    Everything, except the ones I haven't done yet ;)
    Currently running a Max Modular Bedrack and planning to go LT all around within the next year. Prelander build? haha

    Has anyone been successful running fiberglass bedsides with a bedrack?

    People have done it, however it will require some reinforcement of the upper, flat part of the bedsides. The fiberglass will not support the weight of your rack and what I presume to be your RTT; it will crack and break. This is something I'm also looking into as my truck is getting the LT treatment right now. I'd like to be able to occasionally have my tent on my bed.
