    Looking at the design of this and what my needs are and seeing that bold text statement makes this really appealing to me. I have had a plan to make my own that follows the roofline better and is wide enough to fit 4' wide sheet goods on. Also it seems like your mounting solution for the puny m6 stock mounting nutcerts seems sturdier than the competition. I am definitely interested in seeing one full cab length and wide enough for sheet goods. I also like how low profile yours is which was another thing when I have been sketching my DIY one out. I would like to see the center bolt utilized in mounting as to me a little overkill isn't a bad thing.

    Waiting to see the final products and a roof rack that to me seems like the best solution on the market.

    Sweet!!!!! Is there anyway to get the outer plates a little wider (taller) so they get closer to the roof line?

    It’s not adjusted down to the roof line in this picture. We switched bar design for something stronger and they will be here tomorrow. We will fit them tomorrow night and I’ll get a picture of the final alignment. It will be lower like the one of the tan truck.

    #Doozy4212 this has me chomping at the bit. All the little extras have me sold on this setup. If it has the ability to add the grab handles and also light tabs may as well put me on the waiting list

    Right!!!! The only thing is I don't need the rotopax or maxtracks holders same goes with ax and shovel so deleting those options to save a few bucks would be nice.

    The mounts will all be separate so run them if you're awesome, or be a square and don't :thumbsup:

    The rack that goes on the topper alone will have a handle about each rear wheel and two over the rear bumper for easy up and down. not sure what you mean by light tabs?

    Eh I like being square. The rack for me will be for hauling stuff. I'd want to keep that stuff off the roof lower.

    Well crap. Lol. Page 1 there was a post with a pic showing lights on a rack. Not realizing it wasn’t the rack in production. Unless I’m wrong

    Fair enough! These racks will truly do it all. If you have one, you're awesome by default

    The rack with lights on it is @mesojdm super custom build. that's his own, creative one off. upTOP will have lighting options which you will see in the next few days or so

    You're one lucky SOB getting to be the test Mule. Especially since it looks like these guys have their shit together on getting everything squared away before production.
