Diamondback HD with slide and yeti 75?

anyone know how low the locking mechanism hangs on the diamondback HD?

With the 3.5” height of the slide (low profile cargoease) and a yeti 75, am I going to hit the bar that locks the top? The yeti is 18” so it has a whopping 1/2 inch to clear. Not sure if removing the feet on the cooler will help...

Looking at possibilities before I get to a topper.

 

Coincidence, I have a DB and a Yeti 75. There is a bit of clearance when the DB lid down but not much - I usually throw a life jacket or two on the Yeti.

 

My rtic 65 clears fine if that helps.

 

Hate to side track but I’d never seen that slide and totally digging it. Pricing obviously not reflected on their website, but do you all have a general idea, by chance? (Thanks in advance)

 

How much is bit? 4+ inches?

I know it’s fit by itself but I want a slide to get to all my gear. Also, I’ve seen the locking bars go on an angle down to the tie down rails but also straight with an S-bend at the rail end. I’m wondering which version is newer and if they hang down and block below the top of the bed? With so little margin for error I would want to be sure.

Thanks for the help

 

It’s nasty expensive at 2300 Canadian so likely 1700-1800 US. There are many cheaper options if you can go with a little higher profile by the same company that look similar. The reason I’d get that one is the height of it.

 

Many thanks, jpod - actually not as bad as I suspected. Higher stance would be doable, but the problem is same as your dilemma- have my sights on a DB. Ive also got an RTIC 65 so sounds like I’d be fine in that department. Saving the monies for the DB but may have to start a separate fund for the slide now.....d@mmit!
C’moooooooooon, Santa!!!!

 

I can snap some pictures with a tape measure and the cooler. Perhaps tomorrow or Friday.

 

You may also want to call DB customer service. They are a small company and you may end up talking with an owner. They can probably give you exact measurements for what you need.

 

Another option: @mgm16trdpro has a DB and a bedslide. Knowing Mike he probably has a Yeti 75 too. Mike?

 

Haven’t forgotten. Hopefully tomorrow. Have been on the road for work.

 

The BedSlide is a little bit cheaper and has good reviews too.

 

Here are some pics. I have a line-x bedliner, and a rubber bed mat in the truck for reference and clearance. Those pieces of foam on top the cooler are 1.5 inches each. The DB rails have a little play in them, so you may be able to get the cooler in there, but you may need to stick it in the middle.

 

That’s awesome! Thanks so much for the help. I appreciate it.

This may be doable.

 

Good luck man. I should be home all weekend if you need anything else’s measured. Not sure what you really wanted so I just took a stab at some measurements.

 

Haha, knowing me lol. Yup got the slide and the DB, but no yeti, yet anyway. If I can help let me know.

Here's the proof DB and BS.

 

Yup, getting the HD and a slide. It has been decided.

Thanks for the help everyone. You've convinced me to spend giant hordes of money.

 

You can't go wrong with a Diamondback!

 

Better u than me right now lol. You'll love it, I do anyway. Congrats

 

Still waiting for my truck but I’ve ordered the HD so they come close to the same time.

 

do you have more pictures of your bedslide with the diamondback cover. I am contemplating getting one for mine. thanks

 

Sorry for getting back late.
I've been dealing with a ton of these lately. Yup that's water shooting about 30 ft up in the air with the valve turned down almost all the way lol. More work than sleep.


Here's some pics as u requested, if u looking for anything specific let me know I'll try to help. I love my combo if that helps at all.





Mine is a HD with the ATV package. If you dont need that or don't want the rails, then just order a HD which will look identical without rails, or a SE will have less tie downs, think 4.

Hope this helps, dont hesitate if u got any questions.

 

thanks for all the info. I have the SE diamondback and was looking at adding this to it. if you dont mind me asking, what size are those tires

 

Glad I can help. The tires are 35x12.5r17 Pitbull Rockers on 17x8.5 method 313s. Merry xmas
