    Okay cool that's what I was wondering. Sorry I didn't bother reading the entire thread, just saw your pics and it looks AWESOME but did you custom make or buy? If you custom made it looks beautiful. If you bought what was the price range? I'm looking to either make or buy a system like this I'm jusy curious on the pricing.

    Received my mid-height rack yesterday. Installed it today with my 6 year old daughter. As someone noted before, do not over tighten the stock hardware, i broke one bolt.

    Installation was quick and painless. I built it on the truck instead of on the ground and moved to the truck.

    One change from the pictures, I had to turn around the bike mounts, to make sure the thru-axle would go through.

    I know it will increase the cost, but I would suggest that the rear bike mount be flipped so all that is visible is the screw head and not the nut from the rear.


    Love the rack - can't wait for the RTT to arrive to put on it!

    Hey chad, any chance of also making some sort of holder for fuel?
    I know it works with rotopax but maybe some sort of bracket to hold a regular jerry can from the side? Something where it wont stick out too much?

    I don't feel like spending the 100+ for a rotopax can when I already have 2 20L regular style cans.

    Would you be able to fit the bike under the bedrack if you put the seatpost all the way down?
    just wondering because i wanna get the rack and if i go camping and mountain biking bymyself ill be ok with the side mount just like u have it , but sometimes i take friends and idk if i can fit 3-4 bikes under that rack
    and i dont wanna get the tall version because i dont wanna hurt the MPG lol. already went through it when i had the tent on top of the truck and couldnt deal with the wind resistance and stopping at gas station very often
    thanks

    I doubt they will fit under the rack. Maybe laying them sideways..
