Yakima Tracks installed on Bed Rails

Well it is official, I did it... Installed the yakima tracks on my bed, looks great and is solid as a rock!

 

Has anyone purchased the 4 wheel parts leveling kit from pro comp and the wheel and tire package? They offer it as a kit for taco's in the off roading mags. Curious if it is worth the $$.

 

Any up close shots of the tracks on the bed rails?

 

What're you planning on running on the rack? I've considered this to put a Yakima box back there for fishing rods etc.

 

I’m only running two bikes and in the winter a ski rack.

 

Im on the fence about this route. Looking to add this system to mount my rooftop tent and keep my bakflip tonneau cover. Do you think it is strong enough for a rooftop tent? Are they self tapping screws that held the rails in place to the bed?

 

I wouldn’t use self tapping on the roof, it the Tacoma does not have mounting capability use the method recommended from yakima to mount to a bare roof. Look up your year and the site will tell you what to buy. I think they’ll tell you to use the plusnut system, which I did for the rail mount.

 

Looks awesome! What was there a specific part # for those tracks?

 

I purchased the leveling Kit. Looks awesome on the truck. Wheels and tires I purchased through a local shop that installed the kit and did all the work.

 

Not sure but I do know it was the 54” track

 

how many holes did you need to drill? does it feel sturdy enough to mount a rtt?

 

I did 7-8 per side and it is like a rock! If you are going to do that you will need to order an extra set of plusnuts and screws.

 

Looking into this as an option, any info would be appreciated.

 

I used the standard Yakima tracks and the naked roof application to the rails. Drilled the holes, filled them with silicone and that's it.

 

Roger that, appreciate the feedback and response.

 

I know this is an old thread. But using the plus nuts on the plastic and sheet metal did yoj have any problems securing the nut? I talked to a rack dealer in town and they said it wouldn't work
