    I didn't like the four clamps that Magnum provided to hold down the rack on the side of the bed. By doing their way, I couldn't put the tonneau cover on my truck. I finally modified their rack and mounted right on top of the bed. It's a lot sturdy and preventing from thefts :)

    I was just looking at that same rack today. The issue I have with most if not all of the headache racks is that I have the OEM tonneau cover which sits on to of the bed sides instead of between. Some of the adapters end up raising the rack about 3 inches above the roof line which I dont like.

    Can you post more pictures on the mods you had to do to install it?

    What is the width of the OEM cover. I measure the opening of the rack is 58-1/2" from side to side. See if your cover will fit into this opening.

    The OEM cover wont fit. pretty much completely cover the bed sides. I don't like the adapter but is the only option that works unless I change to a different tonneau. Thanks!

    Post your OEM cover on OfferUp or Craigslist and sell it. Buy the one that fit between the rails. I bought my tonneau cover on Craigslist, good lucks :)

    Can you tell me what model Magnum headache rack you have? I’m looking for one for my 1st gen Tacoma and haven’t found a Magnum model that’ll fit. Yours looks great.
