Bed Rack installed over a tonneau cover?

Is that a roll n lock cover on the bed ?

 

i love the "doors" hate trying to reach anything through my rci

 

Yeah the doors were not originally planned but once I mocked up the tracks and rotopax on the sides I knew that wasn't going to work!
I also plan on sliding cargo trays that slide out the side doors.

 

I just did this and tried to do a write up here: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/bedrack-with-tonneau-cover.488695/

Hopefully it helps some folks.

 

Nice truck....I like the set up.

 

This looks like just what I am looking for. How is the Voodoo rack working out? What kind of tent did you buy? Thanks!

 

It's working great. I've actually replaced that with the Voodoo mid-high now so I could use my tent's extra "room" for a private area to put my porta potty. It also worked out great for mounting my high lift jack and shovel. I went with a CVT Mount Bachelor while the group buy was going on for them. Got it at a nice discount. I've used it 6 times already and I'm pretty happy with it.

I have in mind to do something like this...

Get a BAK Revolver tonneau cover, and then rails to mount a RTT to. I'd only want the rails and RTT mounted when I'm doing a trip or something, but I think the roll up nature of the BAK Revolver would make it really easy to get access to the full length of the bed. Plus I've read another member here used a simple bed tent and had no problems with the Revolver rolled open all the way.

For now I have elcheapo Amazon tonneau cover and it does the job. Eventually......

 

Can you fold the stock tonneau cover with the voodoo mid height that you got?

 

The cover can't be folded with our Tacoma rack.

We do have a new rack that allows a cover to be fully folded: http://www.kbvoodoo.com/shop/utility-rack-for-tonneau-covers

 

How did you mount the sun seeker awning between the RCI Rack and the rooftop tent? I have the same but trying to figure out how to add it. It almost looks like there is a rack between the RCI and tent? Thanks!

 

I'm going to make some long L brackets and mount mine to the RCI rack. Probably the easiest and cheapest way.

 

I figured I would revive this thread. I am moving to a Diamondback bed cover. I will use the cover as my base for the RTT. I will mount a track system to the cover and add a rack (that has some height) to allow me to mount two full spares in between the cover and the RTT. I am pretty stoked!

 

RCI rack with modified Access Vanish tonneau cover. If you are not afraid, it will take just a little cutting.

 

@ctfriel

We both have the same setup it looks like and I have been wanting to do the same fridge with slider, biggest thing was not knowing how high it makes the fridge sit. Thanks for posting, now I know it will work. Is that a 48” awning out the back? I have been looking at the 48” CVT awning and mounting it in the same location.

 

Will your cover roll up to expose the bed with this setup?

 

yes, it will....but it’s not directly roll up, it takes a little work and you have to do it at an angle.

 

how annoying is that to do? I rolled my cover up fairly often.

I’m coming from a Mobtown low pro rack that my roll up tonneau worked with perfectly. Got a package deal on a RTT and RCI bed rack and am trying that out for a bit but have lost my tonneau and it’s pretty important for me to have.

 

If you roll it up a lot....it can be a headache, I would take it all the way to the head of the bed and then roll it by hand. When you roll it back you have to do it at an angle. It takes it from 3 seconds to about 30-45 seconds to do.
