This big box just arrived:

What's inside you ask? Just some very well packaged goodies...

...from John at Xpedition Ready Designs.

After fighting with the zipper that connects the BedRug pieces, I was finally able to get to the bed bolts and move on with the installation. It's amazing how much dust and dirt gets between the BedRug and the bed!

An hour later, the Raptor was outfitted with a new bed rack.

I'm still waiting on XRD to send me the HiLift mounts and their newly redesigned spare tire mount. I'll post updates once those arrive and get installed.

Props to John for a very nicely designed system that should help keep my truck gear better organized.
:head3:


Is there by any chance you could take pictures of how this mounts to the front and sides of the bed please.

I saw this on Orange Addict's truck and was very interested in asking more about it but never followed up. Can the tire be pushed further forward or to the rear to open enough floor space for a cooler or pelican case? It seems like it's centered over the axle, which is great except for long trips where you'd want a decent sized cooler.

I'm curious about pricing also. Is there are website or somewhere we can check?


Exactly what OA mentioned. I actually do not ship the racks with holes predrilled anymore. Leave that up to the end user for them to customize it as they wish.

Send me a PM with your primary email and I'll send you a quote :p

I want to see pics of the new tire mounter.

SOOOON... Hopefully it'll be completed in 2 weeks :p Actually have pre paid on it so it's time to put up or shut up!

I might be willing to trade you a slightly used one for a new one. :)

Any update?
Did you get the bed side supports as well?

Still waiting on the new spare tire mount and the hi-lift mounts. John indicated the spare mount would be finalized this week.

If you were meaning the bed spread supports, no, I didn't get them. I use the bed extender quite often and didn't want to lose the functionality. I'll look at the new design that recently came out that mounts underneath.

Any tips or complaints so far? I also have a bedrug, bed extender and bakflip that I don't want to give up. I use a Pelican 340 as my gear holder and will eventualy get a big cooler and a couple of Scepter cans.
