RCI Bed Rack 1st Impression & Full Installation

We have been really trying to get the Tacoma ready for summer trips so the RCI bed rack was definitely a must.

We have the iKamper X-Cover RTT on the way so we definitely needed the bed rack to be installed and ready.

We have been extremely impressed with RCI Off Road products which is why we went with their bed rack. I am running the RCI transmission skid, transfer case skid, fuel tank skid, rear differential skids and lower control arm skids.

Nice. Been looking at their skid plate set up and looks like a great package. Done an oil change yet? Wondered if the access was good like the website says

 

do you leave the rack on 24/7?

 

great video, thanks for posting......let us know when you've got it loaded up

 

Love the setup! Keep up the YouTube channel!

 

I hear it's super easy but I have the TRD skid plate on and I have to take it off completely every time which makes me want to get the RCI one

 

Yessir! Just put it on last week and I don't plan on taking it off, it's pretty light and doesn't affect what I put in the bed yet.

 

Definitely will!

 

Thanks! Will do!

 

You guys planning on a video for the X-cover, saw LLOD did a brief one. I’m tempted to pre-order at that price.

 

Yeah actually, we have it on the way so we will do a review video for sure.

 

Oil change is easy wirh RCI skid. Access door is more than large enough.

 

I do my oil changes with the pro skid on, super easy stuff, only thing pushing me to get a RCI ifs skid is the fact that I dont like how the pro skid mates to the RCI transmission skid.

 

Just wondering how it worked out mounting the X-Cover to the RCI rack. I assume you had to use the 1.0 mounting brackets due to the size of the RCI support bars? Was curious because I'm picking up an X-Cover soon myself.

 

What’s the rear view vision like? I want this for my fishing rods, but don’t want to lose my rear view. Seems like it’s horribly placed. Also will never use it for a tent.

 

Anyone have or seen a picture of how the RCI Bed Rack Adapters (which allow you to use a BAK Revolver X4 tonneau with the rack) attach to the bed? I can find lots of photos of them, but none showing how they actually attach to the truck. I understand they don't utilize the stock bedrails anymore and need to be bolted to the bed. I'm interested in getting a BAK Revolver X4 tonneau cover, but I was hoping to still be able to remove the RCI Rack (and future RTT) when not needed just leaving a clean installation of the Revolver X4. I don't really want to leave the adapters sticking up after removing the rack and I don't really want to have to remove the tonneau to remove the adapters.

Just curious
