Sneak Peak - Another New Product - Modular Chase Rack

[AdventureLab]

I'm looking for a way to mount chase lights and antennas. This looks interesting as long as it will coexist with a bed cover.

That's a definite.

It’s a cross bed tool box that os typically found on a pickup.

Oh, gotcha. Nope. Don't think that's going to happen, not with this design. You could get an in-bed toolbox, one that lives between the bed rails, though.

I have your bed rails. Looks like this would probably interfere with the front one

Possibly. Not sure what this one is going to turn out to be yet, but we will definitely want to grab the middle holes in the bed rail.

Hows the development going?

Haven't had much time to work on this one lately. Focusing on Raptor Rally. Just loaded up the trucks. Should have more time for R&D in the next week or so.

Ford sells one in other markets. You might consider copying it. It looks good and proven.

I'm pretty strict about not copying other products, but I appreciate the suggestion. Thanks.

Hey, just wondering how the development is going for the modular Chase rack. Any idea when it will be available for sale? Price?

I haven't been able to spend much time on it lately. I do think about it a lot, so hopefully when it comes back up on the schedule, we can hit the ground running. We have lots of other products pretty far along in the dev process that we're focusing on right now.

Any update??

Not yet. Still in the queue. Love seeing all of the questions about this, though. It helps us judge demand and helps to know where we should apply our R&D time. Thanks!

Would this work with the stock folding tonneau cover? Definitely interested

i like the idea about having the option of above cab and inline with cab. i don't want an above cab and i don't mind if it works with a tonneau or not. i just want one that looks like it fits the truck's shape. i do like the molle idea though.

i think a little longer side coverage and maybe a little more top length, towards the back of the truck, on top and sides, would be cool and could possibly aid in aerodynamics and help improve gas mileage (for those who track it).

since consideration of the third brake light needs to be taken, you will probably have to have a built in light that just hooks to the truck somehow so the rack's light works when the brakes are applied

see how this one mounts mounts flush looking? that is what i would like to see. instead of the bar that says ranger, fill that in with the molle panels, or leave the option to put a blank plate in, or no plate and its just open. if you use rivnuts, or some kind of threaded insert, you could make tons of things that could be bolted in between the bars. and instead of the legs curving down, have the legs continue that slope a little farther back. you could put another bar across the top so there is a plate across the top two bars that gives a place for lights, antennas, wires to run, etc. and you could put cut outs all along the insides of hte bars to hook ratchet straps or even have bars that cane be mounted across the bed to hold other stuff people think of.

kind of like my drawing in paint, but you can fill in the sides with panels
