    You don't have to have tracks on your cap already for these to be usable. I have had a couple people use them without a cap. They just marked out the location they wanted them in and drilled their own holes to mount them. I could see that if you mounted these in your cap and then wanted to add the Thule or Yakima tracks down the road, you would most likely have to make a couple new holes.

    What's nice about these is that they should work with any bed size cap. The mounting slots are located based off of the Yakima and Thule tracks because they are pretty universal, either a 42", 54" or 60" length. It's not specific to truck make/model. I did think about making these in different sizes but found that at 52" long it really works quite well for all.

    Does that answer your questions?

    We are 1 person away from hitting 10!

    I'm thinking I will close this on Wednesday 11/18 at 1200. That give a few more days to hit 10 and maybe a couple more people. For those of you that are already "IN" please send me your email address and shipping info.

    Thanks everyone!

    Eric

    If you have yet to message me your email address and shipping info, please send that over. I will be emailing invoices this evening. I'll update the 1st post as payments are received. Once everyone is payed and the batch heads to the laser I'll update again. Should only be a week or two before everything is ready to ship.

    Thanks everyone for getting in on this. Looking forward to getting your feedback and seeing some pics!

    Eric

    Should work out well. You can check the dimensions on the drawing in the first post. I have had another person use them in the cap on his Tundra with no issues. It seems the bolt spacing is common through the different size tracks from Thule and Yak.

    Alright! I hope you have all had a great Christmas and New Year. It was certainly a bit busy around here so thanks for your patience! You should all have received notifications with tracking info. Let me know if you didn't get it. These are all out the door with tomorrows UPS pickup and most of you should see them before the end of the week.

    Please let me know what you think. Post pics. The hardware is wrapped up in the package and stickers in with the shipping label/packing slip.

    Here is a quick pic while I was packing them.
