Can anyone confirm if this works with the Rugged Ridge 13550.24 Armis Hard tri-Folding Bed Cover with LINE-X? This may be the way I go, but wanted to make sure it works with it and stays sealed well against water. I realize I would have to do the mounts, close the cover and then put on the cross bars and leave the tonneau covered until I get back from a trip.

Billie bars with Molle panels... god I think this thread has finally convinced me of what I want.

But someone help a newb - how do you buy things like ski holders for this? I'm familiar with Thule and Yakima type systems but not sure how you adapt for this.
Thule Snowpack will mount right on!

What is the width (clearance) between the 8" brackets, mounted to Gladiator Trail rails? I read somewhere where that there is a welded gusset on the 8" brackets. Does this then subtract from the clearance width for the Mopar soft rollup Tonneau cover? I like the idea of the extra height for rolling up the cover, but i don't want a "wear" point as the cover hits the gusset.

Can you share a picture of the bracket from the back and slightly to the side?

Thanks

We will try to grab a pic here in the next few days! The soft roll up cover barely kisses the welded supports, we haven't had any issues so far with either the cover or the brackets!

Have you had a chance to take any pictures yet and confirm the actual clearance dimensions of the 8"?

We should have one soon - we had to reach out to a current customer and waiting on some free time for him! Sorry about the delay!

@BillieBars - Like another person mentioned, if you all had a set of bars that could be elevated slightly above the hardtop to hold surfboards, kayaks, SUP's, etc (don't need it to hold 1,000 pounds), AND that worked with most bed covers, then you'd have a new customer.

I've been looking for that solution for about 11 months now, and can't find anything that works.
