Bed rack with a cargo tray and ladder

[amoyer_01]

I am interested in finding a bed rack that would work with a retractable bed cover. My other thought is to add a cargo tray on top with a ladder on one side. I found a cargo tray and ladder but not sure who it is from. When I asked the person selling it I was told they are customizable. I know RR has a t-slot for a bed rack but not sure which racks work with it. I really like the look of the DV8 rack. Any other options out there? No timetable for all of this.

I wish the DV8 rack was a 14" instead of 8". I am also aware that the images I posted would not work with that rack, but really liked that look of the tray/ladder combo. The only two retractable tonneau covers I am aware of that work with a bed rack are the RR new t-slot version and the bat crap crazy priced EGR. Not quite sure why a bracket could not tuck around the outside of the retractable covers.

The Bak Revolver X4S has T-slots and works with Bed Racks, and Crossbars.

There are several posts on this specific bed cover, it's aluminum construction and will support a 400lb "evenly distributed" load.

Also look into the Billiebars as they have 5" & 8" risers. However, some mods would need to be done to the Bak Revolvers slide rails. For the risers to clear.

Thanks but for $1,200 I would rather get a retractable tonneau cover and not one that rolls up. Thanks for the suggestion as I hadn't heard of that cover yet.

Well check out the @Tuwa Pro racks. 600lbs capacity I believe. Love mine adjust to below, at, or above cab height.

Thanks for mentioning us Robert!

We actually have a customer that has done the same set up that is mentioned in this thread!

And our system works great with the RetraxPRO MX and the Roll N' Lock

Hope this info is useful to the post OP!

Thanks

This is very helpful. As I have been trying to find something that is very similar. What RetraxPRO MX are people with the Gladiator running? As our truck does not come up as a vehicle to select on their website. Also, who makes the tray and ladder in the picture as that is the same one I found but the person selling would not tell me the brand/model. I dont like the text on the ladder but cant find it using the text as keywords in a search.

I had come across your rack before while looking around, same for the JCR and DV8. But I just hadn't found a rectractable tonneau that would work with them yet. If the RetraxPRO MX works that gets me a bit closer.

I don't know how the hell after you posted THAT tray/ladder asking about a rack and cover for it, that you would get an exact answer and picture from Tuwa. This forum amazes me with how efficient and helpful it can be sometimes.

Yep it is amazing. I was thinking it would be a long shot but worth asking.

I would like to get that ladder without the text on it so I can cut it down as I wouldn't have a rack at full height. But glad I have a similar idea that someone else accomplished even if we are not 100% using the same products. I like that the Tuwa is adjustable, I wish there was just another level below the 17" that it could have gone down. Maybe a 14" but I know it is limited due to the "buttress" design but the Shiprock version might work better.

How do you keep your sandy boots from taking off the bedside paint when stepping on the lower rung?

I was able to find the rack/ladder on ebay that is left blank (no text).

You can mount the Max Modular bed racks to those rails with these brackets they make: https://www.max-modular.com/attachment-brackets/retraxone-xr-brackets
