Hey guys,

Sorry, but I searched and didn't find much on this.
Is there a simple bed rail / utility rail that is preferred by most?

I just want something that is functional and not a ton of money.

Thanks
Take Care

I am going to be going with these:

DEE ZEE DZ 99704B Hex Side Rails
And the
DEE ZEE DZ99799TB Hex Cross Rails

Bike mounts: Swagman UPRIGHT Roof Mount Bike Rack

Then I’m going to use some bike mounts so I can put my 5 bikes up top and retain the bed space.

I like the idea of a roof rack, I’m just concerned with drilling or general attachment. Is the Swagman rack modular in that it can use a basket or other such storage devices?

Well I am attaching the roof rack actually to the DEEZEE he cross rails so I can mount all 5 of my bikes above my bed and still be able to use my bed and bed cover. Trying to get maximum storage with lots of bikes :)

Using these rails, what would be my options for a bed cover that would work with them?

i made something very similar to these using super strut heavy duty unistrut.only cost me about 60 bucks.it's strong enough to carry both my electric powered kayaks fully loaded out.i can move my mounting points to wherever i need them to be using 1/4" eyebolts and unistrut nuts.costs a fraction of a brand name that does the same thing.
