Backflip Mx4 and TRUXEDO ELEVATE TS RAILS

[DonkeyMcdonkerton]

If anyone is interested, I had the Truxedo rails installed with my Bakflip Mx4 (https://truxedo.com/elevate-ts-rails) so that I had a rail system on the bed. I then installed some rhino vortex aero crossbars, along with some 1up USA bike racks (4 total). I drove to the beach last night, and the bikes were super secure, even the juicedbike. Loving it

Looks nice. Those over-the-bed bike racks are the way to go. Just watch for the awnings at the fast food drive thru. How do you manage the flip up cover with the cross bars on there? Will the back 1/3 at least flip up?

Why this over a tailgate pad? Just curious @7six2

I can lift it a little, but it won’t flip back.

I like to keep the gear covered.

We got some use out of it today.

Tailgate pads are super easy and convenient (and affordable) but with the bikes positioned overhead the bed is still open for camping gear. Plus even the softest pad will still rub the paint on your bike frame.

Why not stick with the velocirax?
