Custom Install - Truxedo Elevate on Truck2go PRO Retractable Tonneau

Graboid said:

I'm loving my Pro Retractable tonneau, a great cover and great value at $891 shipped!

The one shortcoming however was how the canister cover mounts on top of the front of the T-rail tracks. This reduced the max distance between the Truxedo racks, making for a less than ideal cargo carrying surface, and in my view odd looking proportions.

Getting the front rack closer to the cabin was fortunately pretty straightforward - simply drill the cover to accommodate the rack's mounting points.

This consisted of enlarging the existing front mounting hole on the cover, and adding a new hole towards the back.

The most time consuming part of this mod was waiting for the longer T-bolts I had to order from Amazon .

Hey Graboid

Hey Graboid,
Nicely done getting that upright close to the cab. That Elevate rack looks to be at it's lowest setting and still 3-4 inches above the cab. Would take some cutting to get it lower. What do you haul? Kayak or paddle board would be well off the roof which is what I'm searching for. regards Jeff
