Cool concept.

I have no plans of drilling holes in the bed. I have a factory bed rail system and have been toying with brackets to utilize that. Want the rack to sit low enough that bed cover will fit when rods aren't in the rack.

Mocked up these brackets with a 4" drop. Not sure if I'll powder coat the steel or redo them in aluminum. Trying to keep everything black in color. Thinking of making a wood crossbar and having it rhino lined to match the bed.
