If this was made with 3 crossover hoops that stretched the length to the full bed then make a canvas cover for it?
Clear window up front and a zippered rear window in back.
Tent up top and dry storage below!
Most sail maker/marine canvas shop could make it.

Is it just me, or does anyone else think the JCR full height rack looks like I dropped a couple of sawhorses on top of my Gladiator?
Yea. not the best looking rack.

thats a nice rack, but it isn't cheap! Especially when you start adding accessories. Its pretty much the same as the leitner. I do like the no drill installation. I also like that it leaves the cargo rails open for other things. An interesting and good option to say the least. Now how do I enclose it?!

why can't anybody make a rack that follows the angle of the cab in relation to the bed? BOOH! Is this a a dynamic load thing @BuiltRight ? ( i know its not your design, but you're a smart nice guy)

I'm in the same boat as you... I almost want a rack that's like a shell, but is modular and open. Contoured and cab height would be fantastic. Not everyone likes a Rooftop tent for overlanding :punch:

UGHHHH!!!
HOLY WASTED SPACE BATMAN! The bed is only 60" long. I'm guessing that triangle piece is there for front to back stability but i can think of another way.

Would have to move the front to rear RTT bars to the corner of the vertical legs and then have a diagonal brace at the top. Like this kind of idea. Not sure if that is dynamic load approved for RTT rock crawling though. lol
