Does it come with those rails? I’m not getting the bed rails factory installed. Will I need to purchase aftermarket?Here is mines installed with a Max Modular 18in rack.
When you say “ those rails” are you referring to the T-slots in the Bak Revolver rails?
good idea about the Jeep wrench, didn’t think to try that.
I got it to work for me.good idea about the Jeep wrench, didn’t think to try that.
exactly my thoughts too on ski racks, etc.
Pictures of side rails. etrailer.com shows some Truck Hero and Thule TracRac that are expensive/ugly.
upon further research (and head start from @clweed) I was looking at t-slot and Yakima racks.
the Yakima skyline mount and Landing Pad #1 fits per his pictures..
Sounds like by measurements landing pad #4 fit. (T-slot nuts for #1 are 7/8 x 11/16”; #4 is 1-1/2 x 13/16”). I haven’t measured the rail with calipers but my rough pictures look like #4 would fit; may be too tight.
the adjustable Yakima Overhaul HD doesn’t fit the rail because of the lips underneath; however, they sell rubber base pads as Tonneau Kit 1 that look like they would work.
I thought the rails would make it pretty easy to add accessory rack but these options are pretty expensive!
I’m not convinced I need a rack this bad but it’s nice to have the option to add one.
I might just use the lower Skyline mounts to save a few bucks..
NOICE!!!I got it to work for me.
Bak Revolver X4 with Yakima Overhaul HD with added tonneau kit.
Slides into T-slot channel.
Couple of issues you will have is rolling the cover up to the front of the cab you have to force it past the tower at the cab. (It will go past just not smoothly)
Second issue is the rubber seal on the Bak Revolver will be slightly raised resting on the towers. Nothing I was concerned about and used the system for about 3 weeks when I decided to change to a Overland build.
Yes the T-bolts are the only thing that goes into the Bak rails. The legs go onto the tonneau rubber pads and the extra rubber/plastic hanging over (to me) give it a little more stability. The system is made strong when bolted together with the cross bars.NOICE!!!
I think you just convinced me to go for it.
With the tonneau pads (tonneau kit 1) the T-bolts are the only thing that goes in the rail?
since the lips on the bottom of the Overhaul don't fit over the BAK rail, and you have to use the pad under it, that means the Overhaul is just sitting on top of the rubber pad, not in the channel as it should be on other trucks, and the only thing holding it all down to the are those couple bolts?
Am I making sense?
Just wondering if it seems sturdy...
Do both the BAK Revolver cover and the Yakima Overhaul HD still allow use of the factory trail rail inside the bed?
I am looking at this setup. Anything special you had to do or modify on the BakFlip or the Max Modular?Here is mines installed with a Max Modular 18in rack.
