Contractors Rack

Anyone have this style contractors rack on their DC shortbed? Pictures? Any issues that I should be aware of before I pull the trigger? (noise, mileage, etc.)

 

Kargomaster?

 

Search "brand new and building ladder rack" that thread has some good discussion on ladder racks in general if not specifically this brand .

I am pretty sure I've talked to a member on here who has that exact rack .

 

I don't know what brand it is. (it is used) Owner says he bought it for his Short Box Colorado but then sold the truck. I was under the assumption that these racks are adjustable and not vehicle specific. I just want to see what this style rack would look like on my truck

 

That is a Kargomaster. They say it is not recommended for Tacoma.
The thread mentioned above covers a lot of ground and has some great ideas.

I was @ a place that sold and installed them and if you wanted them to install one of those,they wanted you to sign a waiver saying something to the fact that if this rack causes any stress cracks in your bed,we are not liable. I would look @ a Thuel adjustable rack.

I had one of these on my 2000 tacoma. It was made by a company called rack-it. It was very heavy but saved allot of time.

This is the guy I was thinking of , turns out his is a Rack-it as well and not a Kargomaster like I remembered .
