Been studying and looking at installing a rack or platform system. I like the bar setup for attaching a cargo box and a basket as needed as well as surf boards bike etc. However, I also like the idea of a platform. I have the Retrax XT Pro with the integrated rail system so I have some options. I don't do anything crazy overland exploring but I am planning on towing the truck behind our motorhome so have flexibility to carry whatever I need is necessary.

Any advice is greatly appreciated!

 

Here are some ideas...

I used the BoxLink cleats and some custom brackets.
