Yakima OutPost HD Truck Rack
"Vehicle rack-maker Yakima is going after overland adventurers with a slew of new products to help travelers haul rooftop tents and off-road accessories. The OutPost HD truck rack provides a low center of gravity, easy accessibility to gear, and an ideal platform for a rooftop tent. Available in Spring 2019 for $500."

The Overhaul HD rack looks interesting.

 

About time.

 

I'm looking to do this with the Yakima rack:


Anyone using this rack yet? Reviews?

 

Did you render this pic?

I got mine last month. Waiting to outfit it and maybe add a RTT.

 

I did! I wanted to see how it would look more or less, and also I'm playing with the idea of having the tent to the side and maybe a cargo box on the other side. I think is interesting how you can have wide bars.

 

Hey I have a question for you. Can the rear bar go all the way back on the bed? Or where you have it is the limit?

 

I'm at the limit using the Toyota adapter bar, but it can go a little further. I bought the rail system adapter kit, and for some reason the Tacoma adapters are a long, single piece, as opposed to Nissan's two-piece adapters. I've just been lazy and haven't changed them out, as the Nissan adapters physically fit in the Toyota rail. The only drawback is that you can only use one of the mounting bolts when the rack is that far back, but I have no worries that it is not secure enough.

Edit/Correction: the Nissan plates do not fit. Working on an alternative solution.

 

I'm currently using their original Bedrock system with the 55" roundbars for my Medium Yakima Skyrise RTT. I hate this setup, but it was the only option they had at the time. I literally have to put notched 2x4's below the crossbars to support the middle from sagging while using the tent. I was excited to see that they were releasing the Heavy Duty version of their mounts and bars but laughed when I looked at the price tag. $1080 for the entire setup just seems like way too much for me personally. I ended up going with the BAMF Expo Bed Bars and side panels for $340.

 

whats the black piss jug looking thing

 

looks like a waterport

 

Here are the front and rear limits. Had to get tricky with the rail mounting kit, but it worked just fine.

 

Loving your wheels tho! Sorry offtopic, any lift or rubbing with that wheel set up?!

Thanks!

 

Relations Race Wheels RR4-V, 17x9, 0 Offset, with General Grabber ATXs, P265/70R17. No lift, no rubbing at all. Best wheel/tire combo I've ever owned.

 

That look great! Thanks

 

The rack looks nice and rugged! Any one with a long bed have this rack?

 

I've got the Overhaul HD and adapters on order for my 2019 Tacoma TRD Sport, and was wondering about preventing theft of the rack. As far as I can tell, you can't lock them with the Yakima SKS cores. Any ideas on preventing theft?

Thanks.

 

When you figure out the answer, and get it all mounted up, please take a ton of pics and post them here.
