Recommendations - Molle Bed Rack

[Kielly]

Which of you beautiful folks got a bed rack currently setup on your Tacoma? Love to see some pictures and some honest reviews.

I NEVER seen myself as a bed rack guy, but as I dive (or drive) deeper into the overlanding world I find myself slowly filling my imaginary shopping cart with thousands of dollars of overlanding gear.

Long story short, I want to eventually get to the point where I have a rooftop tent. Theres a couple main reasons as to why I want to go bed rack. One reason being I want to bring additional fuel, water, etc with me on my trips, and it just seems easier to stick it to Molle paneling. Secondly, I have a nice portable lithium power setup I plan to transfer underneath my truck rear seats cargo area, so eventually I'm going to want solar panels on the roof, leaving only the bed area for a rooftop tent, assuming I don't want to try to mount panels on my tent itself and potentially deal with water leaks or whatever; idk I'm pretty greenhorn with overlanding lol

My question is, would a roof(bed)top tent even be a possibility with the short box, and if so which bed rack do you recommend, I want to get some varying opinions going.

[TRUKD Bed Racks]

Check out our TRUKD Bed Racks! We have various rack height options depending on what tent setup you go with. We also have molle side panels with hinge kits that swing up to easily access gear in your bed. AND our T Series racks work with most bed covers if you also want that option.

Side-opening style tents work great on the short-bed Taco with a shorter rack. We currently have a wedge-style tent on our 4th-gen Tacoma that goes above the roof. We'd be happy to talk through all the options with you!

A bed rack with Molle panels the Kuat Ibex is super nice. Thats what I have if you have any specific questions. I however, kinda wish I had gone with the OVS Topper or similar for a waterproof solution. You can add panels to the ibex but at that point your over the cost of the topper options. Topper would require the rearview camera be extended, I believe theirs kits out for that. Dont have the molle panels in the ibex in the picture below but you get the idea.

If you want to spend money like I did, Kuat is the way to go using Ibex system. I will be adding the panels to enclose the bed, probably next year, and also on the bed, I will be adding the Decked system.
