School me on overland racks w/ a Bed-Cover

[KingKoopa17]

Is there a vendor on here that sells the Frontrunner Slimline II separately? I've bought the Retrax One XR cover, now I'm looking to buy the rack and I'm thinking about going with the CVT Pioneer Series bachelor RTT. It's just the wife and I, so I think it'll be a good enough size. The iKamper was really enticing and I like the look, but just couldn't justify spending the extra 2k for a tent.

Yes, we are a Front Runner dealer. Feel free to send me a message.

Is there a reason why a bed top tent can't attach to 2 Yakima jetstream bars in an XR cover? I wan't to keep a tent as low as possible and the jetstream bars fit the bill for that. Dynamic weight is 165lbs or so, static should be around 600 ish? Or am I missing something?

I love my DiamondBack lid. My Se will hold 400# the HD will hold 1200#
you can figure many ways to attach whatever you want to it.
I’ve used a CargoGlide in my Raptors since 2010. They will stand up to anything, Rock Crawling or 100mph through the Desert. Disadvantage is the added weight but not killing my old-Azzzz trying to get stuff out of the bed is worth it to me. I just added a leaf to the rear.

You can attach any bars, Yakima, Thule, etc to the DiamondBack lid

Yeah that's great but I was asking about the Retrax XR with 2 jetstream yakima bars and mounting a RTT.
