Looks sweet! Happy with it?I’ve got the Yakima Overhaul, not had a chance to put the kayaks on yet though.
Love the look of it, haven’t used it as a rack yet. Got the side rails last week so that I can mount my rotopax fuel/water cans & maybe eventually some maxtrax. Might get the rails on at the weekend.Looks sweet! Happy with it?

Looks great! I want to do something similar. What size cross bars are those? 68 or 78 inches?I’ve got the Yakima Overhaul, not had a chance to put the kayaks on yet though.
Damn, wish you were in Austin, TX. I am looking for a Retrax pro with the T-slots...basically what you got.If anyone is interested, I’ve got an Overhaul HD, pair of 68” HD crossbars, and the side rails I intend to list for sale. I’ve got a mounting kit for Retrax XR or Pace Edwards Ultragrove tonneau covers, as well as the original mounting hardware to mount it to a uncovered bed.
As far as I know, there’s no way to use the Overhaul HD with a Rambox.
I’m in the Atlanta, Georgia area.
In the picture, the rack is at its lowest height, but it is adjustable to several inches above the cab, good for carrying long items like canoes or kayaks.
It’s a great cover, and I’ll get a new one for the longer bed. I’ve attached the Yakima and Front Runner racks, and bike fork holders from Rocky amounts. I’ve gotten a lot more use out of the slots than I expected.Damn, wish you were in Austin, TX. I am looking for a Retrax pro with the T-slots...basically what you got.
I have mountain bikes and Thule luggage rack I use regularly and would love to be able to mount them on my truck. I do a lot of road trips and plan to continue them with my new Ram. Ideally I want something installed by June because we are going to be living in Butte, Montana for the summer. Lots to do outdoors there.It’s a great cover, and I’ll get a new one for the longer bed.

Did you have any concern with the stability of the posts clamped to the bed? I installed my Yakima Outpost HD rack last night on my '21 Laramie and it seems like there's a lot of flex before connecting the top crossbar.Long time since I last posted about this - got the side rails & rotopax fuel cans mounted a while ago & a few weeks ago I added some auxiliary lighting to the racks - see signature for details.View attachment 89618
Had the rack installed for a while & it’s solid. Used it to haul lumber, been out on a long road trip, couple of runs out on desert trails & it never moved.Did you have any concern with the stability of the posts clamped to the bed?

Thanks! I tested mine out over the weekend and it seems solid with everything connected. Love your build!Had the rack installed for a while & it’s solid. Used it to haul lumber, been out on a long road trip, couple of runs out on desert trails & it never moved.
