Bed Crossbars (pic heavy)

Excellent usage!!

 

I have a total of 6 aluminum brackets left. Get 'em while they're hot.

 

Any recommendations of brackets to mount a mountain bike or two on the rails. Either Fork or others. I will need them for my set of brackets that are inbound.

 

Stoked on these racks!! painted hammer black, installed perfect with great hardware that was included, surf/snow pads added (cause I'm too dang cheap to buy Yakima racks), hella 550 lights that I had laying around as temporary bed lights for loading/unloading shit in the early morning or late evenings. Helps a lot for tying flies when river side at 5am! Thanks again KBV!

 

Got my bed brackets this weekend, THANK YOU. They are nice.

Hmmm, thinking these will get LINEX along with the entire bed and tail gate. Picts to follow. Fit great under my Tonneau (Extang Trifecta-Signature Series)

Thank you again.

 

Anybody have any new pic's of the brackets in use?

 

Just got mine installed yesterday. Super stable and look great

 

How much weight did you have on this thing? All the weight limitation discussions have me wondering if they'll hold up on long trips with a full cargo carrier (give-or-take 50 lbs).

 

I can snap a few for you today. I'm using them with my bed shell

 

Looks great. Love the functionality and look of the bed baskets

 

I havent tried to much weight yet, but I wouldnt put more than 100 pounds in on them

 

I have a set of RAW AL bed brackets from KB Voodoo that I will not be using. I was hoping to mount my cargo box but it ends up being a little bouncy. Will ship with all hardware included for $85. Only mocked up. Never used. PM or email for details.

 

The aluminum versions ended up being not quite as stiff as the steel version, despite the increased material thickness.

 

Yep. Noticed that with mine too.

 

I'm happy to be making steel brackets again. Finding a new powder coat guy was the key.

 

Has anybody tried to transport kayaks on these rails. I'm just curious if you can get them far enough back in the bed to balance and haul 10-12 foot kayaks. I have a 6 foot bed for what it's worth, which means that the yaks would have to stick out at least 4 feet beyond the back of the bed and I'm not sure I like that idea even if it would physically work. That said, I really like the rails and think I'll get a set anyway for other transport and storage uses.

 

It might depend on the weight of the kayak.

 

I think each of my kayaks is under 60 pounds and I'd think the rails would hold them OK but the bigger concern (I think) is that they'd extend too far off the back of the truck and the balance/center point would be too far back in the bed (I have a 10 foot and a 12 foot kayak and the 6' bed).
