    To be determined......
    After using search it seems to me we need one thread for discussion, questions, answers and reviews of bed racks.

    I have a 2015 DCLB. I need a rack that will do three things:

    1) Mount a Tepui Autana XL. I'm unclear on mounting it with annex on side or the back of truck. Opinions? How does this effect rack choice?

    2) Under the rack I need to mount an ARB fridge.

    3) I need to safely contain two 50 - 60 pound dogs. Possibly in the creates we use at home. I love my dogs but they are not allowed inside my truck.

    So my first questions are:

    What height is your bed rack?

    Do you have a tent mounted on it?

    Would you go with the same height again if you had it to do over?

    Pictures are always very helpful.

    thread probably would’ve had more replies if OP could spell “Giant”

    Sounds like you might like this set up. I mount my mt. Shasta on top in the summer and it's even with the bed of my truck. Idk about your tent I imagine there might he some over hand on the rear depends on how you set it up. And my softtopper keeps everything nice and dry it's awesome hope this helps.20171114_093348.jpg
