This 2009 Chevy Silverado tonneau cover rack for bikes is a simple solution for what at first appears to be a highly customized pickup truck tonneau bike rack set up.  The Thule 430 Tracker II Base rack system with the Thule  TK1 Tracker Kit snaps right onto the rails of the Pace Edwards Jack Rabbit Tonneau with Explorer rails.  The addition of 3 upright mount bike racks completes this Chevy Silverado bike rack solution.

Nice job.  This GMC Sierra 1500 SLT 4 x 4 tonno cover bike rack system looks clean and mean.  Installed on the GMC Sierra tonneau cover is a set of Yakima 60″ tracks, which can be shortened to desired length with a good old hack saw.  Installed into the Yakima 60- inch tracks is the Yakima Control Tower Complete roof rack with two sets of Yakima Landing Pad 1 (LP1).  Carrying that nice Ibis road bike and that sweet Kona mountain bike are two Yakima Sprocket Rocket bike racks.  For security the Yakima SKS 6 pack of locks did the trick (4 locks for the Yakima Control Towers and 2 locks for the two Yakima Sprocket Rocket  bike racks).  Again, nice job.

This 2010 Ford Explorer Sport Trac Bike and Canoe Rack easily transports one canoe and two bicycles using: for the roof, the Yakima Railgrab roof rail system which attaches to the 2010 Ford Explorer Sport Track factory side rails, and the Yakima Gunwale Brackets Canoe Carrier. The Tonneau cover bike rack uses the Yakima Control Tower base rack with two pairs of the Yakima Landing Pad 6 and two Yakima High Roller Bike Racks.

This is how you do it folks.  This is a 2010 Ford Explorer Sport Trac canoe roof rack and Tonneau cover bike rack using all Yakima racks.  Mounted to the ’10 Ford Explorer factory side rails is the Yakima RailGrab rail rack system with Yakima 48″ round crossbars.  Attached to the roundbars is the Yakima Gunwale Brackets canoe rack, which comes with the necessary straps and tie downs.  On the 2010 Ford Explorer Sport Track Tonneau cover is the Yakima Control Tower base sytem attached to the tonno cover using two sets of the Yakima Landing Pad 6 Permanent Landing Pads for tonneau covers, camper shells, etc. Mounted to the yakima 48″ crossbars are two Yakima Highroller bike racks.  If my math is correct, a Yakima SKS 8 Lock Pack would lock down the two Yakima base rack systems and the two Yakima bike racks, and all with one Yakima SKS key.

Thule 430 Tracker II roof rack review by 'J. Cochran'. He is using the 430 Tracker system as a 2006 Ford F-250 tonneau cover rack.

Overall Rating: 4 Stars (out of 5)

Configuration: 2006 Ford F-250 tonneau cover rack for attaching bike racks

“I purchased the Thule 430 Tracker II rack kit to install over my truck bed tonneau cover. Install was a breeze! The perfect solution for transporting our (4) bikes when we tow our travel trailer. These load bars are heavy duty! Secure the tracker kits in position, snap on the tracker feet, secure load bars….ready for bike trays. Simple push button removal to store bars and feet when not in use. These are so easy to remove, lock cylinders are a must. The only inferior part of this system is the TKCAP covers. The tabs inside the covers are paper thin. One of mine broke the first time I put it on, and the other three have a very loose fit. If not for the TKCAP issue, this kit would be 5 stars.”

Nissan Titan bed rail bike rack system using Thule 42" tracks and Thule 430 Tracker II base system with Thule 517 Peloton bike rack

Here’s a great alternative rack system for truck owners.  Instead of a rooftop system, like the Thule 400XT complete base system, or a truck rack, like the Thule 422XT Xsporter, this Nissan Titan is rocking a pair of Thule 42″ tracks permanently mounted to the bed rails which allows the use of the Thule 430 Tracker II base system.  The great thing about this set up is that the feet and bars can be taken off when not needed with the push of a button.  You can also see a Thule 517 Peloton bike rack attached to the crossbars with plenty of bar space left for a Thule cargo box or other attachment.  The other nice thing about this set up is how it doesn’t interfere with the Tonneau cover.  If you’re thinking of mounting racks to your Tonneau cover, consider this solution first.

A fantastic solution for carrying bikes on a 2007 Toyota Tacoma tonneau cover using Rocky Mounts PitchFork bike racks attached to the Yakima Control Towers and Tracks base rack system.

A simply superb customer installation highlighting a 2007 Toyota Tacoma tonneau cover rack with bike racks mounted. The system includes the Yakima 60″ Tracks (cut down in size to fit the tonneau cover) and the Yakima Control Towers roof rack attached to the Tracks using the Yakima LP1 Landing Pads. 3 RockyMounts PitchFork bike racks are then connected to the base rack system cross bars.
