One final question: did you have to drill your bed rails to install the side Adarac Utility Rails? I have Trail Rails on my Gladiator, and there seems to be a version of the system specific to that, but the installation video only. shows drilling the bed rails of the truck. It’s not clear if...

I purchased the DIMIC system and I’m very pleased with it. Fit and finish are excellent, the rails are very sturdy the hardware set is decent quality, and you get an extra pair of bolts. The 6 tie down cleats are good quality as well. It looks exactly like the MOPAR rail set. For $219, it’s a...

I've read a number of threads on this, but haven't seen any info on the DIMIC Trail Rail system sold on Amazon. At $219 delivered, it's substantially less expensive than the Mopar kit, and the ad claims the rails are stainless steel. DICMIC Trail Rail System Tie Down Rail Compatible with...

Thanks for the response, that’s super helpful. I may just order one of their integrated rack and Tonneau kits, but see if they’d be willing to substitute the taller rack bars. For what I want to do, this seems like the best product out there.

That looks like one of the best out of the box systems that allow racks and a tonneau. Do you have any sense if the factory tonneau work with this system? Also, I'm curious about ordering the taller rack bars. I'd like to be able to put my SUPs and surfboards on top with my factory soft top...

It works, but I thing the key is to minimize front overhand to keep lifting forces low. Keeping static loads reasonable makes sense too. I put a 9’-3” SUP on traditional Thule racks regularly, but set it as far aft as I reasonably can. Feels secure and not overloaded. Photo show was moving my...

Tha’ts a great looking rack system, just what I’m looking for, but with a tonneau instead of the bed topper. Did you custom build that, purchase it, or modify off the shelf components?

I bought my Rubicon used, and it came with the factory roll up cover. I prefer the twill material to the shiny vinyl offered in many of the aftermarket covers, and I’m amazed at how well is sheds water. I’ve had the bed loaded with luggage and gear in some heavy New England thunderstorms, and...

Keep in mind that the 12v lighter socket and the trailer plug are both designed for low current applications. The wiring is going to be light, and pulling a lot of current through it is not a great idea. My experience with a variety of lighter socket type compressors is that they are very slow...

Airing down is essential for driving on soft sand, in my case on the beach and surrounding dunes. By airing down, the sidewalls bag out and provide a much bigger contact patch, which allows the tires to float instead of dig. It also makes things much easier on the driveline components. I...

I've used the Trailhead automatic tire deflators for years now, and highly recommend them. They hold their calibration and provide a fast air-own. For the beach, I typically go to 11 psi, and they get there quickly. For inflation, I use a GSPSCN 12 V compressor from Amazon. It's powered...

Black wheels really don't look that good.

Great info, thanks. Your system is the most professional looking DIY rack I've seen.

This looks like a nice setup. Web page notes drilling needed, can you describe how it's installed? Also, how is the tonneau cover quality? Does it seal well? Any detailed pictures of the mounting sytem?

I see that both racks are on the hard top gutters only. Any issues with wobble or lift with the narrow bar spread? It's nice to be able to remove the Freedom Panels with the racks installed. My application would be a 9-3 SUP.

Nice build, a modified version might be just the thing for carrying surfboards and SUPs. Is your sense that the track would be strong enough for that? Weight is not the concern as much as uplift force.

That looks like a clean solution. Is it just a friction fit back there? Any chance of it sliding out the side or dropping off somehow?

I grew up surfing and fishing on the beaches of Cape Cod. During one of my summer restaurant jobs, I was exposed to driving on the outer beach, which opened up an infinite number of uncrowded surf spots, and a much more relaxed way to enjoy the beach. Hauling surf fishing gear became much...

Is this still available?

Hugh, Is this still available? If so, how much to ship to 02642? I'm curious why you are selling. Thanks, Andy
