The trail rail adaptor for the Tacoma fits. The gas cap comes in a little on the driver side into the bed. You will have to trim, or just place the bracket slightly back. I have the Yakima HD Outpost and works great. You will have to remove the rail system from the truck bed to slide the bracket bars in, but works just fine.
2016+ Tacoma mounts work with slight modification.
So you remove the rails and then put them back on? or do you have to actually remove the rails permanently. I was looking at this outpost hd system and it looks pretty great!
Take the rails off, slide the Tacoma bracket bar in and then reinstall the bed rails to the truck bed. The Yakima rack then bolts into the Tacoma adapter rail.
So I called Yakima and they said their outpost HD requires you to remove the rails and they won't go back on. Are they wrong?
Yakima doesn’t have an adaptor labeled for the gladiator. The Tacoma rail adaptor lets you keep the rail on. However, it does take up a lot of space on the rail.
I’ve thought about cutting the bracket in two and taking out some of the wasted space. Haven’t gotten around to it yet though.
A bit of a distance shot, but here it is with rack, tent, and awning installed.
Yes and no,, you can take the rails off and use the C-clamps that are included with the Outpost or you can do it as explained above with additional hardware made for the Tacoma. I did the install with the Tacoma bracket but in hindsight I'd skip the extra $$ for the Tacoma adapters and remove the rails when I'm running with my tent. The double brackets on each leg of the Outpost takes up most of the rail anyhow rendering it kinda useless..

What awning are you running and how did you attach it to the crossbars?A bit of a distance shot, but here it is with rack, tent, and awning installed.
The backing nuts that are included are actually a long bar with the threads in each end. You cannot install it into the trail rail without unbolting the trail rail to gain clearance. You could probably cut the bar But I did not bother to see if it would’ve made it possible to R&R without unbolting the trail rail.
Running the Yakima awning. It has the same mounting system as their tent. Just clamps that open and tighten on.
