As anyone placed a BackRack on their 2005 & up Dakota? If so, could I get a picture of the way you attached it on your box.
Here's the backrack for the ones that don't know what it is. http://backrack.ca/

Thanks!

 

I actually like it, handy for tying down spots, and mounting lights. Id do everything in my power to prevent drilling though.

Another question, is Ive been thinking of getting a toolbox for my truck... any idea on what size? And how do they mount? I was looking at the part that goes over the bed rails, and I saw no clamps or anything. I doubt it just sits there.

 

Yup, the Dakota's, we need to drill a couple holes but that makes it tighter and won't come loose.

Drilling throught the bed suck's.

 

Yeah avoid drilling, if you need to drill, then use some spray paint, tape off all areas around the holes and paint them, then use 2 washers the size of the screw to seal it off from water, that's what I did to my roof when I drilled through it. One of my friends has a toolbox on his truck, and it originally came ready to mount with double back tape, I doubt it would work though. He drilled through the toolbox, and put 2 J-hooks on it so that it clamped under the bed and held the toolbox in place.

 

Thanks, I know that's not the best option to drill but with hauling 4 wheelers in the back, that's a must to have a back rack. Had one on my past Dakota's a loved it.

Picture of my last Dakota's back rack.!

 

HAHA I wish i had one of those last summer, i put my four-wheeler through my back window. I had a hard time finding one for the daks because I always looked it up as a headache rack, now im gonna search using the term BackRack maybe I'll geta better selection. Plus i was thinking of welding some round stock onto theBackRack and allow the flags to fly that would make is secure.

 

Well there is a company in canada that makes those called http://backrack.ca/
They have one made for the 3rd gen Dakotas.

Have one on order and will place it ASAP. Busted few windows already on my other trucks so...
