Question:

I like the setup with the bike and kayak above this tonneau cover. How would I get the bars to install the bike and kayak on? I usually go on day trips during the weekend to get outdoors and this would be perfect with the tonneau cover to lock all of my gear in my truck bed. GMC Sierra 3500 2023 long bed.

I'd be happy to help you with a rack system above the Pace Edwards UltraGroove Retractable Hard Tonneau Cover # PE57CV for the long bed on your 2023 GMC Sierra 3500.

For a simple rack system you can use the Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbars # RRVA180B-RRRLT600 which sits about 4" above the tonneau cover and has a 220 lb weight capacity.

Then if you don't already have a bike rack or kayak carrier I recommend the Thule UpRide Roof Bike Rack # TH599000 and the Yakima BigCatch Kayak Roof Rack w/ Tie-Downs # Y04091 for the kayak carrier. The UpRide is one of the easier bike racks to use and it allows you to keep the front wheel on so it's less setup and breakdown time, and then the BigCatch is designed to accommodate up to 150 lb fishing kayaks so you don't have to worry about compatibility.
