I saw this rack on a truck today, asked the guy about it, it's from Lowes. 289.00, anodized aluminum, 800LBS rated.

Plus they are removable, but not adjustable.
Looks like they could support a RTT.
The install on the truck I looked at was very clean looking.

Thank you! Not a bad looking solution.

I really can't wait for my budget to expand this summer so I can move forward with my build. Honestly though the more I explore with my truck the way it is(dang near stock), I realize that keeping it simple isn't a bad thing either. I will say that my biggest concern isn't my trucks lack of mods but more so it's size. When I'm on the trail and see the nimble Jeeps and Tacomas I can't help but feel oversized. But, when I load up my truck with all of my supplies and goodies with room to spare I like it still. Plus, it's comfortable for the long hual, and so roomy. I'm thinking I may buy a used Jeep someday for the day trips and more technical overnighters maybe, but I will likely always use the truck for the long trips on and off road. I have seen some great full size pick ups having fun. Just my thoughts. Dream vehicle would be a 4 door Rubicon pick-up conversion(perfect happy medium)

it is probably better that you dont have the budget yet. It forces you to learn the vehicle you have, it limits, and yours. Then when you do have the funds, what you want or need to do to the truck for the way you us it is a lot more apparent.

The racks are completely modular and the company that makes them has accessories.

That is what I am learning lately. The truck has seemed capable so far, no scares yet. I have been surprised. Like I said before the only concern is size. I know you drive a full-size and that makes me feel confident about when I get to Big Bear. It would be nice to actually get on the trail with other full-size drivers and maybe learn more about the capabilities of the truck. I feel for what we are using it for now it is serving it's purpose. My goal being back country exploration and camping, a long with road trips. My long term goal being a south of the border adventure(not for a few years though). Thanks!
