TracRac (pix)
I was looking for something to use to transport kayaks and bicycles and met a guy while vacationing on the Florida gulf that was using a TracRac ( www.tracrac.com ) for his canoe. I was impressed with how well it was built, so I started searching for one. It's a bit expensive so I looked on eBay and found a used one. I am VERY satisfied. Take a look!
This is how it looks on the truck
Tool box will slide quite easily to the back of the truck for easier access. In fact, the previous owner warned me to be sure the box is tightened down by the screw *****. He took off too quickly from a stop light and the toolbox slid out the back onto the tailgate!
Track system for the box and racks
One of the things that sold me was the impressive welds. This thing is rock solid!
Cross member bracing
There are various accessories that fit into the tracks along the truck bed and across the tracks on the top and bottom of the cross members.
Check'em out at www.tracrac.com . No I don't have any connection to the company, I just am really pleased with the quality.

You're right, looks inviting!
However, there are four rubber expansion blocks inserted one into each post hole on the truck bed. These are covered by the rails. To remove the whole unit would require one to take everything off including the rails along the bed to get at these blocks. Could be done, but would take awhile. Furthermore, some of the parts are not reusable. Of course, they wouldn't know that until they had gone to all the trouble of removing it.
