My sister's car tapped my front bumper the other day and cracked the plastic valence. Not trying to get insurance involved for something that I presumed would be an easy fix (especially against family). No big deal, I thought and ordered a new bumper cover online. Anyways, it showed up and I...

I got my rack from upTop Overland installed this weekend. They have a version for no bedcover and one designed for the Retrax XR bedcovers. I went with the mid-height, long bed, Retrax version. Here's a pic.

I just had my wheel wells Line-X sprayed yesterday and I couldn't be happier with the results. A little bit of running at the very top of the wheel arches, but no overspray and all the parts you can actually see look great. $225 at Steel City Line-X in Pittsburgh if anyone else in the area is...

I already posted a picture in the aftermarket wheel thread, but since this thread is specific to the 602s, here's mine. 17" and stick out from the fender about an inch I'd say. Perfect.

Yeah not sure what happened there. I tried to link the picture from my Instagram but failed.

Yakima's are really nice racks. The one holdup I'd have there is that their tonneau adaptor reduces the offroad load rating to 180 lbs. There are a couple of posters on the site who have used them with a RTT mounted and mentioned that it felt rock solid though, so take that with a grain of salt.

Ultimately it comes down to what fits your needs. For example, some people want to be able to walk under their RTT when deployed, which would only be possible for an average height person with a rack of 18" or more (on a stock height Raptor). For some people (like me) it's more important that...

I'm not saying that you're wrong, but the shortest one I see on RCI's website is 12". And that's before the additional 3" that their tonneau brackets adds.

The picture shows the full height rack which is 19" tall, but they also offer a mid height which is only 11.5" tall. That's what I plan on ordering.

Just an FYI, UpTop Overland just recently brought out a full size track rack that'll fit a Retrax XR. I was gonna order it last week but decided to wait until this weekend to see if they run a 4th of July sale...

Just to clarify the 17" VenomRex's are still on national backorder. I ordered mine in February and am still waiting, so I'd recommend going another option unless you're really patient. I'm currently waffling between waiting it out (I really love those wheels) or choosing another option.

I drilled holes in the plastic plugs at the front for my Retrax.

This is probably an extreme long shot but I figure it's worth a try. I ordered a set of 17" bronze Venomrex 602s back in February and was told they'd be on back order until early April. Well April has come and gone, and no one seems to have any concrete information as to when they'll be...

I added a Retraxpro XR bedcover last weekend and so far I'm pretty pleased with it. Next up is an overland bed rack. I think I prefer the functionality and looks of a rack rather than just crossbars but I also want something low to mid profile so I can pull my truck into the garage with an RTT...

I ordered mine yesterday and can't wait to get it. Looking forward to installing it this weekend.
