I am looking at putting on a truck top for camping, etc and have looked at ARE, Smartcap, and RLD Design. Looked briefly at GFC, Snap Treehouse and others but the ARE CX HD with the crossbars that give you about 550 lbs capacity, has anyone put a front runner or rhino rack on top of the crossbars. I habe read some say not compatible and others have done it.
if anyone has, can you let me know how you did it.
Thanks
 
Interested. I placed an order for an RLD in October and still waiting for delivery. I was also thinking about running a Front Runner rack on the cap.

I'd be more inclined to add a rack to the optional Tracks and not use the Cross Bars. These are the Yakima Cross Bars available thru A.R.E

I had the ARE CX HD on my 2017 Chevy Colorado. I had the crossbars that are fixed and not the tracs. Keep in mind that if you want to use a thule cargo box you'll need the rhino rack platform plus the accessory bars. Here is a photo of my old setup: https://www.instagram.com/p/BsTysC8l0Yz/

Let me know if you have questions
