Looking for a rack for the bed.. what do you all run and how much was it?

Thule also has some partnership with dewalt, or dewalt owns thule or something, the guy at american ladders and scaffolds who sold me the racks said he could order the same exact racks with dewalt logo, weird. Wizzard005, the thule website says they are $630 but i thought i payed less than that. Make sure you get the clamps for the tacoma so you can fasten the racks to the factory bed rails. http://www.tacomaworld.com/gallery/showphoto.php/photo/251583/cat/500 if you want the racks to go low like azogSS has them i think you will have to cut them. But without cutting they can be adjusted to about 1 inch lower than the roof of your truck (this is the main reason i chose these over the trac racks.) and probably about 8 inches higher than the roof on the highest notch. another cool thing is most of the thule accesories will work with the racks like the bike rack mounts, ski/snowboars holders. And the things for kayaks, J-bars? I think they are rated for 500 lbs but ive had alot more on there.

 

You can always do a back rack headache rack on the front and a hitch mount rack on the back for your kayak.

 

You'll never believe me but $180. I had a friend (and TW member - TheSloth) puck them up for me in NC.

 

http://www.orsracksdirect.com/thule-422xt-xsporter-truck-rack.html $566 here, shipping might be ridiculous for you tho. On thules website you can search for dealers and maybe avoid shipping

 

I need to pick up one of these for my bed.

 

Thats a sweet deal, my buddy picked up a set never used at a swap meet for 300 about a month after i got mine i was pissed

 

I got my tracrac from lowes for $299 about 3 weeks ago. Still awaiting my mount kit.

 

Of course I'm gonna say 422XT.......

 

Only complaints with the xsporter 422xt is you cant put them down all the way, and that they dont come in black. After i dechrome my truck thats ganna be the only shiny thing left haha, im tempted to black them out

 

guys, anyone know the part numbers of the brackets that hold it to the factory rails? I assume i also need those too correct? 422xt is what i am going to get, just need to know what other parts i need like kayak holder?

Will this work?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9ATBGGS00D4385

also need one for my MTN bike while i am buying shit

 

ready to work, so reply when you can..

 

and also does anyone know why when you do the fitment guide you cant get the 422 to come up? Also doesn't show what works with the 422....

 

Well I did it: Ending up ordering the Thule system:

Crazy 900 bucks to hold this Kayak

Btw this is the kayak we ending up getting...

 

Nice! Looks like you found the part for tacomas. You will be happy with it, and you dont hafta worry about rust which is probably bad up there.

 

Well, the kayak thing to makes it sit upright was a waste IMO. Why not just get long windsurfer pads that tie on and flip the kayak where the hull points up? Then you have something for boards and yak and not 99.00. Same straps hold boards or yak.....or fishing poles or lumber or ladder or pipes or whatever other long shit you may need to haul.

 

The Thule rack also comes with feet that you'll be able to adjust to cradle the sides of the hull and tie it down to them.

 

Nice rack

 

Just saw this on a show. Not sure if fits tacoma? Looks cool.

ya i saw one of these in person, they are nice, however they do rattal around a little when not in use, that would drive me crazy..

 

Do you have a part# for the screw from McMaster-Carr you were talking about? Just bought the TracRac G2 but haven't installed yet.
