Features to know about

Customizable Setup for Every Adventure: Full-Height or Mid-Height Rack

The Kuat Ibex Customizable Overland Truck Bed Rack adapts to whatever you’re hauling. With uprights that install at full-height or mid-height, you can choose how your gear rides. Full-height opens up more space in the truck bed for bulky gear, while mid-height keeps everything within easy reach for quick access. Changing between setups is simple—just remove the crossbars, add or remove the middle upright section, and re-install. At full height, the rack measures 62-15/16" long x 19" tall, and in mid-height configuration it measures 62-15/16" long x 11-7/8" tall, so you can dial in the right setup for your trip.

Built for the Elements: Black Powder Coated Aluminum Construction

Made from lightweight aluminum with a black powder coated finish, the Ibex stands up to off-road use and rough weather. The ballistic black Tiger powder coat is corrosion resistant and designed to stay looking good season after season. At 74 lbs, the rack is strong without adding unnecessary weight, and it supports up to 300 lbs of gear for serious overlanding or work setups.

Mount More Gear: Integrated Channels Across the Rack

Every part of the Ibex is designed to carry more. The uprights, top rails, crossbars, and upper and lower bedrails feature integrated channels that accept channel-mount and clamp-on accessories. You can mount MOLLE panels, recovery boards, antenna brackets, shovels, or a Piston SR bike rack using Ibex adapters (sold separately). The top channel length of 49-11/16" gives you plenty of space to secure accessories or tie-downs right where you need them.

Adjustable Crossbars that Slide to Fit Your Load

The crossbars slide along the channels in the upper bedrails to match your gear’s crossbar spread. That means you can fine-tune the rack for anything from cargo baskets to fishing rod holders or rooftop tents. When you need to haul taller items in the bed, just slide the bars to either end to clear space. The bars’ 4" x 2" profile provides a stable platform for mounting T-bolt-compatible gear or accessories with the right adapters.

Quick Bolt-On Installation: No Drilling Required

Installation is straightforward with a bolt-on design that attaches to truck bed utility rails or bedrails using the included hardware—no drilling needed. For those using a tonneau cover with integrated T-slots, adapters (sold separately) let you mount the Ibex in top channels like those on Retrax or BAK systems. Once installed, you’ll have a solid, modular platform ready for hauling gear or heading deep into the backcountry.

The rack is awesome. Sturdy and very functional with a ton of options.

Very happy with this rack. I have used it for about 6 months now and it held up extremely well and looks awesome. I added a large molle panel on the passenger side and two small molle panels on the driver side. I added the front molle panel to protect the rear window and the crossbar risers.

What I like: Well built, high quality, looks awesome, lots of easy to install and remove accessories (it is like the Jeep of bed racks)

What I do not like: A few screws have backed out after about 6 months (use blue Loctite), the front of the rack does not match the contour of the top of the cab and creates a gap between the rack and the truck cab.

Overall, I'd buy this rack over and over again. I cannot wait until Kuat releases the hard panel kit to make this an enclosed bed topper.

  • Will Kuat Ibex Work With TS Rails On BAKflip MX4 Tonneau Cover?
    Hello Kyle, thanks for reaching out. Yes, the Kuat Ibex # KU29ZR will indeed work with the TS rails on the BAKflip MX4 cover. You will need to use the # KU27ZR adapter kit.

  • Will Kuat Ibex 2024 Chevy Colorado Ladder Rack Clear Cab for Roof Top Tent
    Hey Adam, thanks for reaching out! The Kuat Ibex Customizable Overland Truck Bed Rack # KU29ZR for your 2024 Chevy Colorado measures 62-15/16" long x 19" tall at the tallest setting. I'm not sure how this relates to the height of your Colorado cab, but you can measure from the top of your bed side rails to the top of your cab to see if this gives you the height you're wanting. If this isn't tall enough then I recommend checking out the Yakima OverHaul HD # Y01151-58 which can be adjusted...

  • Availability of Ladder Rack Compatible With Tri-Fold Tonneau Cover for 2024 Toyota Tacoma
    Hi Rusty; none of the available ladder racks for your 2024 Tacoma with a 5' bed can accommodate your tonneau cover. All of them mount inside the bed rails which would interfere with any tonneau cover design. The only way to have both is to install a tonneau cover like the Pace Edwards UltraGroove # 311-KRTA10A38. This has rails with integrated T-slots which would allow you to mount the TruXedo Elevate Rack # TX84NV. If you were wanting to use the Kuat Ibex Customizable Overland Truck Bed...

  • Can The Kuat Piston SR Bike Rack KU32VR Be Mounted On Both Sides Of The Ibex Truck Bed Rack?
    To start with, the Kuat Ibex Truck Bed Rack # KU36ZR is designed to fit a 2022 Toyota Tacoma with a 6 foot bed (with or without the Deck Rail System), so just double check your bed size to be sure. If you have the 5 foot bed, you will need the # KU29ZR as it is designed for the shorter bed (you would also need the shorter MOLLE panel # KU74ZR in this case). Next up, everything you mention will absolutely work together. The Piston Bike Rack Mount for Ibex Truck Bed Racks # KU67ZR will mount...

  • Can the 2024 Chevy Colorado Kuat Ibex Rack Be Used for a Roof Top Tent
    Absolutely! The Kuat Ibex Customizable Overland Truck Bed Rack # KU29ZR is a great option for carrying a roof top tent on your 2024 Chevy Colorado! The crossbars measure 4" x 2" which is a bit larger than normal crossbars so you'll need to ensure the mounting kit for your roof rack can either fit that crossbar size or it can mount via T-Bolts. For example, the Thule Basin Wedge Rooftop Tent and Cargo Box # TH92VY will fit these crossbars when you use the Ladder Rack Adapter Kit # THXADAPT14...

  • Can Kuat Ibex Rack Work Fit with BAKFlip Revolver
    Hey Tom, does your BAKFlip Revolver have the top channels for accessories to mount in? If so, yes the Kuat Ibex part # KU29ZR can fit but you would need to use the tonneau cover adapter kit part # KU27ZR.
