Bed Rack Question??

I have a 2018 TRD OR DBL Cab short bed I'm in the market for a bed rack that will go over my Smittybilt Smartcover. I'm not seeing much out there but maybe you guys can recommend me a rack. I want it to be able to hold up a tent and a couple of people sleeping in the tent. (post a pic so I can see what they look like).

 

Kb voodoo makes a few options for tonneau covers. They have brackets that let the rack sit over the cover. I assume they'd work with the smart cover but you may want to double check with them. http://www.kbvoodoo.com/shop/

 

I checked them out but I'm seeing alot of post about their rust issues. I don't want to invest a $1,000 on a bed rack and rack accessories and have it rust out on me.

 

Yeah, I have one myself and it did rust after 6 months. I ended up painting it with rustoleum rust stopper and then truckbed liner spray paint. It's a shame because it's a great rack and design, just bad powder coating (even though they claim they have fixed this issue).

 

I appreciate you sharing your experience with your rack system.

 

I haven't had any rust on mine. But I live in a very dry climate. It arrived in perfect condition. I've had it 18 months and still looks great.

I live in the PNW, about 10 mins from the Sound. I might look into aluminum ones.

 

Just don't look at it as an investment. You will feel better knowing it's just a bolted piece of depreciating equipment.
