A different approach to truck bed racks

There would be 26.5" of clearance under the rack on a Tacoma (just had to measure ours to make sure).

So the back wheel would go mostly under the rack, but not all the way under. It would come down to the actual dimensions of the bike.

I might order a tailgate pad to see how that would work.

We put holes for fork mounts in the rack as well.

 

The number of beers depends on whether they are in cans or bottles.

 

I did the math with cans, too many bad experiences with slamming down off a ledge and ending up with a cooler full of watery beer and broken glass. Plus the cans are easier to pack out after crushing them.

 

If the tray section could also fit two Zarges 40678, this rack would be straight up perfect

 

The tray area measures 36” x 20”

I didn't see any dimensional specs in your link.

 

Each box is 22.95x15.28x13.26. The tray would have to be around 45" wide. It might need to sit a bit lower as well to ensure that the boxes are low enough to clear anything on the roof rack (e.g. kayaks).

This is a pipe dream for me...

 

Or alternatively, making the tray 36x23 would work even better since the boxes could be mounted sideways, providing easier access inside.

 

We have a whole bunch of larger tray options.

 

Ah dam i have a 29 inch wheel and need to load 4 bikes at a time. any plans to ever make a rack that sits higher?

 

If you use it with our tonneau brackets, they will increase the height by 2.5"

 

I’m gonna guess it’s a no since it’s 2005 to present but for the mini tiny 28 in long rack, but do you make it for first gen’s Tacomas?
