whoa man, what a crazy cool setup. Great to hear you've realized your initial vision for this rig!

The truck bed rack, look the part and give the Dodge a whole new look!!! I like the whole "change my mind" system, one can play with different setups till you find one that work. Leitner should go international with this product idea so we in other countries can also enjoy setups like yours!!! The orange max tracks look cool with your truck.

Thanks! I agree!!!!

You re doing an amazing job sharing your stuff with us ! I love it

I am a Paramedic and I installed a set of MaxTrax on the side of the bed rack of my 1990 Chevy K3500 1-Ton 4x4 Dually and I never go off-road without them now. Recently I found another use for them when I came upon the scene of a horrific vehicle accident where a vehicle had caught fire. With the help of my passenger I was able to use one of the MaxTrax as a backboard to carry the injured driver of the vehicle with a suspected spinal injury a safe distance away from the vehicle before the fire spread to the cabin of the vehicle. After that incident, I will never go anywhere without my MaxTrax on the truck again.

Great love watching the Ram mods, keep up the great job.

Looks great Jason, look forward to seeing the RTT install!

Jason, Watch out for the bed separating especially on the older 4th gen’s. I have a rack on mine with a CVT tent and spare tire (maybe 300# total) and the front of my bed began to separate where the front of the bed meets the sides (they’re tack welded). Getting bed braces at the tailgate seriously helps but so does bolting the bed together where the tack welds are holding the bed together. The newer 4th gens are bolted, but the older ones are welded. Happy camping!

Key note here: As far as squaring up the bed rails and getting the measurements for the upper crossbars, RAM truck bedsides are NOT square. Specifically with this setup on a 4thGen Ram. The front measurement is larger than the rear. In other words, if you measure the front inside bedside edges then the rears you're gonna see easily 1-1/2-2 inches of difference. What's nice though is you can adjust the bed rails to get a "best fit" scenario allowing the crossbars to slide but they tend to not fully slide all the way forward unless you loosen the mounting hardware.

Just a follow up on your great video. After several years of use, have you added any custom or home-made brackets and/or mounts to the ACS? the T-channel is the perfect basis for doing almost anything. Just installed my ACS Forged last week (2022 F150) and love it. And now working on ideas for holding my motorcycle ramps. Simple J-brackets mounted at the inside bottom rails of the ACS? Yes, just round home-depot wall hooks might work too, but not as stable. Then ramps will hang down just inside of both sides of the bed. And a simple top strap, like on my jerry can bracket will hold ramps securely. But I would love to see what other ACS owners have added over the years. Thanks in advance.

I want that same setup on my Tacoma and was wondering what the total price for all of that is. I know that they don’t sell an all in one. You have to buy each accessory separate and the price stacks pretty fast. Thanks in advance for your answer.

Daaaaaang!

How about fixing that nice dent in the right rear cab corner/bed junction. Sheesh man ;-) These are definitely nice racks systems. How long does the hardware last before getting rusty? Is it stainless hardware? How about condensation in those waterproof cargo boxes?

How many gallons are the red Rotopax in this video? Would a 4 gallon unit fit in place of the 2 smaller units? If so, could you stack (2) 4 gallon units together without worrying they will be too heavy for the hardware?

Install looks great! What are your plans for the light bar? I'm sure it would look great on my 13 Ram! ;-) Let me know!

How much weight is the rack rated for? Once you load up all of those water/fuel cans, both bins with equipment, and have that big rooftop tent.....you have to be close to the max weight. Then go do some rugged off-roading, I want to see you put that baby to the test!
