My current setup is two Rocky Mounts Monorail trays on brackets I made to fit the VooDoo Fabrication rack. I have two 1UP trays that I have new ideas for coming soon. I hate taking the front wheel off. We have 4 bikes with all different size thru axels.

I have a Yakima roof rack and hitch rack. Both work great. For the Gladiator I wanted something easy, where I didn't need to remove the front wheel, and was easily removable.
The foam helps with roadie tire width, otherwise fits a mtb without it. Takes up very little space, weighs 5 pounds, out of the truck in 30 seconds.

Not a mountain bike but I have a Yakima rack system with a trifold cover. I have to buy a t-slot rail to make it all work.

Do you have a link or part # for that T-SLot rail?
Thanks.
Looks nice and clean.

I do wish the lip that sat on the bed was the full length but it still looks good and I haven’t had any issues with water

If you do you could probably hook something up with some weather stripping. Now to find out if this setup would be strong enough to hold a Roof Top Tent.

I am surprised to see not very many people using just a hitched bike rack. Just got my Mojave and trying to decide to buy a hitch for my rack or just get a tailgate pad

I used to use a hitch rack, but gave it up for a few reasons:
1: can't tow anything at the same time...
2: when not towing you lose the backup camera and park sense.
3: can't get stuff out of the bed because the tailgate won't drop all the way. (Or need to roll up the tonneau, which can be a pain if it's raining)
I have used every kind of rack and found this method be the solution with the fewest downsides... And it's low enough to go through most drive-throughs as well!

Makes sense. Tell me how and what I need to get to do this to my new Mojave.

FYI all the credit goes to Dreaded1 way back on page 2 of this thread. I modeled my build on his, but it consists of a pair of KB VooDoo cross bars and Yakima HighRoad bike mounts. I fit 4 and can fit 4 bikes. You did need to go to the hardware store and pick up a few stainless nuts, bolts and washers to mount the bike racks to the cross bars because the rubber straps that come with the Yakima mounts are not long enough to go around the beefy KB VooDoo bars.
An added perk is you can roll up the factory soft tonneau without removing the bars. Pretty handy.
