Bed Cross Bars for Over-the-Rail Tonneau Cover (Hard Tri-Fold)

[Xinnes88X]

Can anyone suggest a company with cross bars for my bed on my Ranger with a hard tri-fold over-the-rail tonneau cover installed? I am having a difficult time finding such a product. Thank you much!

I've been having the same dilemma. I am contemplating a switch in covers to expand rack options.

I have actually considered drilling holes into my tonneau cover and attaching a cargo basket in that fashion (with you bolts). I know that would void my warranty....but you could remove the cargo basket and leave the u-bolts or a rubber plug in the holes to avoid water (rain) from getting into the bed.

It depends on the cover. If you have a tonneau that doesn't sit on top of the bedrails, the below kit will work. If you have one that sits on top of the bedrails, this may or may not work depending on cover. The rails are the most important piece and the only items I've found like it. The feet were also a difficult find, but I really could only confirm that the Rhino ones had the necessary T-slots for rail compatibility. Crossbars are your choice.

EDIT: If you decide to buy from @Stage3Motorsports, shoot them a PM on here to see if they can get you a better price as a site sponsor.

EDIT 2: I missed the hard tri-fold part. This setup is doable with a tri-fold but it might get annoying. This is better with a roll up. If you're OK with the drawbacks, it'll work. If not, you might need a full rack. There are threads on here about full racks over tonneaus - try a search.

Total: $613.53

Awesome links. If someone is looking for full uprights instead of feet, the Elevate rack should work with that T-rail
