Today I Installed the rack system with no issues. Easy to follow video made install very quick. Over all pleased but a couple of things to consider.

It leverages rail system:
Pro - easy install
Con - limits tie down locations

Thinking through where rail tie-downs should be placed is something to consider and how often you plan to use them.

Due to the small bed space it does cover bed lighting:
Pro - protects from being hit
Con - blocks lighting from being effective

I plan to revisit in future to add some sort of lighting in bed. Ideally wired off existing bed lighting.... Anyone tried this yet?

Overall very pleased, still need to do some adjustments. A great option for those looking to keep the bed open for hauling.

Looks good. Overall I think the illumination of the factory lights is great but I don't feel that they stay on long enough to be decent. Honestly, I wish Jeep would have wired it so that any time the tailgate is down, the lights are on. I may do something custom in the future to ensure that that happens.

With the system you've installed, can you still fit a 2x6 into the slots on the bed side?
 
Very cool system. Could you wire in an additional bed light into the aux switches?
