    Hey Everyone,

    Does anyone know of any additional bed rack systems that work well with a Diamondback HD cover? I know of the following:

    -Frontrunner: hard pill to swallow at new price...$649 for two bars and $849 for three?! No thanks.

    -UptopOverland has a truss setup for the Diamondback for $1249 - $1499 depending on height...I'd willing to pay more for this over the front runner...I also sorta like that these seem to install with the cleat's screws

    Are there any more?

    Interested too. I was going to ask this question when I got my Diamondback. I've seen 2 other Rack Systems. Diamondback also has the Yakima system (starting at $1,250) and I've been also looking at the Chassis Unlimited Thorax Bed Rack System (starting at $900 for unpainted, add $200 for black texture powder coat. The Thorax also uses the bed cleats to secure it (Diamondback HD or drill your own holes and add the cleats).

    Anymore out there?

    Thanks for these, I really like the ones that rest on the cleats...seems that those versions would remain more watertight since nothing has to go under the weatherstrip? I really like the took of that Thorax setup.

    I personally run the Front Runner 3 bar setup on my diamondback and have had zero issues with it. I'm also running the SE which holds the weight of the RTT, me, my wife, and our two dogs without a problem. I don't think the HD is necessary unless you're planning on hauling a ton of weight on top frequently.

    Other than the Front Runner and Uptop Overland racks, there's a Yakima rack and a Chasis Unlimited Thorax rack that mount directly to the Diamondback. KB Voodoo or Billie Bars makes a set of crossbars that would work but you won't be able to open the panels with those installed since they mount to the bed rails.. why I ended up selling my KB Voodoo setup for the Front Runner bars.
