Bed racks with cover?

[Schreconjeep]

Prior post states they have the Access Literider tonneau cover with their JCR rack.

I have it installed with my Rebel Offroad XPlorer full height rack. I also have the Rebel Offroad rails installed. It is a TIGHT fit because the rails are closer together with the rack installed so closing the cover means having to pry out the rail side a bit. And I had to add some additional weatherstripping along the rail to close the gap between it and the bedside.

Just installed my Xplor full height rack and trying to get the lite rider back on. can you share a few pics of the front and rear corners so I can see where I need to be? thanks

The Access Literider is money. They make these specifically for people with Bed Racks. You need trail rails, but it mounts inside of the bed to the trail rails and doesn’t sit on or hardly overlap with the sidewall of the truck bed at all. I have a pretty easy time using mine with my rebel rack.
Cheers!

Any tips or tricks to dialing in the Lite rider with that rack would be greatly appreciated.
Throwing wrenches is not helping.

Only tip I have is walk away and drink a beer or two...several times!
Just put mine on yesterday with my jcr half rack, and I was frustrated as hell. Yes, I have a bed cover with my half rack, but not really sure how functional it will be other than a bed cover. Rolling it back won't be easy. Getting it lined up by myself was a nightmare. I do not have trail rail either btw.

Well you nailed it. Looks great. Mine is on and worked well on a trip but it’s not as tight as I’d like. More adjustments. And you’re right it won’t be easy to roll up but it still protects what’s in the bed.

Thanks! Drove mine for the first time yesterday too, and while it's as tight as I can get sitting, it flaps around a bit on the interstate. The tensioners it has are a joke!! Seriously! For the price of it, should be some better metal pieces that you can actually turn!

Well, finally got my bed rack and bed cover combo figured out. Had the Billiebars and Mopar cover, but was not satisfied. Switched to Bak Revolver X4S, Rhinorack Pioneer Platform, and Front Runner Legs. I am digging it. Looking forward to camping with it soon. It is where my Gazzel T4+Overland tent and a rooftop storage bag will reside, giving me the space in the bed for my fridge, cooler and other camping gear. The Rhinorack platforms are on clearance right now and it made more sense for my usage. Got the idea from other setups on here.

Great looking set up. I'm in a similar process. Currently have voodoo crossbars with an access soft cover and looking to switch to the X4S and front runner legs. Undecided if I'll do a platform like you did or cross bars again. How does the platform benefit you to justify the additional cost? It will be used for a RTT on camping/offroading trips for me.

Well the platform only cost me $250 not including shipping, And I plan on using it to haul my Gazzel T4 plus ground tent and a luggage bag that will take up the remainder of the platform. Luggage bag for use in storing and hauling all of our sleeping bags, cots, and a bunch of other items.

EDIT: Nevermind, I found it on their site after some digging. Thanks

Do you have a link to where you got the platform from? I think you may have convinced me to go with a platform. More versatile than crossbars

Yeah, they are very versatile, so many ways to configure and attach things. The platform also provides a surface of support for things like luggage, bags, cans, etc...

Nice setup! I have the X4s tonneau as well. Was disappointed the Yakima Overhaul interferes with the tonneau rolling up. This may be an alternative for me.

Do you know the weight capacity?

What size Pioneer platform is that?

The platform is 56"x60", not sure of the total weight capacity since it is a hodge podge of different equipment from different manufacturers. Should be more than strong enough for my use.

Thanks. I am ordering the platform today. That is a great deal for $250 + $59 shipping. Thanks for sharing.

Where did you get the Front Runner legs? I couldn't find them on their website. I am considering making a set to elevate the platform to be close to even with the roof line (so I can put Kayaks or SUPs on it).

I purchased the legs from Rhino Adventure Gear, you have to call since I don't think the legs themselves are listed on the website. Guy I spoke with was Cody from the San Diego store.

Do you know the model number for the legs you got? Also how tall are the legs you have in the pictures? I am wondering if they have any taller legs that will let the BAK X4s roll all the way back.
