SCHMEGGA'S '08 Black & Silver Build

Yeah, that'd be great. Do they slide or adjust easily in the bed rails?
(working on the research)

PM sent.

 

"Easily" I guess is a relative term. I wouldn't say they just slide up and down the bedrails like butter. Because of the physics of it, a long bar attached at 2 sides that would need to stay perfectly perpendicular to slide "easily," I would say that it is better termed "without much hassle." LOL. I move mine up and down all the time. It's just hard to keep them perfectly perpendicular when sliding because of the length and the weight. Easier to just move one side a fraction and then the other. I keep the correct sized socket on a wrench in my truck ready to go. That is what made it much easier. I will say this though, "I would not do without them now that I have had them. I use them for tons of stuff. They are awesome for securing stuff in the bed. Especially when combined with the 4 tiedown points that come with the truck, of which I bought 4 more on eBay for about $35 and was well worth it. Hope this all helps make your decision easier.

 

I know it's been months since the last post or OP has been on but, Anyone know what backspace/offset his wheels are?

 

I cannot remember what the offset is on my wheels. However, as soon as I get a chance I will see if I can find out for u!

 

Just came across your setup. I love the kayak mounts. I'm thinking of doing a similar setup with a 9.5' kayak but I'm a little unsure if it's going to work with a kayak that's longer than yours. You have the perfect dimensions for it!

 

Nice setup! What's the name of your storage boxes and how do you like em? I'm looking to get some rugged storage for my camping setup.

 

Did you get a chance to see what the offset/backspace of these wheels are?
