Kuat Ibex Overland Truck Bed Rack Panel Kit for Short Bed Tacoma

Video Transcript for Checking Out the Kuat Ibex Truck Bed Racks Customizable Molle Panels

Hello neighbors, it's Brad from etrailer and today we are at the Moore Overland Expo Show in Springfield, Missouri. And I'm with Craig from Kuat. And we're taking a look at the Ibex series. We have this whole system here on a Tacoma, but something's a little bit different than the normal Ibex that I'm used to. What do we got here today Yeah, so welcome. We have today we're showing our panel kit, which will be available with our Ibex system on this truck.

This is a third gen short bed Tacoma. So the kit will be available for the second and third gen short bed Tacoma to start. But this will click into your existing Ibex SKU so there's not another frame that you have to purchase. You can go ahead and get this system knowing that the all four doors in the roof will be compatible with that SKU. So this is, it's all aluminum is gastro operated, so the doors stay open, they're lockable.

So it's kind of a visual deterrent as well as actually has cores. None of the panels are load bearing. So I think one of the coolest features is that you're still able to keep that static weight of 1200 pounds on the crossbars. The riser kit is gonna be available too to bump the bars up so you can actually get underneath and attach and fix accessories on. So, but we hope to have this later this summer year for the second, third gen Tacoma short bed.

Brad So you get all the usability of the accessories up top, but you can still close everything up, keep it contained, you get the best ball worlds. Craig Yeah. And then really quick, like if one day too, if you wanna pop out this window and put in one of our molle panels or keep it open, it's really fast. It's like minutes to just click this system out and click in a molle panel Brad So you can custom fit it to your application Craig Right, so you're not always cap centric. You can always strip back down to the exoskeleton and reconfigure, you know, in any different, you know, application for whatever you want to use it for.

Brad It's definitely one of the coolest looking configurations like this, or one that I've never really seen. So walking by the booth, I was like, that's pretty sharp looking and it's Kuat. I personally have a Kuat bike rack and I handle a lot of Kuat products at etrailer. They're all fantastic. I'm not just saying that, 'cause Craig's here, they really are. There's a lot of love put into these. There's a lot of thought process coming from enthusiasts to really make an enthusiast product. And this is definitely one of those applications.
