    I have an Avid Off Road bed rack for my shovels and hi-lift and I have two Pelican cases under it in the bed to hold tools and camping bits and pieces. I am planning on getting a Bed Slide so that I don't have to reach for the boxes. I also have 2 rotopax's mounted to the bed as well.

    If I had a topper that would work for me. Need something that's weather proof though.

    Tonneau cover with rubber grommets? :D

    they also sell bed-side toolboxes that you could probably use, maybe even look for low profile ones that would fit over the wheel well

    you could cut the holes for where your bedrack would come through, though if you want the space between the bed and top of rack open it would not work.

    I think your only option is some sort of tool box. Like one of those pelican cases. Other than that, you're pretty limited with what You can do and still be weatherproof. Unless you build some bed drawers out of aluminum or something. Or... Do you need your back seats?:devil:
