BuiltRight Industries Bedside Racks - Any Interest?

I looked on the site to begin with and only saw Ford items.

you're good now though....correct?

Sorry for going MIA recently - been scrambling to get everything ready for SEMA. Utility rail kits are almost ready to ship! I didn't want to accept payment before we had the majority of parts ready because I'm trying to be as aggressive as possible with pricing and you never really know until manufacturing is complete. Look for details later tonight - working on writing them up and a short summary video right now!

Hey everyone--I am thinking of getting a set of these but had a couple of questions:

@BuiltRight , I've got the Mopar Tri fold hard tonneau cover which has the flexible drain lines that connect at the front of the bed. Is there enough room to route these behind or have an option to cut out a portion of the front racks to allow those lines?

For those of you with Power Tanks: Before I order the racks I want to figure out a good solution for mounting. It looks like there is 16" of clearance from the bottom of the bed to the tonneau cover, yet the Power tank is over 23" tall (10# with regulators and guard). It looks like the mount plate that came with my Powertank may work if you rotate the bottle 90 degrees and lean the tank back at an angle and then mount the plate to the Builtright rack at an angle. Has anyone tried this successfully or do you have any other methods for mounting a PT?

Thanks!

I have been racking my brain over my power tank. I am really surprised when I reached out to them, they did not have much to say and gave me little confidence they were putting any priority into a solution.

Our panels should be a great solution for the powertank using their bracket. We have TONS of Ford customers using them like you describe, at an angle. The lower mounting point on our panels is important with an item that heavy, so if you mount it at an angle, mount it leaning forward to keep that mass near a rigid mounting location. Make sense?

Maybe I'll pick up a powertank with their most updated mount to experiment with.

Thanks Matt - I am extremely interested and will look around to see if I can see any examples. The amount of worry I have about it bouncing around while I am on the trails or in Moab on the rock keeps me up at night. I have seen only one other option that is a raised cross-member mount. If you guys can solve this with confidence, you will be praised! Powertank does not seem like they even want to look at mounts.

Just playing with it, looks like if you mount the PT mount on the side and lean it back to 30-45 degrees it would sit low enough. The question is whether it will mate to the BR rack at this angle or maybe an adapter plate is needed...

Looks like a big metal bracket on there, easy to drill a few holes if they don't all line up.

Well when you say it like that... clearly I may be overthinking this! Looks like I’ll get these ordered up soon and see if we can figure it out.

You can figure it out., maybe I'm over simplifying it, but figure out the angle you want hopefully find one bolt hole that lines up and go from there.

@BuiltRight — for those that have the hard Tri fold tonneau covers there are drain hoses that go to the front of the box. Do you have an option to get the front panels with cut outs that allow for these hoses? I’d hate to try to cut and repaint the panels if I don’t have to. Any options here?
