A bed rack to work with bed tonneau cover

[MAG00]

Does anyone use or know of a bed rack installed in conjunction with a bed tonneau cover? If so, what are you using or know of? I am curious whether anyone make a bed rack that works with a bed cover. For example, a bed rack with a roll-n-lock retractable tonneau cover. My wife is not a fan of camper shells like the RSI smart cap or something similar.

You can use whatever accepts t slots. There's quite a few more than I'm listing below.

Billie Bars makes one for the gladiator: https://billiebars.com/products/copy-of-billiebars-for-retrax-gladiator

Yakima also makes attachments not specifically for the gladiator: https://yakima.com/search?view=shop&q=t-slot

@DrJ has a pretty clean rig. Runs TruckCoversUSA retractable cover with rails and Yakima bars.
I think I would do this if I weren’t going bed cap.

super happy with this setup and it’s practically bulletproof. Let me know if you have any questions

I also made my own extruded rack on top of my Bak x4. This could be pretty modular and useful, though to be honest I haven’t fully utilized it.

This is my setup. The racks are for ATVs. The diamondback covers can support 1600lbs i believe.

Wait, you park the atv up on those "Kolain" racks? Not just flat on the diamondback?
what do you use those rubber straps for?

I meant the racks are made for ATVs and I repurposed them. There is fishing rod holders and the rubber straps hold my beach surf rod holders and nets.

Roll n lock with t-slots and rhino rack platform works well for my needs.

I just used the Elevate rack system and the rack as well to have a rack that works with my bakflip mx4 seems solid. I may end up tweaking the seals for it but for right now that isn’t my biggest need.

DiamondbackHD + PakRax has been a dream for us. Super sturdy, wings still open, and gives us 3 levels of storage to stay out longer with more gear.
