Best Overland Bed Rack

Don't know the measurements, as I don't own it any more. The top was a softopper brand.

 

Any ETA yet?

 

3-5 weeks.
10 cab racks should be done this week and then on to some bed racks.

 

I have the CBI aluminum rack. Love it. The only complaint I have is the space below the logo is kind of tight for sticking your arm through to get at stuff in the bed or to tie things down.

 

Love my dissent racks. @Dissent86



Get compliments on these everywhere I go.

 

Nice. I was about to ask you for details, but I'll contact Ben.
Any suggestions related to instal or utility of these beautiful racks?

 

I haven't found anything I can't do with these racks. I've loaded them just to load them. They have mounting points virtually everywhere . Mount everything from A-Z . Plus everywhere I go I get compliments . Talk to Ben.

 

Thanks. Will do. I'm tired of putting on & off the ugly old TracRacs left over from my Gen2 when I need to haul long stuff. Those are still way too short for hauling 20' or longer lumber on my rough unpaved road home.

 

Ok here is the cab rack alone from @Dissent86 Dissent offroad



Took 4-5 minutes alone to take bed rack off. I was taking my time lol .

Back view

 

I'm thinking @KB Voodoo will be the route I go. Just placed an order for my tent annex and awning (deployment money FTW!) And have been trying to figure out what I want rack vs bars... Since I got the awning and such it looks like I'll need a rack for the height, but I don't want the tent too far above the roof.... I want my cake and I want it hand fed to me! Lol...


Dissent, that's a beauty of a rack (haha...) You got there. .. good work.

 

I've got a new bed rack design that will be available in a few weeks if you're interested. I'm waiting for prototype pics before I show them publicly, but I can PM renderings of you like.

 

I'll take a look if you don't mind. I see your in Florida (by your profile) hope all is well.my parents are down there and had to test the hurricane boards on their house for the first time.

 

Thanks. For the most part, we did well. No power, some minor damage, but everyone is safe. Thanks. PM inbound.

 

First ty for serving . Mid height and a cab rack for the awning might work.
Or Cab height bedrack with awning on opposite side .

 

Thanks, least I can do to help those guys doing the real work ( I'm medical)

Never thought of that actually, only thing I can see is I ordered the fox wing that'll start at my annex and go the whole way around the truck so that might pose some issue.

Annnnd that's another rack I have to buy lol!

 

I have a mid rack for some things , but I use the talk rack mostly. I put the RTT and awning on. Your fox wing would work great. I used to use one but got lazy as it took to long to depot and retract for me.
The biggest concern I had was the drag on the MPG...can't see any difference tho.
You will love the tall rack for side mount options also.

 

Thanks for the input. I have a tendency to over research and analyze until I'm not even sure I know what I want lol.

How does the tall racks affect driveability off road, aside from the whole tree branch thing.

 

This is @Dissent86 looks like it's pretty capable.


I've taken mine with RTT, kayaks awning and a tour bag upfront and no noise and handles great

 

Some are more then just bent metal .
Some are not only ultra functional but pretty great looking too

 

Thanks,
For the awning you are definitely going to want a tall rack!
I have had both short and tall and the only pro to the short rack is the lower tent height, other than that it really was not a good fit for my uses. with that said I am planing a mid height rack that will utalize my high rise awning mounts that may be a good option for you.
Feel free to reach out of you would like, I have ran a lot of different height racks and could go over some pros and cons.
