The JackRabbit retractable hard tonneau cover with the Contractor Rig ladder rack lets you carry up to 1,200 lbs of cargo above your bed without interrupting the cover's function. Designed with a contractor in mind, the rack has a sturdy, over-the-cab extension to support longer loads and 4 integrated tie-down winches to help secure cargo and reduce the need for bungees or straps. The cover's durable ArmorTek construction consists of a vinyl fabric top sheet that is bonded to rigid aluminum panels, combining the seamless appearance of a soft tonneau with the security features of a hard tonneau. The stylish cover locks at any point along the rails, and it retracts easily with the turn of a handle.

Retractable Cover with Built-In Pull Strap

The original JackRabbit retracts with the turn of a handle. The handle - located on the key latch at the tailgate end of the cover - activates a heavy-duty tension spring. This spring automatically retracts the cover into the canister at the bulkhead of your truck bed. A built-in pull strap helps you extend the cover over your bed. As you pull, the tonneau will engage the side rails at 12" intervals. You can stop the cover at these designated intervals or you can use the key latch to lock the cover at any point along the side rails.

This feature enables you to carry tall or long items that overlap your tailgate while still covering cargo, such as a toolbox, stored closer to the bulkhead of the truck.

A hook-and-loop fastener strip is included to secure the pull strap up and off of your bed floor. You can also use the rear plate of the tonneau cover to pull it closed.

Contractor Rig Ladder Rack

The Contractor Rig ladder rack is designed for professionals with built-in extras to make the job easier. The ladder rack holds up to 1,200 lbs of cargo, and it extends over the cab of your truck to carry longer loads.

The ladder rack's rear crossbar is removable to make it easier to load large cargo into the back of your truck bed, and it includes a PVC liner to reduce friction when sliding cargo up and onto the ladder rack. Each crossbar contains rubber inserts to reduce wear on cargo and help keep it from moving around on the rack. Side rails run the length of the ladder rack to help contain your cargo and provide load support.

The ladder rack also includes 4 integrated winches with ratcheting straps - one on each leg - to help secure your gear. This reduces the need for additional straps or bungees. The ladder rack is constructed of durable, rustproof aluminum with stainless steel fasteners for corrosion resistance.

Explorer Series Rails

The T-slots in the rails allow you to position your ladder rack as needed to accommodate different sized loads without interfering with the operation of the cover. The T-slots also allow you to mount additional accessories such as a roof rack directly to the cover.

Angled Canister

The cover retracts into a compact, angled canister located at the front of your truck bed. This canister protects the retracted cover from the elements, and with the cover stored in the canister you'll have unrestricted visibility out of your rear window. The angled design of the canister also allows for maximum clearance for your tools and cargo so there is no need to remove the cover to haul cargo.

Water Management System

The JackRabbit rails feature a water management system that channels excess water into the canister. This prevents water from getting into your bed or freezing in your tonneau cover rails during cold temperatures. Drain tubes attached to the bottom of the canister remove water through the OE drain holes in the floor of your truck bed.

Flush-Mount Design

The black powder-coated side rails mount level with your truck bed rails for a flush appearance. This flush-mount design is aerodynamic to reduce wind drag, and it helps to improve gas mileage when the cover is closed.

Even with the flush-mount design, the cover fits over most fifth-wheel trailer hitches. Note: The highest point of the fifth-wheel hitch must be at least 2" below the bed rails.

Stylish and Heavy-Duty Construction

The JackRabbit deck is constructed of a vinyl top layer bonded to heavy-duty aluminum slats. This ArmorTek deck looks like a soft tonneau cover with no visible seams, but has the strength and security of a hard tonneau cover. A large seal at the rear of the bed closes the gap between the cover and tailgate to create a barrier to prevent water from entering the truck bed.

Security

The Jackrabbit provides excellent protection for your cargo when used in conjunction with a closed and locked tailgate. The thick aluminum panels are better at preventing theft when compared with soft covers that can be cut or punctured with a knife. The panels are also more effective at preventing theft than tri-fold hard tonneau covers because the panels cannot be pried open at any point along the rails.

No-Drill Installation

To install the cover, set the canister in your truck bed and support it with a box or other sturdy object. Slide the cover side rails into the canister until they are fully seated in the rail grips while also threading the cover into the channels in the rails. Secure the rails to the canister with bolts and washers.

Secure the rails to your truck bed side rails using 2 clamps per side. Slide the clamp onto the rail, flip the pivot arm up so it is under the bed rail lip, and tighten the clamp in place. Shims are included for trucks with tapered beds.

Each clamp at the tailgate end of the rails has a supplemental kickstand to help level the rails and prevent overtightening during installation. To install the kickstand, simply slide it into the grip handle at the bottom of the clamp. Rotate the kickstand so the foot rests squarely against the side wall of the truck bed, and tighten in place.

Mount the top cover plate to the canister with the included hardware. Attach the drain tubes to the canister and route each tube out of the OEM drain holes in the floor of your bed.

To hold the pull strap off the floor of your truck bed, apply the adhesive hook-and-loop fastener strip onto the underside of a rail at your desired location.

To install the Contractor Rig ladder rack on the cover, assemble the trusses off the vehicle. Once assembled, secure the truss mounts to the Explorer Series rails, and attach the trusses to the mounts with the included hardware. Install the side rails and crossbars, and then install the 4 tie-down winches on the trusses.
