    In addition to the NEW Bed Rail Bar, I'm also using the same "L" bracket to support the CB antenna. Works like a charm except I won't be giving these out for free like I did with others past. Sorry guys.

    Thanks brother. I should be posting a new thread on this bed rail bar to allow tw members to get on a group buy if you're interested. Need to work on the price factor first though.

    Wow, I would be in for the black 36" good price. And as someone posted earlier I too sometimes have 2 large dog kennels in the back and I dont think this will interfere.

    That's awesome guys. I'm stoked about this as well. Make sure you use the poll and vote on the "Yes I like it and would buy one". I'm using that to PM everyone about the Group buy as a courtesy. There will be an option to buy the additional mounts as well (for CB or other accessories).

    Anyway you could get a mount to work with a tonneau cover? Only way I see that working is if you had a bracket that would sit flush with the rear bedrail, and then come up and back over top of the tonneau. I would like to keep my trifecta cover, its sweet, but that is a sweet bed bar setup you have going on too, good luck!

    I'm sorry man. I'm not. If I did, you'd probably have to bolt it on through the sheet metal. I don't want that.

    Again, make sure you two take the poll and say that you'd buy one. If the group buy takes off, I think I'll end up taking $10 off the price. That would make it $55 tentatively and including shipping. You will not be disappointed with the quality of the bars as they are made of steel and not some cheap aluminum. Furthermore, I can use the poll information and PM you all when it kicks off.

    I wish I could man, but that would be a "U" shaped design with a lip on one side to accommodate the cover. Hmmm. Yeah no luck here. That's just as bad as not being able to use a CB antenna at the same time as a bed cover without rolling it up/folding it back sort of thing.

    I voted #2 because I'm buying a canopy at some point. That is a truely legit item! I see some accessories that looks like ways to just get peeps money, yours actually serves a purpose.
    With more offset to the interior, or spacers, one could have the canopy AND the bar.

    I like it. I'd buy one if I didn't have a cover. I have a small 6" deck that doesn't move on my Bakflip. I'd mount one on top of that (through the cover) if there was a bracket for it.

    As long as it mounts on an 05. And it kind of looks like it mounts into the bedrail. That would make it no drilling required correct?
