Any reason you couldn’t do some bed mounted cross rails?

Well, several reasons actually ?

This picture may explain that part.

Rhino Rack or not?

I've been thinking on the Vortex roof bar w/ ditch mount deal, and I think I'm going to order it.

For a 2015 Colorado Crew Cab

I will be mounting a 150# RTT on it.

Any real issues that I've missed?

Yes it adds more weight up high, yes aerodynamics will be impacted, and I guess those are the two main "issues" as far as I can think..

IF YOU READ THIS WAIT BEFORE PURCHASING ANYTHING!!

Now that you've read this, wait a few weeks-months. Rhino Rack has released their backbone system for our trucks. Crew cab and Ext Cab. I know the 2 that have the prototypes. No specific details have been listed as far as release dates but they're out in the public.

Here's a few pictures I took of @bcuzucant 's who has the ext cab prototype.

These things are STOUT. Dont quote me on these numbers but I remember overhearing at least a 500# load rating. Wait for rhino to release the actual numbers but I can jump on this platform and it will be fine. Source: I've done it.

I've been chatting with them about the backbone setup. They've been telling me about September or so for release. I've already got a Pioneer platform now but have been waiting for their new setup. Here's a link to the Toyota one. Gives you some more idea of its setup.
