    Has anyone with a 22-24 Tundra wrapped the very top of the truck to match the gloss black front pillars similar to some of the tacomas?

    I saw a fully wrapped cab (was a white truck with gloss black cab) but this wrap leaves the rear most pillar in the body color…have not found an actual example yet.

    If you notice from this Tacoma pic attached you can see the line where the wrap ends..the rear pillar stays the body color.

    Or are you looking for one that has the C-Pillar wrapped also? I decided to not wrap the C-Pillar also because the cut off line would have looked odd in my opinion.

    Yessir!!! That is it, happy with it? I use my truck a lot with lumber and for play w sports / kids gear / bikes.

    I’ll prob rack the top and trying to find solution that I can quick detach racks to my diamondback SE. my thought was to find billet aluminum tie downs and fab up or find racks that slip down into the tie down points and secure to cover - still working on it but love how many modular solutions out there now…

    Love to hear any details about process if willing to share, and thanks for such a quick reply / upload.

    The main use for the bed rack was for my roof top tent. If I need to transport something that would require a rack I'll just use my 08 Tundra. I wanted something that would be able to be raised and lowered along with being easily removeable. At 6'3" tall I wanted to be able to walk under the roof top tent when it was open without having to bend over. In the pics the rack is at it's lowest position and I was able to walk under it with no problem. I wanted it to be easily removeable from the truck so I could go to the car wash. The place I go to does not allow any aftermarket roof racks on truck beds. The rack is easy to remove, just remove 12 nutsz
    The rack mounts to the tonneau cover using the built in T-slots in the tonneau cover. Both were easy to install and the manufacturer of the tonneau cover was great. It had some cosmetic damage when it arrived and they gave me a $150 refund or they would have sent me new pieces. I opted for the money back which was in the form of a credit with Amazon.
    The rack has a better weight rating than the Elevate rack that Real Truck sells. Mine carries 800 pounds on road and 500 off road. Elevate carries 750 static (not moving) 500 on road and 250 off road. Would I ever be carrying that much weight on an overhead rack, probably not.

    The tonneau cover is comparable to Real Trucks Retrax Pro MX with T-slot rails but costs half the price. The Retrax only shows one lock, mine has one on each side. The Elevate rack is $850, Amazon lists mine for $589. I'd almost bet that Black Friday will bring better prices on both. I say this because I got them both on Amazon Prime day for considerable less than the current price.

    There are 2 drawbacks to the rack, one cosmetic, the other structural. The cosmetic problem with the rack and the tonneau cover I bought is that when you bolt on the supports that mount to the t-slots the outer edge hangs over the angled rail on the tonneau cover. If the tonneau cover rail system didn't have the angled edge and it was a straight 90* it would have matched fine.
    This is not a pic of my truck, it's one from the Amazon ad. As you can see it overhangs the angled side of the tonneau T-slot rail. I don't see a workaround to make it match. You could cut the mount down to match the T-slot rail but the welds on the uprights would be cut into. It's one of those things that could be a make it or break it, for me I wasn't concerned with it.
    The second thing it needed was new t-slot bolts. The ones supplied were M6 in size and just didn't seem like they would be strong enough. I upgraded them to stainless M8 which fit better than the supplied M6.
