  • Which Ladder or Roof Rack Compatible with TruckHero TS Rails Can Support a Roof Tent
  • I recommend using the Yakima OverHaul HD Adjustable Truck Bed Ladder Rack for Tonneau Cover - 60" Crossbars # Y01151-5755, which has an 800-lbs static load limit and is compatible with the TS (T-Slot) Rails for Truck Hero Elevate Rack System. This is one of the most popular solutions for a rooftop tent and can be used with a tonneau cover and will look really great. For a rooftop tent you'll want to use one with a ladder that offers secondary weight support like the Yakima SkyRise HD...

  • Roof Rack for Roof Tent on a 2019 Ford F-450 Super Duty Crew Cab
  • While there are no roof racks that have a weight capacity of 400 lbs, I still believe we have a solution for your 2019 Ford F-450 Super Duty Crew Cab with the Yakima HD roof rack. This consists of the HD Crossbars # Y01157, BaseLine Towers # Y28TR, HD Bar SL Adapter # Y03541, and Fit Kit # Y06185. If you are looking to use a tent that has a 400 lb weight capacity like the Yakima SkyRise HD # Y07436 then you actually just need to make sure that the roof rack is rated for 165 lbs like the...

  • Recommended Ladder Rack and Tonneau Cover Combo for 2020 Jeep Gladiator
  • I have a solution for you, but the Track Mount RLTF Legs # RLTF you mentioned are not a fit in Truck Hero rails; additionally those rails are not designed to fit on your 2020 Jeep Gladiator. When it comes to compatible tonneau covers and ladder racks/cargo racks that will work on your 2020 Jeep Gladiator we've only found one combination that will work together. You will need a tonneau cover that mounts completely inside of the bed rails and does not stick up, and a ladder/cargo rack that...

  • Can I Add T-Track Rails To My Retrax Tonneau Cover That Does Not Have T-Tracks?
  • While you can't use the Replacement Side Rails for Retrax XR Series Hard Tonneau Covers # RTX39FR with your existing tonneau cover that does not have t-tracks, I do have a couple of other options that will work for you. If you don't mind upgrading your tonneau cover on your 2019 Ford F-150 Raptor, the RetraxONE XR Hard Tonneau Cover # RTT-60373 is a fantastic option and has the integrated t-tracks that you're looking for. Or If you're not interested in upgrading your tonneau cover, you...

  • Recommended Roof Rack System for Use with Rhino Rack Nautic Kayak Carrier
  • If you want to go with a roof rack, the Exposed Racks Roof Rack for Jeep JL, JLU, and Gladiator Hardtop - Square Bars - Steel - Black # ER77FR would work well with the Rhino Rack Nautic Roof Kayak Carrier # RR570. This would give you a nice setup to carry kayaks on the roof and this carrier is compatible with virtually all aftermarket roof rack systems including the square bars of the Exposed Racks. The other option I'll throw out there is going the truck bed rack route, which gives your...

  • Can The Thule Tepui Foothill Rooftop Tent Be Mounted To The Roof Of A 2019 Toyota Tacoma?
  • Yes you can use the Thule Tepui Foothill Rooftop Tent # TH37HJ, with a roof rack like the Thule WingBar Evo # TH711400, with the feet # TH710401, however if you have a slick top roof, this will not be a viable option. Instead, you're going to need to mount this to a ladder rack like the T-Rac Pro2 Ladder Rack for Toyota Tacoma # TH37005XT. You're also going to want to check the owner's manual for the maximum weight of your roof, and ensure you're not going to overload it, if you decide...

  • Wireless Air Compressor for Air Helper Springs in 2015 Toyota Tacoma
  • A great wireless compressor system to go with your Air Lift helper springs is the WirelessAIR # AL74000. You're able to control and monitor the psi in each bag wirelessly and can be set to automatically inflate if the air pressure drops to a preset level. It also allows you to adjust the springs independently to help keep your kids for rolling all over each other in the truck's bed.

  • Recommended Crossbars for Roof Top Tent on 2016 Ram 1500 with BAKFlip MX4 Tonneau
  • The Yakima BedRock HD Bars # Y01160-59 you referenced have a 300-lbs total capacity, not per bar; additionally it should be noted that when used for off road applications you'll be limited to 180-lbs total. The good thing about most crossbar mounted tent systems is that they're going to have a ladder system that will also support a lot of the weight, so you shouldn't have too much of an issue as long as you're under the weight limit of the tent. The issue is that if you've got a BAKFlip...

  • Recommended Over the Bed Rack System Compatible with a Retrax XR Tonneau on 2017 Toyota Tacoma
  • I recommend using the Yakima OverHaul HD Adjustable Truck Bed Ladder Rack # Y01151-58, which is designed to fit in the add-on rails of a Retrax tonneau cover when used with the Tonneau Adapter # Y01155. This is a great option that will allow you to carry skis, kayaks, bikes or a roof top tent and because of the adjustable height it will give you the low profile you're looking for. To carry skis, you'll want to use something like the Yakima FreshTrack 6 Ski and Snowboard Carrier - Locking...

  • Recommended Tonneau Cover and Ladder Rack System for 2013 Toyota Tacoma Short Bed
  • I have a solution for you, but there is not an Adarac Pro Series available for a 2013 Toyota Tacoma; additionally the combinations that will work together on your vehicle are extremely limited. Starting with the ladder rack, I recommend using the Yakima Overhaul HD # Y01151-58 because of the durable HD crossbars and the fact that it can be adjusted so that the bars sit parallel to your cab, or put them all the way down to the tonneau cover. This ladder rack uses strong HD bars that are...

  • Bed Mat That Works With Factory Installed Bedliner
  • The BedRug Custom Truck Bed Mat # BMQ15SCD will work with your factory bed liner on your 2018 Ford F-150. The BedRug mat offers a slip-resistant, cushioned surface for the floor of your truck bed that helps to protect whatever you haul. Rubber mats don't offer the same level of shock absorption and skid prevention for your load, and they can also crack and fade, suffering the wear and tear of normal use. BedRug mats stand up to heavy-duty use without the surface degrading. Furthermore,...

  • Can I Use D-Ring with Mounting Plate to Anchor a Truck Bed Camper
  • I can't advise you to use something like the # DR1S to anchor a truck bed camper in this case, but I do have a solution for you. While they may seem strong enough, they're not designed for this use and the stresses put on by a truck bed camper. The best way to anchor a truck bed camper on your 2015 Ram 3500 is to use proper truck bed camper anchor points like the # TLD2130 and # TLD3109, which are designed to fit the 6-1/2 Foot Bed - Single Rear Wheels - without board or step underneath...

  • How Does DeeZee Truck Bed Mat Stay in Truck Bed
  • The DeeZee Heavyweight Truck Bed Mat # DZ86985 has rubber cleats on the underside that keep it from moving around. Plus it is shaped to the contours of the bed. Then you factor in the weight (Nearly 40 pounds) so between those three things there really isn't a chance of wind getting under the mat and causing it to fly out of the bed while driving.

  • Can Reese Elite Sliding 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch be Used in a Long Bed Truck
  • The Reese Elite Sliding Fifth Wheel Hitch # RP30144 installs into an underbed rail kit that is custom to the specific truck. There are rail kits for the Elite that fit 8 foot beds but I'll need to know the year, make, and model of the truck to recommend the specific kit. Even though the sliding hitch you have is normally for short bed trucks it will be fine in a long bed. You likely won't need to engage the slider. The Reese Elite also fits directly into the Ford factory puck system....
