Keep in mind, if you are using the Overland Hd with the Embark Ls/Retrax bed cover that your load capacity drops to 300 pounds on road and 180 pounds off road.
Think I have found something better...rack + cap + tent + roll cage = all in one package:like:

Well crap, just when I thought I was set. If they can bolt a kitchen sink to the top of that then I am sold!

Here are a few pics before the Ranger heads out on it's first long road trip. Embark LS cover, Yakima Overhaul HD, and Yakima Skybox 16 Carbonite. Time to add some more stickers to the Skybox!

How easy is it to remove and reinstall the Overhaul HD using the t-slots? Is it just as simple as releasing a tightener and slipping them off or is it more involved than that? I really like this rack but I would want to install it only in times of need.

It comes off easy. Four nuts hold the legs down and four bolts hold the cross bars. After we installed it the first time we put tiny white paint marks where the Skybox mounts so next time we know where to line everything up. We don't leave it permanently mounted and it comes off quick .

That's what I was hoping you would say. I just can't keep it on all of the time so knowing that it's easy to take off eases my mind. Thanks for your help!

Looking at a similar setup. Are you able to pull in to a standard 7 foot tall garage?

NICE RANGER!!! Stock Ranger in white.... Meh. Modded white Ranger like yours.... BAD ASS!!!

Thanks for the info you posted, it helps. I am looking to end up with a bed cover, rack system, and RTT that all work together and wasn't that interested in the retracting bed cover due to losing bed space.... but it might be one of my only few options and seeing yours now and how little space it takes up, it's not THAT bad.

Sorry for the late response but to answer your question, yes, we can pull into our garage. Without the Skybox attached of course.

Thanks for the kind words. I’m not sure if the Yakima rack would be a good fit for a RTT but there are a bunch of options out there.
