That's a good looking truck brother! How do you like the diamondback under the bed rack? Does it make accessing the bed a PITA?

 

Thank you! When I daily the truck, I usually don't have the load bars or rtt on so I can open the diamond back and access the bed. And when I need the height, it's easily removable. Takes me maybe less than 10 minutes by myself to take off and maybe 15-20 to put back on.

On trips, it's okay. I keep a camping bin, propane firepit, water cans, chairs, 20lb propane tank, skottle, trash bags/dirty clothes bag/duffle bags and tools in the bed. I do have to take everything out to set up camp and on 1-3 day trips, its manageable. But on my bigger trips, 5-10 days, it's gotten more of a hassle. Especially when it's raining (like my 7 day trip to Colorado). It was the best compromise I could do as a weekend warrior. But now that I purchased a jeep as a daily/rock crawler (I know, I know), I'm in the process of re-building this so its more organized on trips, especially the long ones. I'm swapping out the diamondback to a smart cap and probably going with drawers so that everything has a home instead of trying to play tetris with my gear in my camping bin and my bed.

 

I just realized there's a build forum so I'm moving this there:
