Let’s talk about how you can turbocharge your truck's storage with MELIPRON’s aftermarket solutions. From roof racks to racks for trucks, chase racks, and truck roll bar, the possibilities are endless.

Bed Racks and Roof Racks: Elevated Storage

Traditional Tacoma bed rack made from lightweight yet sturdy aluminum are your go-to for carrying large items like bikes, skis, kayaks, ladders, and cargo boxes. They’re easy to install, requiring no drilling, and can be mounted on factory rails or with door frame clamps if your Tacoma lacks OEM rails. Need a kayak rack for truck adventures? Roof racks have got you covered.

 

Some systems feature grooved rails for adjustable positioning, while others are basic but budget-friendly. For securing smaller items, consider adding a rooftop basket. These baskets offer raised edges for extra security, perfect for fuel cans, spare tires, or shovels. Combine them with cargo nets and straps, and you’ve got a versatile storage solution that frees up your truck bed.

Rear Cargo: The Ultimate Cargo Solution

If you prefer not to load up your roof, a truck bed rack provides convenient rear-mounted storage. Utilizing the hitch receiver, these racks can carry heavier loads than roof racks. Most bed racks are universal and feature basket designs with raised edges for stability. Some models stay upright, while others fold when not in use.

Constructed from low-carbon steel with a rust-resistant powder coat, the toyota tacoma bed rack is ideal for bikes, ATVs, grills, coolers, and more. They’re the perfect companion for those heavy-duty hauling needs. Whether you’re looking for a Tacoma bed rack or a general truck bed rack, MELIPRON has options that suit your needs.

Chase Racks: Rugged and Ready

Chase racks not only enhance your Tacoma’s rugged look but are also fantastic for off-road adventures, providing a spot to mount full-sized spare tires. They function similarly to a truck roll bar and are great for auxiliary lighting. Combine a chase rack with a roof rack for ultimate versatility.

Roll Bar for Truck: Safety and Style

A roll bar for truck, primarily designed for safety, protects your cabin during a rollover. They also offer mounting points for lights and can secure some cargo. Though they’re not meant for heavy loads, roller bars add a layer of safety and style to your Tacoma.

Making the Choice: Roof Rack vs. Bed Rack

Deciding between a roof rack and a chase rack? Consider your truck’s purpose. Roof racks are ideal for long trips, camping, or overlanding, where extra storage is crucial. Bed racks are perfect for short, rugged off-road adventures. Combine both for a setup that’s versatile and ready for any challenge.

For installing a Toyota Tacoma bed rack or roller bars, follow these steps:

1. Ensure all components are present.
