Firstly, sorry if this specific topic has been covered elsewhere but I have not been able to find discussions regarding my exact scenario.
I have the Bakflip MX4 tri-folding hard cover on my ranger bed and am interested in options for adding some type of bed rack or even simply bed rail mounts that could be used to secure payloads on top of my bed cover (I think it is rated at 300lbs). My immediate requirement is to come up with a way to mount kayaks on top of my bed cover so that they hang off the back of the truck and also extend over or rest on a hitch mounted dirt bike.
Longer term I could see a low profile rack system (that is removable) that I could mount a basket or even roof top tent to being awesome but this may require significant modification to my rails and bed cover. I wish I had known I would need these things when I made the bed cover purchase a year ago and I would have just bought a rack integrated bed cover.
Here's my bed cover:
Here's what I mean by hitch mounted dirt bike:
So I guess what im asking is for is if anyone has any ideas on making a homemade version of this (or something that achieves the same result with kayaks):
