    I love mine! I've had a few different racks. Started out with a KB Voodoo Rack, then I went to a DiamondBack cover with Front Runner bars, then I finally settled on the Leitner. Its very versatile with the different ways you can kit it out, and with the adjustable rear crossbar. Makes loading and unloading mountain bikes a lot easier. I think it really shines with the Leitner accessories, with different size gear pods, mounting plates, their wiring covers. Every aspect of the rack is very thought out. Tho I do have the newer Aluminum version.

    Great looking rig right there. I am pretty convinced this is the way I’ll go.

    Oh man…
    Couldn’t be happier or more impressed with this rack. It does EVERYTHING well. I picked up 8 tie down points for it that only take a couple seconds to install anywhere you want.

    Picture heavy, hope it helps. iKamper is going on today, I’ll grab some pics of it. Feel free to ask any questions and if there’s any other pics you want just ask.

    Here’s another of some quick fists. Wherever there’s a rail, you can mount something to it.

    @JDSmith What are you plans with the two brackets on your rear bar or are those the tent mounting brackets?

    Oh man…
    Those are light brackets, just put them on to see if I liked them there. Going to mount in a different spot, just not sure where. They make all kinds of stuff for the rack. I just threw in what I thought I’d want for later on. For the tent I actually got the iKamper specific brackets.

    iKamper just got delivered and mounting was one of the easiest things I’ve done. I really like that it’s up high enough I can walk under it and I’m 6’1”. Haven’t even put the lift or tires on yet. Plenty of ladder left also. 4 bolts and it comes off to use it for truck stuff. I like how it sits on the rubber inserts that the top rack rails have. I tightened down the brackets to the tent, then tightened them to the rack. Sits snug and nothing moves. Took it for a drive, super solid.

    Ah gotcha, I'm in the process of installing my Switch Pro, and getting some ditch lights going. But have been thinking about running chase lights as well. I'm thinking I'm going to use those pre drilled/threaded holes on the rear braces. Then pick up Leitners covers.

    Good looking truck with that tent on there man. You gonna fill in those empty spots with a couple gear pods?
