Here are the first pictures of the U bracket attached to the rail system and also a strut configured for the kayak rack.įor the U brackets, I used strut nuts (1/2") that I ground down to fit in the rail system. In the retracted mode, the rubber gasketed Topper pulls tight to the bed rails, presenting a water resistant and finished look, with no unsightly gap. Eventually, I will paint the kayak rack when it is finished. (I also had water pouring into the cab from the 3rd brake light.) Took it to the dealer. After washing it the first time (with a typical garden hose and nozzle), I noticed both Ramboxes leaked pretty badly, enough so that water was puddled up at the bottom. Anyway, I will provide pics as I get those done. Recently picked up a 2018 2500 Ram short bed with Ramboxes.
