Bed Rack Options / pic

Let's see what all bed rack options are out here post some pics pros an cons.
Thanks in advance

 

Best I've come up with so far for my needs.


Yakima BedRock Bed System
















Fucking Pollen.....





It is a stable platform for most anything you want to put up on top. The possibilities are endless





​

 

Been looking at that one, I do like it... Thinking about the All Pro pack rack but yours seems a lot more usable. I think I can pull off putting my kayak carriers on the all pro a clear cab. Maybe others will post.

 

I checked tonight. I've got enough room for my kayak mounts on either side of the basket. I've got a Dagger 10.5 Axis boat. It sticks off the back quite a bit though.

 

BAMF bed rack

 

^^ Now that is the real shit there ^^

 

Could build one, I did. First project but it came out OK. I would invest in a tube bender if I did it again

 

I do love the bamf one.. he makes some awesome stuff.

 

Works for me and keeps other stuff dry.

 

Any others out here?

 

I just put this on. I had the guys at Relentless build me some crossbars that are a bit taller than their normal ones. The crossbars have tabs for a high lift and for some quick-fists to mount a shovel. I added a yakima load warrior to the top and can mount an ARB awning to either side - or off the back.

 

Cruisin Offroad near US/British Columbia border. The US folks can save a lot of money with the strong American dollar. Check him out.

 

I ordered the Yakima Bedrock system before my truck came in and have some serious reservations about it after 6+ months of use hauling plastic boats.

1. The manner in which it cinches against the plastic bed rails is suspect.

2. At least 8" of the bed length is wasted as the rails do not run the entire way to the tail gate. The angle gets worse with longer boats.

3. Lifting waterlogged boats over the bars defeats the purpose of hauling them in a truck bed.

4. Using J-cradles on the Bedrock without a headache rack would make me a little nervous

I do like having the boats and tailgate both padded from one another, though. If I had to to do it again I'd go with something like KB Voodoo's crossbar system and add surf pads.

 

I've got a completely different opinion on the BedRock system. IMO it is rock solid. The Bars will not move at all (at least not on my truck). I don't mind putting my Kayak on them though you have a valid concern about the headache rack. I've got a set of KB VooDoo's racks and honestly I wouldn't consider putting my kayak on them along with my Load Warrior. Don't get me wrong they are a quality product but the weak link being that they are attached to the cleats themselves. I actually put a set of old Yakima Crossbars underneath them just to keep the Load Warrior from bouncing around so much.

Original set up. They look good but I would never put more than 60-70 lbs on them. Until I put the bars underneath them the basket would bounce over every bump.
After I put the bars underneath it was much better but did nothing for adding weight.





BedRock System. Much more stable. I have no reservations about putting much more weight in the basket now since it is distributed to the bed rails instead of the cleats.

RearViewMirror,

Sweet looking truck, man. Say, the basket you have on your bedrock? Where did you pick that up? Does it come as a full set? Bars and Basket? Thanks

Thank you!

As far as the rack goes... You basically piecemeal everything from Yakima to fit your specific needs. As far as I know they don't offer a specific set of anything.

Yakima - BedRock Tower System for Truck Bed Storage

BedRock System

$499 Yakima LoadWarrior Medium Sized Heavy Duty Steel Cargo Basket Roof Rack with Universal Mounting Hardware for All Yakima StreamLine Crossbars, Black

Load Warrior Basket *Note: Does not come with a cargo net*

$130 Yakima - RoundBars for Roof Rack Systems, Large (66")

66" Cross Bars


That is my total set up and where I bought it from. On a side note I don't "believe" that the lock cores were supposed to be included with the BedRock mount. They were installed in the set which was great since they are almost $60.

 

Dang. Somehow my pics disappeared. Here we go again.

 

Thanks guys. I really like the look of it. Couldn't be happier
