    Does anyone know which bed racks fit this cover? It seems like it's a good cover, with significant safety features and will allow significant access without taking the bed rack. Syneticusa seems to have a bed rack that will fit this cover, but it looks like the max static load is 600 lbs, which I don't think will be able to support a tent, people, dogs, and supplies.

    Does anyone know of another, more sturdy rack that would support this additional weight?

    They work with any cover that has built in tracks.

    The synetic tracks are a bit odd where the 3/16" thick cannister cover blocks the rails on the front 12" or so . Would they still be able to rest ontop of that?

    I've actually been noodling on the idea of whether I want to try to drastically alter the cover on mine in order to allow me to mount my overhaulhd towers closer to the cab.

    Would likely involve some cutting of the cover, longer track bolts and a shim plate for the rear towers.ane back 1/3 of the front.

    If the KBV doesn't work, try a Yakima rack.

    On a side note, I've been watching the Exoskltn or the kuat ibex with panel kit very closely and am thinking of ditching my synetic plus Yakima for one once they're available.

    The synetic covers primary shortfalls are that it blocks a fair portion of the bed even when fully open and the front 12" or so of the tracks are obstructed by the cover.

    That won't be a problem with the CXR racks. The way that our attachment brackets work completely eliminates that issue.
