Default Any Suggestions on Bedrails?

I'm looking for some black bed rails to go on my yellow ram and I'm not sure of the best brands or the best places to get the best deal. I'm looking for something relatively cheap, not the locking ones or anything fancy that costs $200+. Also, do the stake mount models look as good installed as the drill mount models? I'd rather notput any holes in the bed if I cankeep from itIf anyone has any closeup pics of how theirs mount that would be great or if anyone knows where I can get a good deal, let me know.

Stake mounted ones look just fine. IMO get the chrome tublar ones, Putco makes a niceset, both my buddies have them on their chevy's,however i think they are over your $200 range. Mine cameon the truckand they are the style that have the slots in them, wish they were the tubes. You could probably ebay some for cheap or wait until your local auto accessories store has a clearance.

I'm definitely going with the tubular ones. I found a black pair on ebay for less than $100 shipped that I asked the seller aboutto see if they would fit for sure and so I guess I will see if I get a reply from them. I'm going with black because I have black nerf bars and I plan on getting some black/chrome wheels. I think black and yellow looks really good together. I think the black ones are usually cheaper, so I'm hoping to find a decent set for under $200. Thanks a lot for the help.

I just picked up a set of MOPAR chrome rails for my '98 shortbed. Got 'em off Ebay for about $100 including shipping. For some reason you just don't see many trucks here in Vegas with 'em. I've always thought that really add style points!

I'm not sure I even know what a headrail rack is, haha. Unless you are talking about a brush guard, etc. For now I'm mainly just lookin' for some bedrails unless I find a good deal on something else as well. Let me know what a headrail rack is so I can say if I want one or not.

what i have on my truck is a headrail rack.. visually one piece goes along rails, and up for a headache rack.

same as this, -


if i remember correctly by the time all said and done... - his was 1100, mine was 400 cash. so im sure that down in the states you can get it cheaper.


mine is made from exhaust tubing not steel.
mine is rockguarded, this is polished steel.

The headrail rack looks good, but I think I'm just gonna go with the bed rails only. I found a good deal on some stake mounted ones that I'm gonna check into. Thanks a lot for lettin' me know what the headrail racks were, I am familiar with them, just didn't know the term. Thanks again.
