Hybrid Soft topper/ Bedrack

We figured out pretty quick that it pooled between bars, but even with a 1.5" puddle, there was zero sepage. friend of a friend works at a plastic place, so we got some puckboard(not sure of tech name...stuff used on hockey boards) for cheap and slid that on top of bars, under canvas. problem solved...never looked back. it is a learning curve, but we have it semi permanent so we can whip the cover off and take it to upholstry shop for changes/add-ons. so some things in pics might look half assed, but they were only for trial and error purposes.

 

i guess this "buckboard" stuff does basically what i was thinkin with the rubber washers?

 

kinda....holes are same size as eyeletes. more just there for support. pics on the way.

 

ok... fine.... i'll be patient

There!! Finally lol. Almost died climbing on top so no eyelet pics...deal with it

 

damn that looks good! not sure I like that it doesn't go full length but that's a personal preference thing right.. haha

 

Yeah not sure why all pro didnt go all the way back. Its actually easy for getting our downhill bikes in and out lol. Rtt going back on this weekend.

 

Do you want my Bedrack/canvas cover? Originally purchased from Eddie's first group buy.

 

Any way of reviving these pics? Thanks

 

So this is what I came up with. I ended up getting a bestop off mj on TW for 300. Then I spent alittle over 300 on some custom bed bars from bamf. Now I have the best of both worlds. I have a place to put my RTT and a covered bed. The Rack is drying now. I should have it and the RTT on later today or tomorrow.

 

Here is the end result

 

that setup is money right there looks great mademen! will a softopper work if i dont get a bestop?

 

I've seen that DefconBrix has wrapped his Allpro rack in repurposed military canvas. I've been planning on doing the same thing.
