Tonneau Brackets for BakFlip Covers with Relocated Accessory Rails

I have the 46" short rack mid height. I wanted the option to have the cover open and or closed so I choose the mounting points further back to clear the folded up cover.

The bed tracks are too far forward and needed to be moved back toward the tailgate 2 7/8".

I removed each bed track using a Torx30 and drilled (3) 1/4" holes 2 7/8" forward of each existing hole.

I remounted the bed track which is now moved back.

Separate the BakFlip bed rail using the Torx30 leaving the mounting point closest to the bulkhead attached. Wiggle the the bracket in place. Its a pain in the ass.

Measure 46" and install other bracket.

Cover locks in and closes without issue.

I left the cover open for ease of install. Also had to make slight adjustments to the rear brackets to fit the side mounts. Pain in the ass because you have to almost uninstall the BakFlip bed rails to loosen the brackets.

Bolt to bed tracks.

I uninstalled each corner from the brackets and closed the cover. Everything is lined up and bed rack ready for complete assembly.

Done son. When you need the bed unbolt each corner and with a help of a friend remove the rack. Now you have your bed.

One suggestion I would make for any new customers: Assemble the entire rack upside down on a flat surface, then flip the whole thing over and put it on the truck.

I did that initially but didn’t have help. Also if the 4 mounting points aren’t exact you have to take the whole thing off again, disassemble the bed rails to free up the brackets to make adjustments. At least with it in several pieces it’s easier to maneuver solo. If you have a helper then assemble it whole and install.

I've done it that way too when no one was around. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do to get shit done.

I normally drag the old lady off the couch by the hair, I don't care what episode of Chopped or Dr Pol is on.

But it's not possible to open the cover with the rack installed... right?

You said you purchased the mid height. I"m assuming that's the 14" version for the short bed unless you purchased the 10" Max Modular Taco (since there are no 14" options). Also did you get the Max Modular Taco, Steel, or Aluminum version? Thanks for the pictures and info/install information!

He has the 10" TACO Max, 46" long.

Now, back to my Bob Seger videos on YouTube.

The rack, or Bob Seger?

Ill be at the Zac Brown, Doobie Brothers and Eagles concert tonight

@KB Voodoo Will this solution work with the BAK Revolver X2/X4? It's the "rolling" kind of cover, not the folding/flipping kind. It would be nice to be able to roll the cover up with the bed rack on but I also wouldn't mind rolling the cover-up or leaving it rolled down when using a bed rack. Extra points if you have pictures. TIA!

Yes, it will work, but I’m not sure if your cover will roll up past the legs of the rack.

Rear visibility doesn't look bad, even with the 10" rack. Of course, the tonneau brackets don't hurt.
