This rack is extremely sturdy and I have the utmost confidence it will handle anything I throw at it. The assembly is straightforward, between the video and PDF instructions, it was a breeze.I also opted to buy and install the 50" 2x1 extrusion (from a 3rd party). Installation to the truck was a bit more challenging. It is a snug fit over the BesTop SuperTop for Truck 2, but it fits! I had 2 other people help me during the installation to help support and move the rack to orientate it with the top. Overall, this is a great product from a great company who stands behind what they sell.

I love my new overland bed rack to go over my softopper on my 2017 Tacoma TRD Sport. I opted to forego the two front to back cross members on the top and added in 4 2"x1" aluminum extrusion bars (50" in length), so that it could accommodate my iKamper mini 3.0. The gusset corner pieces are the hardest to install, I had to loosen the other cross beams in order to squeeze them in. I recommend installing all the gussets loosely first and then tighten them a little on each corner at a time. I installed the side panels both so they open up. I will say that the hydraulic pistons are VERY sturdy and even hold up 4 gallons of water/fuel in rotopax in the up position (not recommended though and probably best to remove the rotopax first). I'm a bit shorter so it made sense to install them that way so I can access the bed of the truck from the sides without the doors being in my face. When I bought my iKamper off another seller used, he commented about how he liked how snug the bedrack fit over the softopper. It holds the RTT no problem. There area few design improvements worth thinking about in future versions. One, when you put an iKamper 3.0 mini on top, it hangs over by a few inches on each side, hindering the ability to squeeze an OVS awning on there. I'm still playing around with ideas on mounting an awning on the driver side like the OVS 270 LT while still sitting below the RTT or not sticking out too far. Another thing I like is the side panels fit a set of traction boards perfectly like my US Action Trax on the driver side. Mounting positions were flexible enough to play with the pins and get them aligned. I suggest getting the pins aligned with your boards before adding the panel to the bedrack. I also added two 2 gallon rotopax to the other side panel. The mounting positions are prefect for the rotopax back plates. However, the way the mount positions are spaced, they are two far apart to interlock two rotopax together, which meant I needed to go out and buy another lock for the 2nd rotopax. If the positions were flexible, it would be nice to interloc them so you only need one lock for both rotopax. The only parts that were a little short were the plastic spacers for the door hinges. I needed to shift them around a little to get the doors to latch correctly, and found that a few extra could come in handy for future reference. The other other thing I'd love is for an aluminum version as this rack is pretty beefy at 160lbs. With my 125lb RTT on there also and some gear, I'm going to have to beef up my rear leaf springs and shocks in the next few months to handle the extra weight. Overall, I'm very happy though and will likely add some rear baja lights to the back eventually and also some grab handles to hop on the roof when needed. Overall, a very solid product and very well thought out overall.

We bought an ikamper mini to use on this rack and we weren't able to mount it due to the distance between the front and back load bars being too far apart to accommodate the ikamper 3.0 brackets. The front bracket couldn't sit in the tent rail and still reach around the bars. Maybe they're just too wide and too far apart for this particular tent, but we will be selling this rack since we aren't interested in any of the other RTT options out there.

Great packaging for shipping. All required parts and hardware. Unfortunately several issues with bolt holes/slots lining up properly. Had to drill out for all 4 corners where the uprights mount to top side rails. All cross brackets between were too snug of fit and had to be more than forced (yes all bolts still lose for adjusting as much as possible.) doors also off alignment from lock mechanism latching causing very difficult closing/opening. Installed one flip up and one fold down. (Still not sure how to remedy this yet). All in all, It is put together and functional as a RTT/Gear rack minus the doors function. And lots of powder coating scuffed off from the process of making this all fit together. Would still recommend as an overland bed rack. Maybe just don’t count on much use of the doors.
