TKM or HookeRoad bed racks

[Gr8Hortoni]

Anyone have experience with the TKM or HookeRoad mid height bed racks? Looking to mount my FSR tent and these are currently the extent of the budget I have. Any info on either one is appreciated.

I would not buy Hooke Road- I have had a couple of their products in the past, and their finish/powder coat is garbage. Surface rust after a month. Beware of any of the lower cost Amazon steel parts.

One option would be to purchase a set of rails that are compatible with the factory Trail Rail System (2020 JEEP GLADIATOR JT Trail Rail System Crossbars NEW OEM MOPAR, around $350
on eBay) and then purchase a good rack later. Provided you have the rail system. If not, I believe there are crossbars that can bolt on where the trail rail system bolts on. Both are a decent option for short term.

Folks change up their load-out/layout config quite often, if possible try to catch a quality used rack vs. this disposable stuff. This will look like a rusted out erector set based DIY rack in a year plus you'll feel the poor quality while in the tent. I saw a 2k Litner full rack go for $900 the other day. Your budget should allow for a very nice used half rack.

I’ve been looking, but lately everyone thinks their stuff is dipped in fairy dust and glitter. I’m locked in at around $600 for my budget, my tent is too large for bed bars, I need a full length rack. If the shitty powder coat is the most of my troubles I’m good with that. I can have it blasted locally in a year and then I’m good for as long as the thing is around.

That second one, looks like a rip off of the Fishbone Tackle half Rack.

You’re the second one that’s said that, I was thinking more like an rci rack, but you’re not far off either.

I am in the process of building my own if you have the resources.

I saw that. Excellent workmanship.

Looks like this JCR rack is gonna fall into my lap, going to pick it up this weekend.
