The pilot test for our T-slot bases was a success! Install your bed rack on the T-slot channel of your cover.

Sorry for the delay. Yes thats The truck and rack that started the thread. Its been great, the rack is mounted to my Roll n Lock and was solid though the mountain’s in a snow storm and off roading in Moab. About 500 miles on it since with a 200 lb tent on the back with no issues on the rack or cover. (Haven’t slept in it yet,) So far so good.

Great, thanks!

Is that rack available for purchase on the Tuwa Pro website?

I thought so when I bought it. I didn’t know it at the time, it was a prototype, just thought it was one of the first ones

That is the one with the standard bases! The one with the T-slot bases will be available within the next two weeks! And yes, as long as your cover has T-slot rails it will work with no extra accessories required.

Thank you
Agreed.

This post from 3/11/24 tells me it’s not yet available…

Rack arrived and installed. 8 t-bolts (2 per leg) hold the rack in place. It’s super solid and well built.

My BAK Revolver X4s rolls up without issue, with the rubber lightly brushing the front legs when the roll gets bigger.

I added the 4CX ROOF/SIDE BARS to complete the package. I’m pretty happy. 👍

I might add the width is pretty well fixed because of alignment with the t-slots. You can see the bolt holes are also slotted giving probably +- 1/2”?

The length is quite adjustable, but won’t go much shorter than I have it due to the side rails. I could go as long as the whole bed length… currently guessing what will work best.

I added the 4CX Roof Bars to tie the front and back together and provide a more rigid platform. Those can be moved in/out to a variety of locations.

Installation was easy, but there are a lot of bolts to tighten with your torx T40!

Yes, sir, was the same for mine. I moved my crossbars out farther. Now I need to move them back in a little bit to sit with underneath the tent. I’m also having a special bracket made to mount the weBoost antenna
