Bed rack that is not a ripoff?

I was behind a guy from Maine that crafted his own on his ram out of 2xs, plywood, screws, and ratchet straps. You could always take that approach, or not because it looked like a terrible idea lol.

 

I’ve got this, and I’ve used it for hauling 15’ kayaks no problem. Also perfect for large piece of lumber, sized perfectly for plywood/Sheetrock. Can be adapted to load stuff up high, if you wanted to put roof rail on there you could strap whatever long stuff to that and still use the bed to haul things.

Here’s my truck with kayaks:


Here is random pic off the internet showing alternative method of using it:



This thing has been super handy to have. I would recommend it to anyone looking to haul oversized things in their bed.
