Bed racks- low profile, easily removable, tonnneau friendly?
I have a bakflip on my 6.5', and I frequently toss mountain bike or kayak in the bed for shorter trips but want to be able to put gear under tonneau plus bike & kayak above for camping trips without going to a roof rack
Require easy on & off (could be daily) and compatible with bakflip (I realize can't full flip it but keep it mounted and enough to open/close tailgate). These are options I was thinking but want to see your guys Picture 1:is kind of the goal but has to deal with tonneau AND easy on/off Picture 2: Option- Backracks rear bar, drops in to bed stake holes I'd just run them front & rear, kayak could direct mount and bike I have a roof rack attachment Picture 3: Use bedrails and somehow quick release crossbars to them https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.f15...97a9f452fd.jpghttps://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.f15...9b806a2e3b.jpghttps://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.f15...c7f3c74b75.jpg |
I'm not sure what you can do about the Kayaks other than strapping them on top of the backflip somehow.
However, this member got creative with bike mounts on the side rails. I'm not sure how far the bakflip extends onto the side rails, but this might be an option?

The Bakflip CS System is a great option but is painful with bike transportation. You can also get the BackRack tonneau adapter kit that would allow for a rack system to mount at the front and a crossbar at the rear. Sort of like this link.

A member on here has something like this with crossbars and a bed cover. Obviously it would require the cross bars to be removed to operate the cover, but they fit beside his Bak cover on the bed rails. I wish I could find that thread... Edit, found one of the threads. https://www.f150forum.com/f2/what-to...-setup-390851/ |

I do like how it still leaves the stake holes for use or adding bullrings :thumbup: |

Not quite what you are going for, but it's a vantech rack with and bakflip MX4. The rails are mounted to an 6.5ft aluminum flat bar and then attached to bullring stake pocket mounts. The truck is unmodified in any way and all of it can be removed without damage to the truck.
