Thanks for the part #s and tips for how you built this setup from Rhino Rack. I've been debating between Rhino and Frontrunner who has a similar kit/setup for the 6'4" bed (with rambox) and will tweak the parts for the 5'7" bed.
Frontrunner link. Wondering if you've had any issues at all with the silver BUG/bed utility rails under load? Has anyone had issues loading these rails? As it was noted in the chain/on the forum, the manual specs that the tie down cleats are rated for 250lbs each...since they put 2 cleats on each rail and 2 rains in the truck, you'd think that means 1,000 lbs evenly distributed. I also called the dealer and they said the silver rail has a part # rating for just 500 PER PAIR which is significantly less (1/2...I can do math). I don't plan to test the limits of 1,000lbs but it's easy to run above 500lbs static with a 150lb tent and 2-3 people. I'm not a hardcore overlander so an easy install/easy remove platform or bar system on the rails is perfect for me (vs something like the Nuthouse roof racks). Anyone who's got experience or insight re: the load capacity of the bed rails I'd love to hear it. Thanks!
