Abstract: A vehicle rack system including a framework including a driver's side portion, a passenger's side portion and a front portion extending therebetween. The driver's side and the passenger's side portions being triangular in configuration and having a lower frame piece for mounting to a side bed of a vehicle and a downwardly sloping upper frame piece. The upper frame pieces of the driver's side portion and the passenger's side portion may diverge in a rearward direction from the front portion. The system includes a covering for providing a sheltered environment for the vehicle's cargo bed. The covering includes driver's side and passenger's side panels that are removably insertable into the side portions. The covering also includes a cover spanning between the driver's side portion and the passenger's side portion. It is contemplated that the driver's side portion may be constructed as a mirror image of the passenger's side portion.
