    I have an 18 TRD OR SB that came with a stock tonneau cover - been trying to find a bar system (level with cab height or a bit higher) that can be installed and still allow for tonneau use. Does anyone know of anything that exists that is compatible?

    There's another Voodoo rack that is taller that still works with Tonneau look on the website linked above.. The other 1 is as tall as the cab and adjustable height as well.

    Yep, they can go as low as 16", or they can all the way to the top floor. The rack can be ordered up to 26" high.

    They are 1" high x 3" wide. Most anything from Yakima should clamp to them.

    thanks -

    the max crossbar spread for my yakima rocketbox is 40" & my load warrior is 44" ... 2 items i use frequency and am looking to use with this product (still enabling me to use my tonneau).

    how imperative is the side panel unit that screws into both racks?

    The side panel is vital.

    I wonder if the load warrior or the yakima could be altered to spread out to 46"??

    got it - they can not... this is the max adjustable distance for their clips (that properly attaches onto bars) reach. i have other items that do not exceed 40" as well (mountain bike racks).
