Sorry for all the questions, but your set up is nice. The Tonneau cover that you ordered in the link, how does it attach the bed? My wife's factory tonneau uses a clamp that you lock into place, but it won't work with her Factory trail rail side bars. Had to end up using a type of C-clamp to hold it down at all 4 corners
Thanks

No problem....if you have any trouble with the install I can take some pics...as for the cover there is a small silver bracket that slides in the trail rail and a lever on the cover that hooks to this bracket. Then on the side closer to the back window I latch it into the blackhorse base. There just so happened to be a small window in the correct spot that works.

The description says will not work with any tonneau cover.
I believe because the link he sent for his roll bar was for the Atlas. He does not have the Atlas. He has the standard roll bar PN RB09BK which states Tonneau cover compatible on Black Horse Website

The link he has in his post is to a Atlas style bar which works on no covers

Hope this help clear somethings up

No, I have the atlas I just don’t have the basket installed or the red logo plate. You can tell my single bar up top. The sides fasten to the single bar roll bar.

it is worth noting though that my bar came with the bracket in the first link and also the flat bracket. You need the the one that lifts it higher as this is where the gap for the cover comes into play. If you install it with the flush mount a cover won’t work. If you go to my original pictures in the first post you can see the difference in the mounting.

Well, then we'll all agree Black Horse website sucks as it does say no tonneau cover works with this cover
Good To know. Thanks

Hey guys,
Firstly thanks for posting this. I too am looking at trying to find a good set of bed bars. I am looking at the black horse Atlas or the Raven Vanguard. The issue I have is that i am running a Diamondback HD Tonneau. To my plan is to mount it directly to the forward hatch as i don't open it that much and will up rate the assisting lift support gas strut. So incredibly i can't get either manufacturer to supply me with dimensions. I want to make sure the outer edge of the down tubes don't exceed the deck of the diamond back or if it does i can custom up a bottom bracket plate.

If anyone has one and is prepared to measure the outer dimensions both width and breath i would be eternally grateful. I will definitely post picks of the bed bar and diamond back combo if i proceed.
