    Tried to find this information by searching the forums, but didn't see exactly what I'm looking for. I want to do a combination of a Tonneau Cover with Bed Rails (not sure if that's the correct term, but the ones that arch over the top of the bed) for my 2016 Tacoma TRD Off Road.

    Does this combination exist without getting custom rails made?

    Like this you mean? I got the bed rack from KB Voodoo along with his adapters to work with the factory tonneau cover. It works fine. The only complaint is I had to mount it at the front of the bed instead of the center. It's a glitch in the covers design. Not the rack.

    Thanks! That looks badass. The vision I had for the rails was just metal tubes with black powder coating, although the one you have has more versatility with all of the holes & slots.

    I'm guessing this should work with other brands of tonneau covers as well. How well does the cover seal? Any issues with leaks?

    I wish the metal that goes under the cover was thinner. It does let in a bit of dust. I can't speak for rain because I live in the desert and we don't know what rain is. I have my hi-lift jack and a shovel mounted on the rack now. With cable locks to keep them there. It's a pretty handy and well-made rack.
