Load Bar Recommendation for 2005 Nissan Frontier with Camper Shell
Question:
I have a 2005 Nissan frontier king cab with the 6 ft bed. I just put an aluminum camper shell on the bed that extends about 6 to 8 inches above the cab. I want to put a rack over the top of the camper shell that will hold things like surfboards, a solar shower, a rocket box, etc. Probably no more than 300 or 400 lbs max, usually around 200 or 300 regularly. Do you have some recommendations on what kind of rack or how a rack would attach to the bed of the truck? Are theres stake pockets in the bed or is the utilitrack the main support for racks on these models?

The best solution for adding load bars to the top of the camper shell of your 2005 Nissan Frontier is the Thule TracRac Caprac part # TH29200XT which comes with load supports, install hardware, and has a capacity that will match whatever the roof of your camper can hold.
