[QUOTE="MAMiller44, post: 1474931, member: 40761"] Hey all, So I'm trying to pull the trigger on a tonneau/rack (short) setup and am curious if there's a setup out there that anyone has had that will satisfy what I'm hoping for. I want a cover for everyday use in Florida, so something that can stay nice and dry during hurricane season. I don't want anything motorized. Theft is not a huge concern for me so it's not like I need a vault. I do intend to do some camping with the truck so I'd like a setup where I can put in a roof rack system as needed to throw a tent on. I wouldn't keep the rack on for everyday use so I'd be going with a quick release type system. I do like the lower rails as well that just hover right over the bed, not looking for a full blown overland setup with rails that are at roof level. Before the Retrax fanboys come in, I want to either be able to retain full bed use, or have an easily removable system. Don't get me wrong, I really like the Retrax Pro XR series! BUT the one thing I don't like about it is the lost bed space and the fact that it would be a smidge of a pain if I wanted to remove it for hauling anything where I wanted full use of the bed since the tracks and cover itself are all integral. That is literally the only thing holding me back from pulling the trigger and why I'm curious if anyone has another setup out there that would satisfy my needs. I've seen covers that can either pop out of the track easily so you can stow just the cover portion while leaving the tracks on, or ones like the backflip that can push up vertically against the rear window so you have the full extent of the bed space available when you need it. But has anyone setup one of these with a rack for a rooftop tent too? Please share, pics would be great too if you have them! =) [/QUOTE]
