This is awesome Ser! Any pictures of how it mounts and the compatibility with the bed cover? I had opted to try out the Adarac M series system and its too flimsy for my taste, especially for supporting a hardtop tent. Looking into other options, and possibly changing the entire bed cover; diamond back cover with mounts on it likely. Trying to keep the front of the roof top tent below the roof line.

So im running a retrax knock off sliding cover, the JCWIN one on Amazon. Yes its cheap and all but its surprisingly well built. No issues yet. It does tend to make some rattling noises when out on washboarded roads but im sure all hard covers that slide would. Xtrusion offers wider mount feet to clear the covers like mine. I chose the standard mount feet because i wanted it to look a certain way. If i had to do it again i would have probably opted for the wider foot. Problem i was having is the sides of the tonneau are basically a "too" perfect fit in between the mount feet. So much so that it required a little force and a tiny bit of grinding or sanding the edges of the cover on the front to install it. I got it to work but it required extra thinking and work to get it in. So yeah go with his wider tonneau mount feet and you could pretty much run any height rack you want. And they are customizable. Just shoot Alan a message and hell get you situated. If you look at his IG or FB page i believe he now has options for the retrax mx style covers. Hope this helps.

I'm running the RCI 18" adjustable rack. I have the Smittybilt XL tent along with 2 water Rotopacks and a fuel rotopack mounted on the bed rack. It has been over a few Colorado passes with no issues...ophir and Imogene passes to name a couple. I highly reccommend the RCI...especially for the price. They state a 750lb static limit.
