Toyota Tacoma (2005+) Overland Bed Rack

Backwoods Full-Height Bed Rack for Toyota Tacoma

Turn your Toyota Tacoma into a more capable adventure platform with the Backwoods Adventure Mods Full-Height Bed Rack. Designed for short-bed 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Gen Tacomas, this lightweight aluminum rack provides a versatile foundation for rooftop tents, bikes, kayaks, storage boxes, traction boards, awnings, recovery gear, and other overland equipment.

The rack sits flush with the Tacoma's cab for a clean, full-height profile and features modular accessory rails, C-channel crossbars, and an optional DRIFTR Topper that expands the rack into an even more configurable cargo platform.

Whether you're building a weekend camping setup or a fully equipped overland Tacoma, this rack gives you the flexibility to configure your truck around the gear you actually carry.

Built for Rooftop Tents & Adventure Gear

The Backwoods Tacoma Bed Rack creates additional cargo space above the truck bed, allowing you to carry larger equipment without sacrificing valuable storage space below.

Configure your rack for:

• Rooftop tents
• Mountain bikes
• Kayaks
• Storage boxes
• Traction boards
• Awnings
• Recovery equipment
• Camping gear
• Overland accessories
• Other compatible adventure equipment

Keeping equipment above and along the sides of the bed leaves more room below for coolers, totes, tools, camping supplies, and additional cargo.

Lightweight All-Aluminum Construction

A full-height bed rack doesn't need to add excessive weight to your Tacoma.

The rack features all-aluminum construction for an excellent combination of strength, durability, and reduced weight. Without the optional DRIFTR Topper, the complete rack weighs approximately 45 lbs.

A black powder-coated finish is included, giving the rack a clean, rugged appearance while providing additional protection from everyday use and exposure to the elements.

Four Modular Side Accessory Rails

Four modular side accessory rails provide additional mounting locations for your gear.

Instead of limiting accessories to the top of the rack, these side rails let you utilize the vertical space around the bed for compatible storage boxes, traction boards, recovery gear, tools, and other accessories.

The modular design makes it easy to adjust your setup as your needs change.

C-Channel Crossbars

Top C-channel crossbars add lateral strength while providing a versatile mounting platform for rooftop tents and other compatible equipment.

The channel design gives you flexibility when positioning accessories and allows the rack to serve as the foundation for everything from a simple cargo setup to a complete overland build.

Optional DRIFTR Topper

Take the Tacoma Bed Rack even further with the optional DRIFTR Topper.

The Topper bolts directly to the bed rack and adds approximately 4" of height, bringing many of the features of the Backwoods DRIFTR Roof Rack to the top of your bed rack.

The optional DRIFTR Topper includes:

• Triple-slotted 1x3 aluminum extrusions
• Heavy-duty 1/4" aluminum side rails
• Adjustable extrusion positioning
• Compatibility with Universal Accessory Deck Panels
• Side handle cutouts for compatible grab handles
• Additional mounting flexibility for cargo and accessories

Important: The DRIFTR Topper shown in product photos is not included with the standard bed rack and must be purchased separately.

Create a Full-Length Flat Platform

Pair the Tacoma Bed Rack and optional DRIFTR Topper with a compatible Backwoods Tacoma DRIFTR Roof Rack to create a flat cargo platform extending from the cab toward the rear of the truck.

This setup dramatically expands your available mounting area and creates additional possibilities for longer cargo, adventure equipment, and customized overland configurations.

Flush With the Tacoma Cab

The standard Full-Height Bed Rack is designed to sit approximately flush with the Tacoma's cab.

This creates a clean profile while providing the height needed for larger accessories and cargo.

Adding the optional DRIFTR Topper increases the overall rack height by approximately 4 inches.

100% Bolt-On Installation

The Backwoods Tacoma Bed Rack features a 100% bolt-on assembly, eliminating the need for welding or custom fabrication.

Its modular construction also makes the rack more manageable during installation, allowing the system to be assembled directly on the truck.
