    Bed Rack idea...

    No need to keep it secret, Yakima rarely goes on sale and all stores/online retailers use the same prices. You will not find the parts for any other amount. Load Warrior $269 Cross Bars $80 Landing Pads $70 Control Towers $165 Locks $55 Tracks $155 I think thats everything. Also, if you...

    Bed Rack idea...

    Today I wanted to see if I could move the rack setup off and on the truck with only one person. Sure enough, I could! I really like the Yakima Control Towers, they make for quick removal.

    Bed Rack idea...

    Rack complete Ok so I finally got the rack on. I removed the bed rail caps completely and mounted directly to the bed sides. I used plusnuts, 5 on each side. It seemed that in order to get a solid mount to the bed the plastic rail caps had to be removed. They would become deformed with the...

    It should hold the RTT no problem. It will probably be about a month or more before I get this installed. I recently had knee surgery and have a vacation planned next month. I'll definitely post the install/review when I do it.

    I wish I had mo hands, I'd give Thudbuster 4 thumbs down!

    I had a LT thudbuster for several years and loved it. I have since given it to my dad and he still has it on his bike. It's been in use for 10 years now. I've turned more into a weight weenie and wouldn't be caught riding one now, but I do have good memories using it.

    Thats it. How did you mount the tracks to the bed? Bolts/nuts, self taping screws? I am not interested in buying, but thanks for the offer.

    Bed Rack idea...

    I had the idea come to me to use the Yakima tracks and control towers along the top of the bed sides to mount accessories to. I am wondering how easy it is to access the underside of the bed sides in order to mount the tracks. Here is a picture of the rack system. I haven't looked too closely...
