Anyone Have Experience With the Kuat IBEX Bed Rack?

[WhiskeyTallwood]

I've been eye-balling the Kuat IBEX bed rack and was hopeful someone is running it and can give their thoughts. I don't have any plans for an RTT. Instead I want the kayak mounts, so not really worried about weight capacity.

More interested in thoughts on value for the cost (this setup is a bit over $3,000), adaptability with the molle panels, how easy the molle panels are to remove and put back if desired, any reduction in MPG, and overall happiness with the purchase.

Thanks in advance!

I have the ibex rack/molle panels/bike rack/riser kit and it works well. All together I paid about $5K CND. The Intrepid tent was another $5K CND. I think the overall value of my setup is fair but knowing what I know now I would get a off-road camper (i.e. Super Pacific) for twice the price and get twice the usability (you get a fully enclosed bed for your gear and the ability to stand up when the tent is open. That's what I plan on doing when I get my 2026 TRD PRO.
