funny how well that reflection matched the real chrome strip =)

I was looking at one of those last year while I was having my bed lined
and cap painted. they look pretty nifty, but one of the guys at the
shop said they get them coming back, usually after a winter's use -
they seem not to put up well with salt and sand in the track and in the
springs, and ice and snow on top needs to be cleared off before you can
get into your bed. still seems great for warmer climates, though.

if you're going to put on a hitch platform, you might as well just
leave the bed cover open and tarp it to keep it dry... looks a little
less pathetic IMO ;-)
of course, depending on what you're carrying, you could rig up
something between your bed rails, possibly using a rooftop system from
Thule or Yakima.
