The All-New UpTop Overland Zulu rack for 2022+ Tundras

Just picked up my truck from @upTOPoverland today. I was lucky enough to secure the prototype Zulu rack system they will be releasing soon. I had their Alpha rack in my Tacoma. I actually switched from a competitor because of the significantly higher build quality, strength, minimal to no wind noise, and the fact that every time I called for accessories or questions, an actual person picked up and helped out without hesitation.

This rack is an all-new design but still has obvious UpTop design cues and feeling. Like the alpha, I had on my Tacoma, it is super clean, has decent width to the load bars, and the side armor extends down to keep it from looking like a “hi-top toupee” that some other roof rack makers put out.

As stated, side armor and load bar mounts have been redesigned along with the grab handles and light bar fairing. Like the Alpha/Bravo Series, there are optional knockouts for scene pods (seen here with the new R4T version) and I’m told there will be an option for color-matched powder coating on the side armor.

Even though the rack looks low, the moon roof window slides completely back with 2-3 inches to spare and the tilt lifts without clearance issues.

This is the pre-production version. It is made of a powder coated aluminum there was talk of a powder coated steel version but I’m not sure if the final product version will be steel only or it will be offered as an option.

Cheers!
