Ordered the new model of this URTC from voodoo. Looks great and functions as stated with a MX4 Tri-Fold Tonneau Cover - can fully flip up the tonneau cover and clear the rack. However, one of the problems I've read about is still present (powdercoat peeling off after a month of minimal use, without mounting or hauling any loads, eventually forming tons of rust all over the rack etc.) Additionally, the rack is definitely not rated *as-is* for any dynamic use, let alone 300 lbs or a RTT. All the screws and connections that hold this rack together came loose within two months of mere road driving and required continual tightening. When taken lightly offroad, the rack damn near came apart. I think this design is close to being completed, but I would definitely wait until it is back up with the next version and peer reviews confirm these issues are addressed. The URTC is no longer available on the website, which might be a sign that I got an experimental run of this, so perhaps the next version is being re-designed. If that is the case, you will definitely want to wait until this one is straightened out before you shell out ~$1500. For reference, the URTC rack with two top bars and two side bars (4 total) was used in my system. Overall, pretty disappointed in this not-so-cheap rack system, especially given the recent reviews of Voodoo's other racks. I had read mixed reviews about their customer service, but the reviews stating their disappointment are starting to hold more water as the response I was given from Voodoo was "powdercoating is not armor and go buy some loctite and semi-gloss paint".
