I went with the Overland Vehicle Systems Freedom rack for price and simplicity. It works for my RTT and will do the job, but it's not a Leitner either. Had I enough coin I'd have gone that route, but at almost 2k, seems ridiculous cost when a lot more metal for an RSI cap is twice that. Just hope mine holds up until I can get it on something a little more trustworthy.

Been very happy with the modularity and low-profile nature of the BillieBars setup. Have gear on it since this photo, but still waiting to get a RTT for it.

I really like the look of this one, what tonneau cover is that? I got the oedro one and it comes close to the edges like yours does from what I have seen in pictures, which has me concerned for my future bed rack options

That's just a Tyger T3 from Amazon. Nothing special. But this setup works with virtually all tonneau covers that sit on top of the bed frame. Rolling covers can sometimes roll up under the cross rails, but in my case, if I want to open it up entirely, I just need to pop off the rails which takes all of 60 seconds to do. Seems like a fair trade to me.

I just installed an aluminum Voodoo rack from Max Modular. Awesome company to deal with. I went with the 14" rack with the tonneau cover brackets and could not be happier. I am able to use my factory tonneau cover. It is also the perfect height with those tonneau brackets. You do not notice it at all in the rearview mirror. I added my own homemade brackets on top to carry my Kayak. The rack only weights 45lbs which is also a plus to me.

Very good packaging. Just two boxes.

I spent about and hour assembling the rack.

My kayak mounts also gave me the perfect place to put my Gazelle tent. I will be adding some more mounts to the rack in the coming weeks.

I'm very happy with my Maximus 3 full height. It's super light and super strong. I didnt want to loose my mirror visibility as I back out of a blind driveway every

morning. Lack of visibility makes things feel a little claustrophobic.

Looks great! I've also a great experience working with the guys over at KB Voodoo. Great products, great service, Made in the USA, and they support the Military.
