I wanted a bed rack, after talking to a few manufacturers I asked the Tuwa folks, man their customer service is amazing! They didn’t know if the rack would fit with my setup but for the cost of shipping they sent me a leg to test. It fit great and I purchased the rack. Only took 2 days to arrive and I got it on last night, seems bombproof so far!

Are there different height options? Or is this "below cab" height it? I want something for longer items like a kayak.

Looks like that's the Mid Height (12.5") while they also offer a 17-20".

Damn, thanks for posting this. I have a list of rack and cover combos I'm considering and this is at the top, but going taller at 20in. Same bed cover too. Looks great. Post more stuff when you use the rack.

Looks great. Would be a little concerned about rear visibility but wouldn't want a rack that sits flush with the cab.

Might be the best one I've seen yet! Nice job.

On the top of your rack are those slots for T-Bolts? I'm going to assume you can mount Thule or Yakima kayak mounts on top. Also, do you hear a lot of noise from the rack driving down the highway?

It doesn't have t slots, just a lot of slotted holes. As far as noise, I'll get back to you. I never drive it as I ride motorcycles 98% of the time. Its a 22 and only has 20k miles.

The rack actually doesn’t block my rear view at all, it’s working great so far.

Got the next part done, added the Roofnest Condor 2, it fits just right and so far it’s great to drive around. I don’t have enough miles to judge fuel economy but there’s no drag, if anything the mav feels more stable overall.

I'm curious what kind of hardware they supplied for mounting to your TS rails. The Elevate rail slots have annoyingly different dimensions than a traditional t-slot and seem not to mesh well with anything other than Elevate hardware. It took me a bit to come up with a solution for mounting my homebuilt 80/20 rack that I was happy with.

Chris - thanks very much for your posts about the Tuwa rack and Roofnest Condor 2. After doing lots of research and trying one bed rack that did not work, it looks like I am ending up with the same setup as you have (except on a SyneticUSA retractable cover). Both the rack and tent arrive later this week.
By the way, I called Roofnest to ask a few questions, and when the customer service rep heard I had a Maverick, he immediately steered me to their Facebook page to find the photo you posted on there. You should ask for a cut...
And Tuwa customer service was very responsive and helpful, as you said in your other thread about the rack.
Thanks again for helping me to visualize the setup.

So if I am seeing this correctly - The Pro X15 sits inside of the Tuwa rack (with the Elvate TS rails) and that allows you to still roll the Pro X15 up correct?

Depending on your dimensions, this might be fine.

My rack sits an inch or two higher, but my kayaks clear it by about 3" IIRC

Really depends on the geometry of the yak, I guess
