After a lot of research, a lot of thinking and a lot of measuring I went ahead and bought the KB VooDoo MAX Modular 18" aluminum bed rack with the tonneau cover brackets and the JT trail rail brackets for my JT. As I was pointed over to the Taco site and several threads about poor powder...
Here you go, A few hitches on the install needing some on the site modding so it took a good deal longer than expected there were several minuses that would have tell folks what to be aware of. But the build quality was quite good. I just had issues with the JT trail rail brackets for the...
