XRXS Bed Crossbars - Ready to Ship

Thanks, that is what I meant; XRXS = Extra Rigid, Extra Strong, with factory tonneau.
Another question. Can they be flipped over while on the rails without removal (I want to mount a couple accessories, but then can't close the tonneau; if I could rotate the bar 180 degrees by loosening the cleats, then it would work).

 

I never tried flipping them, but I can't see why you couldn't.

 

For similar purpose, to hold heavy stuff in place, would you recommend XRXS or Cross bars? https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/heavy-duty-bed-cross-bars-ready-to-ship.408986/

 

XRXS are the best for that application.

 

Just ordered a set. Quick question...once mounted to cleats.. Can the bar be easily removed by rotating 90degrees and sliding one end out of the track?.. Hard to explain..

Now I need to order more overpriced cleats..I blame you..

Great design. I plan on making kayak carriers so I can still use the bed for camping gear.

 

Yep, they can pop right out.

Post pics of your kayak setup when it's ready.

 

Will do, but it may be a while.

Do I get a tracking number with the cheapest shipping option?

 

Yes sir. But try Priority. It should be the cheapest for you.

 

Can you make these to fit a 2016 tundra? These are awesome.

 

The Tundra cleats don't have screw holes. I can't expect people to drill holes in their cleats, so I pretty much abandoned the idea of making for the Tundra.

 

Well that was a quick response. Thank you!

Will the taco cleats not fit the tundra rail system? I'll drill I'll drill I'll drill! I just need the right length and I can fabricate it to a set of cleats (oem or aftermarket).

 

If I thought there would be enough demand from Tundra owners, I'd make a batch. Fact is, I would probably end up sitting on them.

 

Very cool! Received mine and put it in. More substantial than I expected..I sat in the center( worst case, concentrated center load 165lbs, probably shouldn't ever do it) and had minimal flex. I have no doubt these will carry 3 kayaks without issue.

Still a little awkward sliding the whole bar from front to rear but no more than try to move a standalone cleat.

VooDoo, 2 ends of mine had chipped the powder coat, maybe from shipping. Not much 1/4 inch. I will coat them and forget about it but thought you should know in case theres a trend.. I'm sure this isn't the case with all of them. Great Product!

I would recommend, if the slot distances from each other is arbitrary.. Maybe space them to the width of roof rack attachments on future designs. They are barely off so I will drill.

 

Installed and drilled to mount my kayak carriers. Also put grip tape in various locations. Will post loaded pictures once I use them.



Still lets me mount my mtb bikes too!



Kayaks

 

What size head is on the bolt (& nut) for the hardware that comes with them?

 

It's a 3/16" allen.

 

what is the measure of the kayaks ?

 

These were 9.5' kayaks. Rear cross bar was in furthest rear track slot (on longbed). Front crossbar was about 24ins away/forward.

I have stacked 4 kayaks on these with no issues but no promises. Your limiting factor is the cleats and rails.

 

Those are the factory Toyota TRD bronze beed lock wheels with the faux beed lock removed. You can order them here:
