Now that I have a tonneau cover, the next mission begins: racks and extra volume for larger trips.
I recognize that a topper with rack above will solve this. But …I just have a mental block about having a topper on ALL THE TIME. I foresee I would use the rack (for paddleboards) weekly when the weather is good but the topper will make carrying mtn bikes more cumbersome and takes away some visibility. And it just FEELS bigger (even tho the footprint of the truck is the same of course!).
If I had unlimited funds, I’d just get a topper with cross bars and put it on for the 2-3 times i need that volume (family trips). But I don’t…hence my question to you all!
What are some options to add extra (covered and removeable) volume to the truck?
My initial thought is to get a rack option (like Adarac) that has multiple height bars: taller bars hold the paddleboards, shorter ones hold a large ski box or similar. Any other ideas?
