Sure, two questions which I should be able to research myself (but will ask you since you offered):
1) Will ADARAC work with a Peragon? (Peragon does work with the TracRac SR.)
2) How long does it take to uninstall/reinstall the Adarac system once it has been set up the first time? I ask this because I don't want to keep the rack on all the time, just when needed. On my old truck I had a rack system and it impacted gas mileage and added wind noise at highway speeds.
Thanks!

2. Not very long at all. You can remove the uprights and crossbars in a few minutes just by loosening the bolts and removing the rack.

So I think I am going to go with the Extang Solid Fold 2.0. Here is why:
I know it cannot be used with the racks that I have. However, it is very easily removable and it doesn't have any rails to mess with the installation of the rack. I can easily take it out or just fold it to the front and install the Yakima racks.
The ADARAC, while I am sure it is a nice product, is a little more than I need. I need to take the canoe a few times during the summer, and don't need a rack besides those times. not to mention I don't want to cut into the front stake pocket of the truck.
Before I purchase, have you guys seen any other tonneau covers that don't use rails?
Thanks!

Thanks for considering our rack.

Now I just need to figure out in-bed storage. My original plan was to forego the tonneau and get a weatherguard saddle toolbox. Then when I decided that I would want a tonneau, i was thinking a chest might be better. Looking at the Extang Solid, it looks difficult to access a chest while having the tonneau on, even if folded up. Extang doesn't make a toolbox version for the 5.5 bed. I thought about the wheel well swing out boxes, but they look pretty flimsy and I am not sure that they would work with the latching system of the extang.
Everything is a compromise and hopefully I can find the right combination for what I am looking for.

well, i need a tonneau anyway. At the moment, this seems like the best way for me to go. It also comes with the BAK box for storage... but I think i still may want to get a weather guard chest instead so I can be sure everything is secure.

I'm thinking about getting the Adarac racks. But I also want a low rack setup. Can you please share what you did for this? Also, what do you mean about the pockets needing to be cut?
Thanks!
