Inno Truck Bed Cargo Rack - Standard Beds - Mid-Size Trucks

Video Transcript for Inno Feet For Standard Truck Bed Rails Review

Today we will be taking a look at the Inno Truck Stay System. Part number INRT101. This is for standard truck beds. The Inno Truck Bed Stays are a great item to have to really maximize the cargo space on your pickup. They allow you to install crossbars above your bed, which then allows you to install items such as, bike racks, cargo carriers, kayak carriers, really freeing up your bed for other items. So, if this was a camping trip for example, you could have all your sleeping bags, tents down in the bed and all of your additional fun accessories here on top. The Inno Truck Bed Stays are designed to clamp to the side channel of your pick up bed.

There is no drilling required. They simply just tighten on. They are going to work with most any style of pick up bed. You will just need to purchase the crossbars separately to fit your particular bed. They do work with round or square crossbars.

The stays themselves are made of a sturdy metal construction. They are going to resist corrosion. The system itself comes with a rubber coated plate that goes between the stay and the side of your pickup to reduce the risk of any damage. The clamps feature an ergonomically designed plastic lever, that is going to make tightening it very easy. They also have a nice finger hold here.

It is going to help you get maximum torque. Now that we have gone over some features of the Truck Stay System, I will go ahead and show you how to get it installed. You are going to need to provide your own crossbars. You will want to keep in mind that the bars themselves need to be at least 5 1/2 inches greater than the width of the inside of your truck. So, the first thing that I am going to do is take a measurement here. From inside to inside of our truck bed here today, we are working with 63 inches here.

We want to make sure that the cross rails that we are using are 5 1/2 inches greater than that. Take a measurement of our cross rails here. Our cross rails here that we are working with today are 78 1/2 inches. We should have no issue getting this installed. Now, this is a virtually tool-free installation. The only tool you are going to need, Inno provides. That is this little Allen wrench. The first step is to take our plate and we are going to just slide it here, on our bed rail. That plate is really nice. It is going to keep your bed rail protected. Second step is we are going to take our stay, loosen it up all the way, and this stay is actually just going to clamp on the underside. So, then we can just take this lever down here and we will actually begin by twisting it. That is going to raise this portion to the underside of our bed and clamp it into place. We will want to get close but not all the way. This lever is actually a Cam lever so, when we flip it, it is going to provide that final tightening. We will tighten this. Once we feel like it is starting to get close, give it one final turn and then flip this up and it is going to lock our stay into place. To make sure that our crossbars are even once they are installed, we are going to want to take a measurement. We will go from the edge of this stay to the edge of our bed. We are going to want to repeat that measurement on the opposite side. Looks like we are working with about 13 inches here. So here on the passenger side I am going to measure out 13 inches. That is where I am going to set my plate into place. We are just going to repeat that same process with our clamp over here. Set it into place, tighten it down. With both our stays in place we are ready to insert our bar. Just going to use the included Allen bolt to loosen these nuts. That is going to allow us to open up the top of the stay. Now we can set our bar into place. Before we tighten it back down, we are going to want to make sure we have even bar overhang. So, we can slide our bar into place, just take a quick measurement. It looks like we have about 7 inches on each side, so we are good to go. So, we will just go ahead and put our bolts back into place and that is going to clamp down on the bars, insuring a tight fit. Just repeat this process on our other stay. Now to install our second bar, we are going to want to determine the length we want between our bars. A lot of times that may very depending on which accessories you may be using. Once you have determined that particular length, you will take a measurement from the first stay and go out to that length. Today we are going to go with 30 inches. We are just going to repeat that same process to get our second set of bars installed. With both of our bars installed, we are ready to load up some sweet accessories and hit the road. That is going to complete our look at the Inno Truck Bed Stay System. Part number INRT101.
