Those are nice covers @SnowBlaZR2. Is it something that you would not plan on taking off easily if you needed to haul something larger/taller now that you have it installed?

I guess it would depend on the length of the bike. I believe the cover box is about 8 yo 9 inches of space the would subtract ftom the bed length
I looked at some more pics and I dont think you would be able to easily. It looks like the that 8-9 inches would push things back too far to get a medium/normal sized wheel to touch the front of the bed for tying down.

the canister takes a good 12 " of bed space or a little more. It is not difficult but not the easiest to remove.
wondering if a roll up kind would be best on your situation. like the bak revolver. probably best fit for the dirt bike and doesn't block the rear window.
That is kind what I am thinking. I would like to also be able to mount a bed rack that can go above the cab if needed. I believe since the Bak Revolver fits between the rails it works with some racks. It also looks like a fairly secure cover.

Thank you!

Would depend what it was. If I couldn't strap it down on top of the Diamondback, next would be to remove a panel. Those take probably under 5 minutes to remove both the cab and tailgate panels.

If that wouldn't do it, I think I could probably get the entire cover off in under 10 minutes. Probably another 15-20 minutes to reinstall.

We're about to be on the road full time, though, so I'll very rarely be hauling anything I didn't plan for before leaving.

Using the Risk Racing Lock-N-Load tie down system, you can get a dirt bike in a 5' 7" bed with the Mopar tonneau cover. This is my buddy's Limited.

I'll 2nd SnowBlaZR2 on the DiamondBack cover removal. If you have marks where the center panel lines up on the bed rails the re-install goes fairly quick. I keep the appropriate sized ratchet box wrench in my arsenal of hand tools I carry with the Ram to remove the 4 bolts holding the center cover. I transported a stove for a friend with only the back cover removed, but the piano required a complete removal.

Sometimes having a Ram and a strong back can be a detriment.

Installed the Lund Bed Extender (purchased at local Canadian Tire) .

Bit of a pain since the mounting bracket template was not included in the box, but nothing a couple MGDs couldn't sort out.

Also switched out the highbeams to Silverstar Ultras and the low beams to Silverstar ZXEs

Check out these rails https://truxedo.com/elevate-ts-rails/2022/ram/1500

It looks like they can be mounted along with the Revolver to add any T slot racks

i got this one as well, looks great and it has survived about 8 or so wash tunnels and has only once "started to come out" but the collar kept it in-place. and i always walk around the truck and towel stuff off after a wash so its something i look at as i have lost a couple of these plugs in washes in the past. i like it.

They also sell a version that has rack mounts and the racks

Installed the hellwig rear sway bar. Started to go middle hole like most. Then just went ahead went full stiff. Had to drive like a *** to test it out, but can definitely notice the improvement.

Soooo, you’re saying all the guys who love this bar drive like they’re Ricky Bobby?
