Tacoma bed bars for RTT and softopper

Any chance you can take an actual video of this RTT mounted with the Softopper functioning open to close?

 

I've got 1 set in the shop, and parts for 2 more sets already cut. I'll get pictures of the set I have if anyone wants to claim them but my new mounting plates are cnc plasma cut and look much better. I'll post some pictures in a couple hours and get any questions answered. I've been lazy since I've been helping this shop out, but I get my parts cut on their plasma so I'll get more ordered tomorrow.

 

I made the first set for that truck. I don't have this setup on my personal truck but if someone local wants a set I'll be happy to cut you a great deal for some pictures and a video of how it works.

 

I've got this pair available, I used this set to build my fixtures so they have been in the shop for a while but they just need some slots and bedliner. I also will be picking up the new plates for these bars next week but these are the new ones for bed racks.

Wow, that's a great video. Thank you.

 

Looks as though the RTT is placed more towards the back of the truck to allow the Softopper to fold down correct? Awesome video thank you for posting. @GHOST SHIP

 

Yes, it needs room for the topper to fold into. It's all a tight fit, these were never meant to work together but they do.

 

The tent can sit closer towards the cab but for the sake of setup time, its way easier to leave as much room upfront as possible.

 

@RickyTaco77 can you measure the distance from the bed (top of the groove) to the underside of the bars? I want to know how much clearance I would have for storage.

I might be needing your services in the near future.

 

I can't, I do not have access to anyone local that has a set installed. I can get you the height from the top of the bed rail to the bottom of the tube, the whole bed is open and the tent will sit a couple inches above the bed. The only bed space used is what is needed to allow the topper frame to fold.

 

What is the measurement from the top of the bed to the bottom of the tube?

 

I'm looking for bed rails just like the kb voodoo rack that works with my bed cover but I'd like them to be about ten inches above the bed instead of the six. I'd also like it to have holes like the Kb so I can mount things to the sides and top. Would you be interested in building something like that?

 

Are you near Charlotte NC? I can definitely help you out with that.

 

I live in Hartwell and that's 2 hours from Gastonia. Which I commute to work an hour every day and I love road trips so coming to you would be no big deal at all .

 

How many visible inches of the bed rail are visible near the tailgate so I can make this happen?

 

No longer building them. Not enough interest in them to keep making them one set at a time.

 

If your local and would like to stop by I can build you anything you like.

 

Any chance you are still building these? I am heading down to Charleston in January and would definitely pick up a pair
