Eric, just saw your post. Is that the new style Bedrock? I have the old style Bedrock with round crossbars and two Yakima Lockjaw bike mounts. Had to search long and hard to find the Lockjaws = found some NOS. I like the Lockjaws since you can lock the bikes on without using a cable, it's built in.

I have used an InReach for a few years now in the mountains of WV where there is no cell service (National Radio Quiet Zone) and it has been flawless.

@Pindal, Mac guy here also. Just run the Windows software in a VM (virtual machine). Download VirtualBox for free and install Windows and off you go. No need for a second device.

@Scout , I appreciate the response that that doesn't really answer my question in the original post. Can anyone confirm or deny if the Softtopper will work with the Leitner?

Salt is actually a mineral, not a spice. Therefore, it does not lose its flavor over time like spices and herbs do. Now, as to the one spice - nope, not gonna limit myself to one. Garlic powder, cardamon, cumin, smoked paprika, Herbs de Provence, etc. I like choices.

Most of the coal production in the my part of the state (northern mountains) ceased back in the 70's/early 80's. The majority of the coal comes out of the southern and southwestern parts of the state. Appreciate the humor though.

I presume you're talking about road salt rusting them out? I'm in WV and we use a lot of salt. Never once had a lock or nut corrode up on me. Do you have to cut your lug nuts off when you change a tire? Also, by no stretch of the imagination can OH be considered northeast in my book.

Also precisely why I don't drive a black, white or silver/gray vehicle.

Throwing this out to see if anyone has any experience. I'm considering the Leitner Active Cargo System rack but would like a way to temporarily enclose stuff in the bed in certain situations. I've seen that the Softopper can be used under the All-Pro bedrack and maybe the Bestop one also. Does...

Off topic but where do you get 5'x5' plywood? All I ever see is 4'x8' or 4'x12'?

... and my point has been confirmed.

There are tons of options out there. Personally, I don't want to mount something to my dash with double sided adhesive so most of the dash mounts are out. Window suction stuff is okay. I think sticking a mount in a vent is a really bad idea if you want heat or cool air. The CD mounts might be...

I think part of the issue is folks who buy pickups never intending to use them as trucks. I have a small homestead and haul rocks, straw, mulch, wood, etc. in my truck. I also carry my mt. bikes on a Yakima Bedrock with Lockjaw mounts that puts the bikes above cab height. Canoes - I pop on the...

This is incorrect. Propane has 91500 BTUs/gal whereas pure ethanol has only 76100.
