Question:

Is this system compatible with the Retrax XR Rolling bed cover with the tracks build into the side rails? If Im looking at it correctly it looks like I could order this system and essentially throw out the rails provided then just slide the legs into my Retrax rails. Ive attached a link to the Retrax website if needed and a picture of the rail system Im referring to. Thanks,

What you can do is simply piece together the system (without the rails) using the Quick Mount Legs # RRRLT600 and a set of Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars, such as the the 54" # RRVA137B-2 that come included with the system you were looking at, although I think these will be a bit too short to span the width of your Tundra's bed.

We actually do have Retrax-specific kits available for longer crossbars, which is what I recommend instead. For 65" Vortex Crossbars you can use part # RRVA165B-RRRLT600 or for 71" bars you can use # RRVA180B-RRRLT600. Both kits consist of simply the necessary mounting feet to attach to the Retrax XR channels and the compatible Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbars (no unneeded rails to find a spot for in the garage or your neighborhood's online marketplace).

I have attached a short video review that you can check out as well.
