    I'm considering getting rid of my retrax and not running any tonneau cover so I can lower my rack a few inches, and actually get into my garage with a lift + RTT.

    Those of you who do run racks and no cover, how do you keep your stuff dry? I'm considering throwing everything into one of those home depot totes I have, but other than that would love to hear other ideas.

    Also do yall just load and unload your beds every time you head out so people don't steal your stuff?

    Temp solution is garbage bags. Long term is totes or dry bags. I have a dry bag as big as the bed lol.
    Don't haul shit If you don't need it and it won't get stolen.

    Doesn't help with theft but check out dry bags from rafting websites to keep thinks dry. I do lots of whitewater rafting so I get dual uses out of my dry bags.
