you can do that. just need some of the d-ring bed cleats, and cargo cross bars. all OEM stuff you can buy at the dealer or online. i assume you already have some d-ring bed cleats already though, so you would just need the cross bars. Adventurenorth has successfully mounted a yakima loadwarrior on the OEM crossbars. so it should work.
Yakima/Thule cargo box
Has anyone thought about using one of these

but place it in the bed of the truck? What I was thinking was, to rig some bars to go across the bed using the rail system and then attaching this cargo box on that. Still leaving room underneath to store your gear e.g. snowboards, camping stuff while keeping your clothes etc nice and dry.

dont bother searching, i am here. i know.:kingme: 
here some pics of his setup. the cleats and the cross bars are oem stuff.
as you can see in this pic, the cross bars mount to the cleats, and the cleats mount to the rail system. and because it is on the rail system, it is very adjustable.

and the cargo box goes ontop of the crossbars obviously

that's pretty shabby to have a rail system and a cross bar attachment and the rails cant handle a lot of vertical load
Limit is 50 lbs a bar, but it's pretty simple to fab up some iron to brace the rails a little better. I did it with mine and can stand on them now, they don't move. I'll try and get some pics later.foofighter said:that's pretty shabby to have a rail system and a cross bar attachment and the rails cant handle a lot of vertical load
