Video Transcript for Yakima OverHaul HD Truck Bed Rack Uprights with Tonneau Kit Feature Review

Hey, everyone. It's Evangeline here at etrailer.com And today, we are looking at the Yakima OverHaul HD truck bed upright with a tonneau cover kit here at etrailer.com. These uprights work with the Yakima HD bars and the tonneau cover which are not included. If you have a tonneau cover, or if you wanna add a tonneau cover to your vehicle, but you also want a ladder rack, these are great options because these mount into the T-track channels on your tonneau cover. So, make sure you have that channel right there, so that you can mount through these ladder racks to it. This works with Pace Edwards, RetraxPRO, and really any other tonneau cover that has those channels.

If you already have a Yakima OverHaul HD or an OutPost, you can get this adapter kit to adapt your ladder rack to your tonneau cover. This allows you to mount it in the channels, and replaces the quick release system that your other ladder rack system may have. The uprights themselves have a lot of features. One, you can lock them. So, I have this on lock.

And if you want to just take off the entire system, you can take off the lock. And then, loosen your bolts and take off this ladder rack quickly and completely. Another thing is that this is made of a sturdy aluminum construction with this nice matte black finish. So, it's actually a lot lighter than I expected, but it's also, super sturdy. These are the OverHaul HD uprights, so that means they can adjust up and down.

They also have markings in the back which helps you as you adjust them. Now, if you want something that is fixed, you can also get the OutPost HD instead of the OverHaul. It's really just up to you on what's the best application for your adventures, as well as your truck. On the inside, you have these integrated tie down points. And it's really strong.

It's a very sturdy. But a nice little feature that they added is how it has a bottle opener here at the bottom. For you Yakima fans out there, these work with your same key system. So, if you have Yakima accessories that use a certain key, you can switch out your lock core, so that you can use the same key for all of your Yakima accessories. With the OverHaul HD system, you have a 300 pound weight capacity if you're driving on-road. Now for you my friends that like to go off-road or off-roading, you do have 180 weight capacity when you do so. So, just keep that in mind. When you slide tonneau cover, see how the cover fits underneath and doesn't interfere with your ladder rack system. The OverHaul HD can be adjusted up and down. Now the measurement starts from the top of your tonneau cover or the top of your rails, wherever they are on your tonneau cover. So, the lowest it can be is 19 inches which is about here. And the tallest is 30 inches from the top of your rails. So, we'll take some measurements and it is, we have an overhang of 12 inches on the side. And these bars are about 40 inches apart. And you can get up to 52 inches for your crossbar spread. This is here on a five foot bed on our Tacoma. But if you have longer beds, you can get it further apart. Just note that the minimum crossbar distance for this system is 36 inches. With these uprights, you do have some points here where you can install sidebar rails. So, if you wanna attach accessories that attach straight to the uprights, this is where you can put them. As for how this works with your tonneau cover. I'll take some measurements of the channels. Now, this sits measuring from the center of the channel to the end of the base, it's 2 1/2 inches. My final thoughts about this whole system is I think it works really well with tonneau covers, especially ones that have these T-track channels. At first, you might not be sure because it's only these channels that they're mounting to. But the way that everything works together, it's very sturdy and it's very easy to install. One thing I love about it too is how you can adjust it up and down. So, if you have different trucks of different shapes and sizes, you can find the best fit for your vehicle. All in all, it's a great system. It works really well with your covers. Just make sure that you find the right one to match your truck.
