Funny I was looking just 2 days ago to see if the snail trail rail would fit. I believe it would; based on the fact that when I had my Frontier, the Tyger fit no problems with the snail trail rail.

It's not water proof, but left out in the rain I've never seen a drop of water get in. Washing it with a garden hose I have never seen the water get in, neither. It's a great deal. 10% for email signup which they're gonna get your email anyway. I think I've had mine on for 2 years and no sign of deterioration at all.
Snail trail rail! šŸ˜‚

I may contact the company to find out if it’s compatible with the rail system. I like the idea of extra tie down locations.

On a local fb Jeep group page someone said they have had no issues and they have had there’s for 3 yrs. That’s definitely intriguing at the price point.

Hey if I recall correctly, now that I think of it, the Tyger comes with 2 sets of brackets - one for with and one for without the snail trail rail.

1. Love the color of your gladiator!

2. Your cover is a retractable?

3. I like the T slot option some of these bed covers offer. But I’m not a fan of the price they come at lol šŸ˜‚

Thank you! Back when I ordered it I wasn’t sure so I opted for snazzberry. It showed up and it just wasn’t for me and I had a great dealer so I ordered the nacho and it was love at first sight!

Yes its a power cover and afaik the only one with a tool box. I also really like that it keys into jeep so it’ll open closer lock and unlock with the same remote.

It’s definitely not the cheapest option out there but imo its the most secure option and the t slot flexibility is great. Ive got lots of ideas. The brand is EGR USA

I got a rough country tri fold to work with the blackhorse atlas.
The cover needs some supplemental weatherstripping, but otherwise worked fine.
NOTE: you have to remove the tonneau(if already installed) then install the supports for the rack, then the tonneau bolts to the rack supports. You MIGHT have to redrill the tonneau cover supports if they don't line up. (for tonneaus that have a screw going through them to support the 3rd fold)
Pro tip: there's little angle pieces that go inside the supports, install them last( i used super glue to hold them in and they have been fine for 2 months) if you install them as directed you wont be able to get the tonneau in properly, and using the Allen wrench to tighten the rack pillars will make you insane.
now i only can get it to fold once, and then up it touches the bars. dandy for me as i don't haul stuff so its still easy to get things i do keep in the bed out.

I have the Rebel half rack and the Access Lite Rider Tonneau and it works together. I just did an install video on it the other day too.

I designed a set of custom mounting brackets to support a set of Adarack Aluminum Series bed racks, and had them bent out of stainless steel by a metal fabrication company. I use them to carry surfboards and SUPs on and off road. They bolt into a set of aftermarket trail rails, and allow full deployment of the factory soft Tonneau cover. I used the racks made for an F-150 to get longer bars and taller racks, so I can clear the soft top when it’s folded down.

Edit: Since the initial install, I wasn’t quite satisfied with how stiff the system was when loaded with surfboards and SUPs while driving off road. I often surf on the Outer Beach of Cape Cod, and the sand trails out the beach are often in rough shape, with lots of washboard, whoopdies and ruts. I decided to add the Adirack Overland Bars to tie the front and rear racks together to stiffen up the system. They are very beefy extruded multi channel aluminum bars that you cut to length and bolt to the rack uprights. It took some carful measuring and a modification of the included drilling template, but the upgrade turned out great, and made the rack system absolutely rigid. I used some webbing straps and clamps to keep everything square and true while drilling the racks, shown in the last photo. In the future, I can mount things to the Overland bars like shovels or recovery boards. In the meantime, they do a great job of carrying my surfboards over rough terrain.

Nice video! Informative. I’ve seen a couple other videos where they use the access light rider cover.

The overhang is a tradeoff for sure, but it doesn’t really bother me. I prefer that over the systems that put the tonneau cover inside the bed rails, which effectively narrows the top of the truck bed.

Check out TRUKD racks. I ran their original version for years, and recently upgraded to version 2 for the increased strength and adjustability.

If they’re not the only one, they’re one of the very few that even work with the factory Jeep tonneau cover. The Jeep cover is wider than most others.

I like the material of that tonneau cover, it looks like the premium version of the Mopar soft tops. What brand is that one?
