Hey guys, recently moved from a '00 Dakota w/ 180k to a '15 5.7L Hemi Regular Cab with a short bed. Love this truck. I've got my tires picked out and Bilstein adjustable struts in the mail. Planning on some N-Fab step bars to get my short ass in the thing. What I'm having trouble deciding on is what kind of cap/bed storage to go with. There doesn't seem to be many if any pictures of 4th gen regular cab short boxes with caps on 'em. I liked the Can-Back canvas cap with roof rack but for 2k why not go with a fiberglass cap? Looking for something I can put a roof rack on for the canoe and being a regular cab, some more dry storage wouldn't be bad. I'm also open to tonneau covers w/ bed rack combos. Curious what you guys are running/liking and what looks good of course. Any info and pics are appreciated and feel free to just post some pics of your regular cab short beds...don't get tired of seeing them!

I also had moved up from a Dakota. I don't have a cap, just a tonneau cover. And welcome!

love the fibreglass match paint, good luck with your search and welcome to a great site. In fact this is the ONLY site I use if that means anything.

Alright, think I'm gunna go with something like this tonneau rack combo:

https://shop.agricover.com/category/coverandrack

Any one used these products and have any input? Then I'd like to fab up some mounts that would allow me to do something like this:

Ram 1500 Bed Cargo Basket (Part No: TCCAN859)

to add cargo space above the tonneau and below the canoe. I also came across this, which I thought was pretty rad, but a little out my price range, especially with all the accessories...worth a look though!

Truck Bed Rack: Active Cargo System for Ram With 6.4-Foot Bed

Any way thanks for the input...bummed i didn't get to drool over any decked out regular cabs though :baby:
