18.8" High Overland Bed Rack for Mid-Size Trucks Without Bed Rails - Compatible with Ford Ranger, GMC Canyon, Chevrolet Colorado, Nissan Frontier, Honda Ridgeline, Jeep Gladiator JT

Hooke Road if you want to sponsor me, contact me. I am about to hit the trails again under new YouTube channel called Stretching Out. This rack is just sexy, sturdy, and strong. Received within a few days of order. The packaging is perfect. They even taped the straps down so it wouldn’t hang up and break. Everything went together very well. I do not have the bed rails so I ordered the rack without bed rail option. The bed liner on the gladiator bed underneath the lip has tabs that get in the way. Put first rack rail at 6.5” coming from cab, second at 22-1/2” and 3rd at 38-1/2” and your set. Get you a couple of 6mm hex bit sockets with a ratchet for the install. I got my bulletpoint mounts for GoPro and phone, got the uniden cb with Stryker SR-A10mm antennae. Let’s get outdoors!Only issue was in shipment there was powder coat knocked off and a bent top rail. I touched it up with rhino liner, same texture, then straightened up the rail with adjustable wrench. Problems solved.

Much heavier gauge steel than I expected. Not too hard to put in. Installed by myself. Built it in my living room due to the heat and only broke one tv carrying it out. So I would call that a success

A couple of pieces came bent but were easily straightened with a rubber mallet. Instructions were vague but with the Amazon images you could fill in the blanks. Overall it’s a sturdy rack, exceeded my expectations for the price point. Just be careful with hardware as they do not provide any extras. You literally use up everything they send you. So do not lose any of them.It was a heavy box so I imagine it was dropped a few times before it got to me but like I said it was nothing a little tap couldn’t fix.The height is just under the cab height which may cause an issue if you’re gonna put a RTT on it so just be mindful of that.It’s exactly what I wanted/needed at the moment and the price was just right. The money I saved on the rack will be used for accessories.

I bought this for my 21’ Ridgeline. A month ago I asked if it needs any particular hardware to fit the Ridgeline, the answer was it is direct fit. (Read the question section) So I bought it. Of course it doesn’t fit. There is no direct mounting to a Ridgeline because of the rails. I got in touch with Hooke road asking about the issue and they sent me the same useless sheet that came with the rack. The Ridgeline rails aren't just covers, they keep water from getting between the fender and bed.So I have $500 bucks of scrap sitting in the yard.Hooke Road has since changed the Amazon listing to say it will not fit the Ridgeline. Thanks for nothing.I would send it back but the shipper trashed the box during delivery.

It's a fine product, functioning in the way I imagined it when I ordered it. There are several ways to get this to work with a Honda Ridgeline which require extra parts. The problem is that with most pickup trucks there is a short distance between the top of the bed side and the underside of the top and the bed rail is located at the top. The extra inch and a half or so between the top and the lower bed rail means that whether the is to be secured by six included clamps (which I got) or by fastening the rack feet to bedrails, the clamps or bed rails are too low to attach. Something is needed to connect the rack feet to the clamps. Steel straps can be made to work. Z bar can be bought in exactly the right size to make the connection. Because I don't yet have bed rails I'm installing 2060 T-slot which has three T-slots on its 60mm surface. The top T-slot in the maximum width that will fit into the bed rail channel is high enough to connect the rack feet to the bed rail. I'm replacing the 22mm thick clamp with 20mm thick T-slot. If you bought the rack for use with bed rails perhaps 3060 T-slot might work. I haven't looked at it since I don't have that type. Photos will illustrate the mismatch between the rack feet and the clamps. In the closeup the clamp is pushed over so that the bolt hole used for bed rails can be seen. Until the 2060 arrives I have the rack tied down to cleats to keep it from moving up. It can't move forward, backwards, down or sideways.
