RCI bed rack with Roll'n'Lock tonneau

[AlternateRoutes]

It was like the tonneau adapter braces were made for this configuration. I way over-thought it before starting because it only required a few small modifications.

I’ve been overthinking the combo of the RCI or a similar tonneau compatible bed rack with a truck cover USA tonneau. You mentioned minor modifications. What was required?

My Yeti 24 doesn't really fit under my BakFlip which sits higher than that roller cover does. Can make it work if it's in the middle but it would bow. It's close on my Yeti 65. Similarly a Diamond bucket of baseballs is a bit taller than the BakFlip would like.

So my question is on that Roll n Lock which is a little lower... do you run into any certain items that don't fit, or are very tight? And how does the cover respond? Like mentioned, I can get the Bakflip to adjust a little bit but it doesn't sit in the rails like that one.

The RollnLock isn't really forgiving. It'll bow a little but that causes the side latches to lose their grip, causing it to begin sliding closed.

My Firman 2100 generators barely fit under but the 5 gallon gas tank doesn't.

All in all I'm really happy with the rollnlock.

2 things: I filed the back edges of the roller cover because the front most brackets kept it from seating fully, and I cut out the inside edges of the plastic bed siderail covers just enough to allow room for the heads of the carriage bolts used to secure the tonneau adapter brackets to the Trail Rail.

I think I can picture what your describing. I have the Roll n lock and I’ve been eyeing the RCI set up. Seems to be the only one out there that will work, besides fabricating. Thanks for posting.

I’ve got the rollnlock and can barely fit my dometic CFX3-35 under it (and I mean it actually touches the fridge lid, but still closes). That’s with a bare, no liner bed. It’s because because of the metal edge at the end of the cover that hangs lower than the rest of the cover. Once closed, there’s probably 1.5” of space or so between the lid of the fridge and the underside of the tonneau cover. So I just toss my fridge on the back seat on a towel so the feet don’t leave impressions in the pleather.
