    I thought the same thing when I looked at mine today, but I measured the legs and they are a few inches talled than my softopper. I doesn't look like it will fit, but they should.

    Mine came exactly like yours..less the accessory bars. I cut the loop bars myself to accept the couplers.

    Gotcha... misunderstood your post, i.e., looking for a quick fix!

    Thanks for the info!

    I just dropped the rack off at the welder. He quoted me 5/6hrs worth of work and that the rack 'will probably' have to be drilled into the bed rails. Can anyone who's gotten one of these setup shed a little light on the install process. Seems like a lot of work and its pushing me to get it powder coated asap to avoid messing with it, but I'll know more this afternoon when I pick it up.

    I don't know about 5-6 hours of weld work, but there are only less than 20 weld areas around the tubings to be fully welded. Once mocked up on the bed rails, I secured the parts together with a strap to hold everything together in place, tack them nice then full weld them on the ground.

    Without the extra mods I did, I would finish the complete rack in 1.5-2 hours max working alone.

    No drilling on the bed rails either since the rack comes with 4 tabs that slide along the rails that holds the actual rack.

    This is very helpful, thanks! Maybe it was just a quick estimate based on looking at the pieces on the ground.

    True. he should be able to adjust the time involved once he realizes how simple it goes together.

    Just got confirmation from All Pro about this issue. They WERE cut too short, bummer! But fear not, they're on it and going to fix the problem. I'm sure everyone who ordered the OTT will hear from them shortly.

    X 2.

    Have been chatting with @Rotorhead about his... mine is longer than his but still seems short. Will wait until midday tomorrow to hear, then call them if not.

    BTW! What is the fix? Extensions or new hoops?

    I put mine over my topper to test fit them today and they fit, but just barely. I wouldn't be able to get the topper back in or mount anything on it without hitting the topper.

    Damn... not good. I haven't read what the 'plan' is for remedying this... the pics in post 1&2 definitely show a safe gap, and considering that the softtopper flexes in the wind, barely fitting probably means rubbing.

    My thought is 'barely' isn't good enough.
