    Looking to put a Thule bike rack system that spans the bed of my 2017. Have factory bed cover. Any ideas or starting places. Seen them on trucks and they look good but no clue where to start.

    Anyone have any clever ideas as to how to mount a Yakima (or any brand) bike mount to a bed rack setup with 1.5" round rollbar style tubes? I don't want to drill into them, so I'm hoping someone's had luck with a rollbar clamp + bike rack.

    Here's the rack I'm working with:

    I may have tweaked a few things...
    How about using mounts along the track to hold the front forks and let the rear wheel fall somewhere on the rack? Could be hard to arrange if you have multiple bikes each with different wheelspans. At least your rack doesn’t look so high it would put the handlebars into your rear window.

    I have Rockymounts Driveshaft Track mounts and I was thinking of good ways to raise the back wheels so I can still stow gear/paddleboard under the bikes. I might get a some bed bars for that.
