Hey guys this is what I have going on so far with the pickup. The biggest hurdle I had with how I wanted this configuration was finding bed racks that I didn't have to drill in to the new cover or my truck bed. I did find one rack system, KB voodoo, but its design seemed to be lacking in strength. Also from what I could tell it looked like the rack actually relied on the cover as support as its brackets "rested" on the cover. Also I'm not big on having the rack/tent up high above the cab and I personally favor the more low profile, streamline look. Anyway, I dreamed up a little and started buying some iron. I am by no means some sort of master fabricator and have limited knowledge on a lot of things, but I do know how to use the basic stuff, including a welder. Also, I was a bit taken back by the price of some of these racks. I had already spent a good amount on the cover and tent so it was nice to put some of my skills and brain together to save me a few bucks. I bought 6ft lengths of just about everything(overkill) and the total for steel was ~$68 bucks, less than half the price of the cheapest rack I could find. I still need to tweak the mounting brackets and put a few coats of paint on it but I think it turned out fairly well. If anyone has questions or want to see more of the rack let me know!
