Removable ladder racks

I am looking at installing "weekender" ladder racks made by Weather guard. http://www.weatherguard.com/pdfs/24-0192.pdf they cost about $280.00. I currently have them on my Tundra. They should mount easily on the rear as there is steel support on the side and the bottom. Up front I have some concerns about mounting to the rail system or bolting through the bed. They are made to only carry up to 250 lbs. Not sure if there is a concern about a bottom puncture of the plastic bed (what a dumb idea). Has anyone else installed this type of rack?

 

Those would be fine, except I only use my racks once or twice a month. When not being used I Don't like the look of racks. I have a tool box and with the other system the front rack stays up. With this system I can remove both racks in less than a minute and store them under the tool box. I am mostly looking for any installation help.
Thanks

John

 

Johnnylaw, there's a guy on these forums who had a photo of weekender racks mounted on his truck, I saw it and now i'm back looking for it for my own rig. If i find it, i'll send you a msg.

I put the weekender on my truck. It works great. O blind mounted the front brace to the rails and the rear to the steel post. I though I posted pics many months ago of my install. Let me know if you have questions
