    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    I don't think they do, I have a set from Low Range Off Road though and they are very good, even managed to hold my bed in shape after my rollover.

    If they don't, check out Avid's low profile bed rack/bars. I have them on my 04 and they're awesome, according to their website they still make them.

    You can get them with two or three bed bars, the basket is optional too.

    Does that basket setup support an rtt as well?

    I'm not sure I'd want to put the cross bars of an ryt on the basket itself but shorty bars should be able to handle the weight no prob...

    Hmm. I'll have to email them and ask. Because I really like that basket setup and planned on getting it soon. But also plan on getting an rtt, but the rtt would rarely be used.
    Or wait, on second look, it looks like that basket can be removed!?

    Yes, it will. The TW member I bought it from used it to support his RTT for a couple years before he sold it to me.

    Yeah the basket can come on/off, just 4 bolts (one on each corner).

    The front bed bar has Hi-Lift mounts on it too, I keep mine up on my roof rack though and am going to use the mounts on the bed bar to mount my jerry cans eventually.

    Only issue I'm going to run into is when I do get an RTT, I'll have to relocate my spare tire...thinking I might strap it underneath the basket, if I can find a way to do so where it doesn't move around.

    Suhweet! I'm sold! Now to just figure out what to do about my plastic bed liner situation. Ugh. Guess I could keep it in there and cut away a ill where it mounts. Because it's not ready for spray bed liner rn, and I'm not ready for bodywork.. Previous owner apparently drilled a Fuck ton of holes in the top bed rails... Yay!

    We disccontinued them due to lack of sales. We'd sell the 2nd/3rd gen bars about 30-40 sets to only 1 first gen set so it complicated building them more than we liked.
