Sorry to hear the roller bearings in the cover are giving you a hard time. Typically the Retrax covers are bombproof without nearly any maintenance.

Our 6.5" bed rack with mounted tie downs is a common solution to carry a spare tire. If you want a little more space under the crossbars you can go with the 12.5" but it may stick the tire above the cab just a bit. Our racks are adjustable every 2" in height so you can dial it in as needed. We...
We have been working on our 2025 travel plans for a while now and have finally nailed down this year's schedule. We will be logging over 20,000 miles on the road for shows and their accompanying trips. Where will your Tacoma take you this year? If you find yourself at any of these shows stop by...
You need isolate where the squeak is coming from first. Maybe throw someone in the bed while you drive to see if they can locate it? Or you can ride in the truck bed to try to find it.
A bed cover with T-Slots is the way to go! Our racks work great with T-Slot covers, as well as sit-on-top covers like DIamondbacks, Extang Solidfolds, etc.
If you haven't heard of us you should check out our stuff. Stainless steel, allows you to open the Diamondback even when loaded down, modular, and much more!
Our ambassador, Kelly, took delivery of a 4th Gen Tacoma this year and we thought we would share the build progress so far on it. Kelly is a content creator primarily on Youtube under the channel name "Adventure Built".
As soon as we saw the 4th Gen Tacoma release we could not wait to get a bed...
We just received a rack back that was installed then removed from the customer's truck after two weeks. Really they just swapped uprights but we have some other scratch and dent parts laying around so we put together a "demo" rack to hook someone up with a big discount. The uprights have some...
The Revolver X4TS is good example of a hard roll up cover that has integrated t-slot rails. As mentioned the advantage to that set up is you don't lose bed space to the canister that holds the retractable cover.
Our racks also work great under sit-on-top covers as well as Diamondback covers...
What is the weight capacity of the rails on the XR one? I think we have had over 300lbs on one in serious offroad conditions without any issues.
I can't find the spec from Real Truck, but eTrailer says the rails can handle 500 lbs dynamic load. Which is more than the truck bed sides can handle...
The problem with low profile bed covers like the OEM one is they have a rail that runs along and hugs the bed lip which won't allow a rack to anchor to the utility rail. Since the utility rail isn't flush with the bed side the bed rack bracket runs into the cover's rail instead of sitting...
The Overlander can be set up in either position. We try to stay as competitive as we can on pricing. The modular design, stainless steel construction, and all USA sourcing makes it a fairly expensive rack to produce compared to some of our competitors. I'd love the chance to quote you, we do...
Under the most extreme off-road situations the rack can handle 1000lbs static, 250lbs dynamic. You can check out all of our different configurations here: https://gettrukd.com/collections/bed-racks
They all work with the Diamondback, but the lower racks may limit how much you can open the...
Thought I would drop in here in case anyone is looking for a full bed rack to go with their Diamondback Cover. Our racks are one of the only that still allow you to operate the cover even with the rack loaded down.
