Bed rack that allows the tonneau cover

I guess that's assuming that the rail mounts for the tonneau aren't in the same place as the brackets for the bed rack, si?

 

Good call, the mounts for the tonneau are in the front and rear of the bed. I'm assuming if you can squeeze the brackets for the bed rack inbetween then it will work. Can't guarantee because I haven't tried myself. We'll have to wait and see what when someone tries it.

 

@KB Voodoo could you possibly get some measurements of where the brackets for the bed rack sits on the rails? that way @kevinlambchops can compare and measure on his, and then we have a definite answer for everyone!

 

I will get some pictures of the cover rolled back so you can see the mounting points then maybe @KB Voodoo can let us know if it will work or not. I have a LB if that makes any difference. (I might have more room between the mounting points than a SB, just a guess)

 

What model ARB Fridge did you get? Did you mount it directly to the bed or is it on a slider?

I am trying to figure out what size fridge that has a slider that would fit under the factory tonneau cover.

 

Hoping to get my @KBVoodoo rack and access original tonneau installed this weekend finally!!

My plan is to bolt my RTT to the rack and then take it on and off as needed by unbolting the upright from the bedrail bracket so that I don't mess with the tonneau and can keep it sealed

 

Some measurements from another thread:

Here's all the measurements I took from my short bed when I was considering the same thing. With no bed mat, you can fit anything 18.5 inches or shorter under the OEM tonneau.

60" long
42.5" between wheel wells
35" long wheel wells
10" high wheel wells
52.5" wide in back
18.5" high

 

This is what I did to prevent thieving. Locking the tailgate keeps them out. When I travel everything is packed in lockable waterproof storage bins for weather.

 

Thanks so much for the measurements, this helps out a lot.

Here is some info from ARB about their fridges.

37qt Fridge #10800352
H 16.9" x W 15" x D 27.8"

50qt Fridge #10800472
H 20" x W 15" x D 27.8" - too tall to fit under tonneau!

63qt Fridge #10800602
H 16.9" x W 17.7" x D 33.3"

82qt Fridge #10800782
H 20" x W 17.7" x D 33.3"- too tall to fit under tonneau!

All-Weather Fridge 63qt #10810602
H 17.1" x W 19.3" x D 32.3"

37qt-50qt Fridge Slide #10900021
Size: 28.5" x 18" x 3"
Tray Height: 1.85" - too tall to fit under tonneau!

63qt-82qt Fridge Slide #10900022
Size: 34" x 20.85" x 3.15"
Tray Height: 1.85" - too tall to fit under tonneau!

 

I might of gotten the tray height measurement wrong in my drawing. Since I don't actually own either, I am making a guess on what is available online. But if there is someone that can confirm my measurements. Is the Tray Height part of the height of the Fridge or the Tray Height where the Fridge will sit. I currently have the Fridge sitting on top of the Tray.

 

@cheuer actually took those measurements! I'm just passing them along

 

Do you have some where I can see the specs on this and how you did this? Because this is EXACTLY what I want lol, and I want to immulate you.

 

The basket is a Defender from Defenderrack.com. I bought it off a friend for my Cherokee. It just happens to fit the Taco bed just right. I welded some 2×2 angle for brackets. The rack is a diy weld kit from Allpro Offroad that I had lineX'd. Everything is mounted to the oem bed rail via 1/4 × 1x2flat stock that I drilled and tapped. The flat stock nuts slide in the bed rail as nuts.

 

Dude you're awesome, thanks!

 

@kevinlambchops You bought the jackrabbit cover but not the voodoo rack/brackets to go with it? I'm waiting to buy the cover until I know of a rack that I can use with it... and open the cover, completely. I would prefer a tri-fold but would settle for a rolling one as long as it's fully functional.

@KB Voodoo This pace Edwards company also offers "explorer tracks" which have bed-rail length slots for thule or Yakima style mounts. Do you offer any options for this for the tall rack system?

Thanks.

 

Here is a video about those "explorer rails". Thanks.

Sorry, we don't.

 

@KB Voodoo
is there any way you can get some measurements for where the brackets for the bedrack goes? I'm I'm dying to know if your system will work with the pace edwards switchblade retractable tonneau.

 

It does!!
