Can you remove the crossbars to maintain access to the bed?
'Unfortunately,' no. I had thought about doing that, but I will be setting up a pulley system in the garage to store it when I don't want it on the truck. It's only held on by the 8 bolts in the angle iron on the bed rails, so it won't really be a big deal to remove it.
I had the tonneau cover on the truck (since purchased), so I was used to owning a nonfunctional truck... If I needed to use a truck bed, I swapped with a friend, which I can still do.
I may still try and find a roll-up cover that will work with the rack.Very nice, to bad you couldn't keep the bed covered to keep your stuff clean and dry...
If you want to make the cross bars removable...
Yeah, those are them.^^are those the ones they used on Extreme 4x4 on the s10 truggy?
