Looks good man sorry I just saw the previous post. They've been evasive that's for sure, the gears are turning over there but communication has been one way lately. Glad to see you got yourself an alternative and its a nice one! I dig the low profile but I would want at least a little siding for my own taste. How much did you get it for all said and done?

MillerPKA,

I have the full rail as well, but my garage right now will not allow me in with it on. I like the low profile and the unique tiedown rings make sucuring anything a breeze. I have thought of several possible things to use the tiedowns for. $850 is the price for rack and rail. It seems to be very good product. I think Slee may have one or two more. Great deal and great customer service.

Looks good Tex! Does anyone have any pictures of how items are actually secured to these "non-basket" types of racks?

CYi5,

the rack is attached to a rail that is mounted to the truck using the current rack mounting holes. The legs of that mount to the rail. Here is a pic of the rail.

Ah, i meant more of the gear you're putting up there. You just use straps for everything? Or a net of sorts?

Sorry that went right over my head. If you look at the picture close you will see an outer groove and smaller grooves on the interior rails. Eylets can be slid into any place you need it. Then you strap to those.
