Bed Racks

[Delkat]

Wondering if people have opinions on bed racks for my ZR2 pickup. I have a RTT coming for Xmas and need to get a rack to mount it. I am leaning toward a 12" modular rack from CBI, Datin or Relentless. I like the idea of keeping the tent lower but maintaining some room to mount things on the sides of the rack. The full size (16") seem to have more mounts available but I don't like the 200lbs of tent being up so high and aero hit I'll take.

Any experience with modular racks vs. welded and low mount vs. high?

Thanks

Yes, 589 is an option too. They don't seem to have as many mounting accessories, though. Which rack are you running?

I am interested in whether the taller rack is an issue for aero drag and or the weight of the RTT being up high causing stability issues off-road.

I know this is an old thread, but I was wondering what you decided to go with. I’m looking at a 12” rack from Datin Fab.

I bought a flush mount from 589 Fab to hold me over since it was low cost and I needed something for some upcoming trips. I am still planning to get the Relentless modular rack when it becomes available. I do like the 589 in that the RTT is tucked flush/below the roof so great aero and lower center of gravity but I can't access the bed as easily nor can I mount some items on the rack sides. The lower height Datin looks good but I think I'll wait for the Relentless since I am working with them on bumpers and feel like I can put a complete solution together based on the swing out tire carrier.

Thanks. I like the look of their rack for the Toyotas. Can’t wait to see what they do for Chevy as well.

That is a damn good looking truck. Now that URD has a SC for the Taco, I'm thinking about getting back into one.

New to OLB but really curious after not so successful searching, does anyone have any idea of companies that offer a bedrack system that will work with a tonnneau style cover? Either roll in lock or Retraxor similar flush hard cover? I understand some fabricators have made brackets that go around the covers but that just seems like a weak point to me. Any information would be much appreciated. I have found the Retrax Pro that offers a T bolt style railing but the 2 rail options I see are either extremely low or high I’m looking for a mid style height with option to mount accessories on the side of rack along with RTT.

I used a flush mount rack for about 6 months. I liked the low center of gravity, aero advantage and covered most of the bed for security. The downside was lack of room for storage. I’m trying a new modular rack from Relentless Fabrication.

I always in dilemma between topper or great rack with boxes . Too me a full enclosure is better you can sleep in, great rack is looks better, more functions. Unfortunately, nothing between
