) I'd be willing to drill holes and bolt it through the bed sides or the bed floor. But then I'd also be fine with a rack doubling as a roll bar too. If you faithfully replicate this LR rack for a Gladiator (but tie it in to the bed rail caps and the windshield hinge points), I'd buy it.
