    Hey guys just bought an 08 DCSB TRD sport. I have a pack rack and roof top tent on my 02 which is currently for sale. I want to go on a camping/ fishing trip this weekend and I want to take the new truck and the RTT. I have a soft tonneau cover on the bed and I was curious if anyone has built a rack that sits about 6" off the bed that allows you to used your soft tonneau cover and mount your RTT? I was thinking about getting creative with some 4x4's and the factory bed rails as just a temporary setup.

    If anyone has pictures of their set up please post them.. thanks guys.

    theres definitely a few options, check out relentless FAB, they make these sets of 2 or 3 bars that go across your bed, with either standard or extended height, and its pretty cheap! CBI also makes a rack, and so does all pro!
