Its nice no doubt. Just got back from the Smokies so I'm a bit behind these threads. I modified my retrax cover rails. Ended up just drilling 2 holes for each bracket. Came out ok but not an easy task.
Oh, I’m glad you got everything to fit together! You mind sharing a picture of the finished product? Hats off to you for making that rack work
Looks like it works great! I couldn’t see much in terms of the interface between rack rail and the tonneau rail in the pictures, but I think the modifications involved were notching the rails and removing some material to give the bed rack mounts the flat surface area they need, is that right?
Correct. Retrax slotted rail notched about 10.5”
Ahh that makes sense. Do you think the notching increased any potential for water penetration, or is there still plenty of tonneau rail/bed rail interfacing inboard of the rack mounts to retain a good seal?
Water gets in. I haven't had a chance to put a line of black silicon in yet, plus fill the cavity for lack of a better word... I did put weather stripping inside though. Always had a little water in the bed. None of the covers I had were perfect plus the pitch of my driveway doesn't help. No biggy.
I will be doing a full write-up on how the Xtrusion Overland stuff works out for me. I'm pretty excited to get it on my truck with my rip-off roll and lock cover. And I've got a RTT sitting waiting for it!
You can get cross member kits for it.
It become pricy
There are others on the market that utilize the slots. The track slots can take 1/4" square nuts or similar...It become pricy
