Soft top w/ rack

Hi folks, just trying to see if anyone has a soft top cap (softopper or bestop) & is running a rack on top? I know some make the rack, like sosconcepts but I'm thinking like a contractor type rack?

funny you should ask this, I am in the same boat. I just bought the type of rack below for about $100.
Going to get some angle iron space it away from the top. Curious to see what you do.

 

I made mine. Not sure if @Mobtown Offroad is still working on one. There was something in the works a while back.

 

@Nimble9

 

I might have something to show later today.

 

That's dope. Did you bolt on the brackets at the bottom there to the bed or clamps?

 

I was thinking putting angle spacers along the bed rails & weather strip(?). Just don't know the details yet as I haven't even put on my bestop

 

Do tell Sergio

 

in the works! Prototype in Queue

 

I assume they are the same, I have a softopper, it has a weatherstrip attached to the bottom of the rail that runs the length of the bed rail. Once I get the bracket made i will see if I have to trim it, hoping to just compress it and have it seal "well enough". By my rough initial measurements(if i remember correctly), its approx 2.5 in to center of bed rail channel and i need about 5" out to clear the top. so i found this angle iron, I plan on purchasing it this weekend

 

@SOS CONCEPTS

 

I bolted them down to the bed rails. Makes it universal for multiple bedrack setups. I also made a flush mount bedrack that bolts to the same mounts.

 

@icetreye @madsand

 

don't have time to find the picts right now, but there are some in my thread. Ill try to put some up later.

 

It'll be installed in a couple hours. Also got tracking info on the new tool today. Should be here next week and you're first on deck once it's set up.

 

Sweet thank you sir

 

have you put heavy loads on top of the rack? I've been running around w/ like +200lbs lumber & they've just been resting on the tailgate

 

Definitely interested too (; I was talking with Ryan and he said he cut out some stuff for you to make the side mounted bike racks as well, I'll send you a PM soon

 

It’s done. We are trying to get it powder coated.

 

I've carried 500+ pounds on it with no issues
