    thanks!

    I have looked into it but there is just no way to manufacture one in the USA and be able to price at a price the consumer will pay unless I do all manufacturing in house, so that is my goal. I know if I were doing all manufacturing in house I could build a high end US made product at an extremely competitive price.
    It will take me some time to get there though.

    Something like a pelican.

    Do you have any close up photos.

    Your web page is mostly far away side shots.

    Thanks

    This is the best I have but I can get more, this is the lc rack but same load bars. The nut inserts would be inserted on the underside of the slotted holes.
    I also am planning on offering aluminum cargo boxes for the rack. IMG_0051.jpg

    After reading the posts you said it wont work with a besttop. My question is if i dont need my side windows rolled up and i am using my besttop like a fiberglass shell. Will the besttop fit inside your rack and be able to be
    mounted. Would it work that way. I would love to gey one of these systems.

    The problem is the besttop frame is shaped oddly compared to the softtopper.
    The top corner of the frame hits the rack, to clear the besttop the rack would have to a couple inches wider.
    Where are you located?

    20180126_145431.jpg The bestop i have is a second gen. I would be willing to see about some sort of mod to the top to make it work. No problems going to your local if you wantto do some R & D.

    How many inches will the rack add to the height of the truck? With my lift I’m getting close to my garage door height.

    Great looking product! Are you planning on adding a rear door? I'm looking for a secure travel solution that either accommodates a tonneau cover, or can remove mine for traveling. If you added a rear door ( or window ) , in addition to the side doors, one wouldn't need a tonneau cover for security while traveling.

    Tried finding my q in here but ran out of time reading. This rack is awesome. My concern is not being able to fold the topper down with dismantling. So. How much is total weight and is it conceivable to unbolt and remove rack in a timely manner? Say if I needed to load a large object in the bed last minute and just needed to remove the rack. How long would that take one person. Thanks! This looks like an amazing product.

    I'd like the rear door option too. Too much expensive stuff to leave in the bed without some deterrence.

    Is that a vinyl across the bottom? Looks sweet. If you don't mind sharing where you got it I would appreciate it!
