I mounted my rotopax mounts and storage case on my cargo rack but the cargo rack only had the two smaller pre drilled holes for the mount instead of the other four holes. Im not sure how I feel about it and might eventually drill holes so I can mount the storage cases vertically instead. It hangs over the edge of the bed a little more then I'd like but idk maybe it will grow on me.

What brand roof racks are those? Rhino rack? Or are those Mopar?

In the last two days I installed Rock/bug deflector, lightbar on steel bumper, Inside cabin Winch control with additional light switches, Yakima crossbars on my Voodoo rack.

Are those lights part of the bug/rock deflector? What brand is that?

There is one advantage I can think of. If you cut a 2x8 correctly for a snug fit, it is a bit unruly to get in and out, especially if you have tonneau cover tracks in the way. The 2x4s are just easier and lighter to handle.
But yes, you can absolutely do a 2x8 and rip it.
The 2x4s are indeed easier to get in and out - a wider board has to be removed or inserted perfectly level.
Also - I've used just ONE when I have things I don't want to slide forward in the bed but may want longer things back there at the same time and don't want a full width board sticking up. The 2x4s give me more options, easier to store, etc. and you can sand and smooth and paint them to look as nice as metal.
