I have been looking hard for the perfect camper shell for my JTLE if they produce this I'm all in. What do you think?

I like their creativity.

I’m not sure I understand how their roof racks will function if they are attached the the bed as there will be issues when the truck flexes

How much flex do you think there is? I have no idea but I would think no more that 2 inch or so.

Flex/twist will cause issues especially when the roof rack has weight in it as the design appears to put weight directly on the roof

Understood. But to get past this we need to know how much flex is there. I think you would start at empty bed and go from there.

No, I don’t think so. I’ve not seen any company make a rack for the bed that is attached in any way to the truck’s roof. There’s a big reason for that

I don't get what this company is offering. Looks like a bunch of concepts that all say "patents available upon request" is this someone trying to licence his IP? Or are they intending to actually build these?

If I had to guess I’d say someone has some product ideas and photoshop skilz and put up a website to see if there’s any interest in either buying the designs (Assuming they’re actually have unique IP) or getting some market pull.

I have been looking for a bed rack that incorporates soft shell panels for weather proofing/dog containment. If they made this at cab height with cross bar and exterior cargo options (eg. rotopacks, side bike rack, RTT, et.) Id be all in. Seems very close to a functional bed rack with soft top capability but a fast back design just limits capacity and access. The little slide rack over the cab is cute but wasteful.
