Just switched from Bakflip tonneau cover to Retraxpro XR so I can install a RTT and still access my truck bed on my Tacoma. Saw your video and looked perfect for my needs. However, when I went to BillieBar web site I couldn’t find any products that use T-slot systems. BillieBar. Doesn’t provide a customer service phonetic number so had to email them and waiting for a reply. In the meantime, how’d you find that rack?
The rack is super strong and has served me well so far. Better than what I expected. It’s modular and you can put almost any mount on it with either the molle panels or the crossbar slots themselves. Check out my Instagram @cemento.Yoda for pictures of how I have mine setup. I’ll be adding more videos and pictures in the future as well.
It’s a solid bed rack and solid bed cover. Handles the weight like nothing, and the fact that it’s a lot profile bed rack doesn’t add wind resistance to the truck.
@@jgm113 i haven’t gotten any rattles in the year and half or so time that I’ve had it. But you can always retighten anything in case it were to happen. I usually loctite everything when installing too so it just helps.
@@jgm113 best thing about this set up is that it’s easy to take off the bedrack whenever you need your truck bed or just for the season. I have mine off right now.
The weight rating on the BillieBars is going to be way higher than the actual covers can handle. The weight rating on a lot of the retractable covers like my Retrax XR, per each company, is about 600-700lbs static, and 300-400lbs dynamic. Enough for a rooftop tent, gas cans, recovery equipment, and really anything you would need when out adventuring. They have all sorts of accessories to mount bikes, kayaks, cargo boxes and a bunch of other things you could possibly want.
@@edgarmartinez1512 this one is not the pro, the pro is the battery powered cover that opens and closes with a button. I opted for the manual one since I go off-road and the bed shakes around a lot to where I didn’t want to risk breaking any of the wiring or electronic parts.
@@DirtRoad_Chronicles so I got the same cover for my 2022 tundra do they make the same bed rack that you have on your Tacoma for the tundra? I like your set up
@@edgarmartinez1512 yes they do, go on their website, billiebars, and use the drop down menu and look for retractable covers with t slots bed rack. And you’ll see the tundra option there.
Sick set up pri!!!
Thank you brother
Great video! I’ve been thinking about getting this cover for my Tacoma. Curious how much room is left from bottom of canister to the bed floor?
There’s about 6-8” of space left under the canister.

They have t slot bed racks specific to your truck. What truck do you have? You can also contact them through Instagram.

what tires and rims an offset are you rocking? Did u need to do a cmc or any cutting?
There’s no way around a CMC when going with a bigger size tire. It’s a must. 285/75/17 on about a -38 offset
How has this held up with the weight of a tent and everything else?
It’s a solid bed rack and solid bed cover. Handles the weight like nothing, and the fact that it’s a lot profile bed rack doesn’t add wind resistance to the truck.
@@DirtRoad_Chronicles I'm thinking about doing this exact setup. Do you ever get any rattles from the cover?

What's the dynamic and static limits?
