With its impressive load capacity, seamless vehicle integration, and robust construction, this rack system is a game-changer. And the best part?

Getting Started: What’s in the Box?
When you receive your Rock-It Rack, you’ll find all the components neatly packaged and ready for assembly. Your kit will include:
- Pillars: The main uprights.
- Cross Bars: Connects pillars from one side to another.
- Runners: Overhead pieces without a logo that connect.
- Side Bars: Similar to runners but include the “HMOR” logo (except for 12” tall units).
- Molle Panels: Accessory panels to mount gear.
- Rack Assembly Hardware: Main structure bolts and nuts.
- Attachment Hardware: To secure the rack to your vehicle.
Easy Installation: A Quick Overview
Tools Required:
- 9/16” ratcheting wrench or socket
- Tape measure
- ½” wrench (for Retrax/Roll-N-Lock applications)
Time for Install: Approximately 1.5 hours
Coating: The unit comes powder-coated. We also offer color-matched touchups to keep your rack looking great for years.
The installation process is designed to be as straightforward as possible. Whether you prefer to assemble the rack fully on the ground, partially on the ground, or directly on your truck, the choice is yours. We recommend the partial ground assembly method for most people, which simplifies the process.
Simple Steps, Big Impact
- Preparation: Lay out all pieces and ensure all parts are accounted for. Clear your bed rails of any accessories or tie-downs that might obstruct the installation.
- Assemble on the Ground: Lay a pair of pillars and one cross bar on a towel-covered flat surface. Measure the rail-to-rail distance and space the pillars accordingly.
- Hand Tighten Hardware: Install and hand-tighten the carriage bolts, washers, and nuts. Place the assembly on the truck and square it up to the bed with a tape measure. Tighten the pillars to the rail fully.
- Install Additional Components: Attach runners, side bars, and molle panels. Ensure everything aligns properly and there’s no overlap.
- Check and Adjust: Ensure all components and fasteners are flat and straight. Retighten all fasteners.
No-Mod Hardware Option
For those using the no-mod hardware, the process is just as simple. The no-mod mounting back plates sit behind the pillar L-bracket and bed skirt, allowing for easy hand-tightening of the install hardware. This method is perfect for those who want a seamless, no-drill installation.
