I’ll upload pics later but wanted to share this with the group.
I just finished the install of Rhinorack Pioneer platform to create a custom bed rack.
Vehicle:
2020 Rebel with Rambox and the OEM bed utility track system.
The Rhinorack:
“In bed” rack using a Pioneer tray (52x56), RLT600 legs, and Pioneer height spacers.
First, the legs fit great onto to the top of the trucks OEM utility track. It did require grinding the width of track nuts down by 1/16” to fit into the utility track, which was easy enough, and you can find smaller track nuts if needed.
Second, the Pioneer tray at 56” is a bit wider than I wanted as it does interfere slightly with the full opening of the Rambox, but they open plenty enough to access them. A more narrow tray option of 52” wide would be ideal.
Lastly, a Pioneer height spacer of 10mm is needed (edit: go for the 25mm spacers QMHD25. RamBox will open better). I used the 5mm height spacer and it was difficult to get the leg covers back on due to the tight space between the bottom of the Pioneer tray and top of the Rambox. But I was able to get it on with a bit of muscle work.
So a more narrow platform and larger height spacer would allow the Rambox to open fully or near fully.
Anyway, I now have a useable and good looking bed rack platform for my tent and other stuff. Will post more pics later.
