Short Bed tent/bed rack question

Hey everyone,

I am trying to figure out a solution for a 2nd Gen Short bed Dual Cab Tacoma for mounting a tent like the CVT or ARB variants. What are you guy's using for this, are you using a roof rack or a bed rack, and which one in particular are you using?



Thanks a ton!

 

This might help you out.

thank you very much!

 

Ive had it on the roof with the stock roof rack and some inno cross bars




and over the bed with a custom bed rack from bamf.

i wonder how they fit the soft topper under the bed rack like that?

 

Jerry at Bamf custom made it for me so it would fit.

 

I just got my All-Pro PackRack, just waiting on my CVT. Definitely worth it. I've been All-Proing my Tacoma out and they make some good products. I highly recommend them.

 

Great company forsure. I got my front and rear bumpers from them and full skids.

 

can you fit a soft top under the all-pro packrat?

 

If you do not cut it down and keep it the full height then a Bestop or something like that will fit just fine

 

Really? The bestop takes up almost all of the bed side space. I had about an inch to work with.

 

The pack rack tubes just sit on a L-shaped frame platform that goes down the side. I'm sure you can mount the rack with the Bestop together as one

 

The Allpro Pack Rack (APEX) will NOT clear a soft topper. It is designed lower than the roof to keep tents and other gear lower. There is a fabricator or two who are building racks for this purpose (do some digging) and many of the others will make custom changes as desired. These custom mods will often delay fabrication considerably. That's the situation I am in now. Eight weeks or so.

Not a standard Allpro. Must have been a custom order.

 

Looking to use my oem rack to mount a tent, any info on thE best way to do this would be greatly appreciated

 

And which inno cross bars are you using, I can't seem to find any that fit the Tacoma rack
