It sounds like you need a ladder rack to match the height of your roof rack on your 2012 Toyota Tacoma. If this is not what you meant, let me know and I will be happy to help you get the right information.
While we don't have a way of knowing exactly what height you'll get out of each ladder rack, there is still a way to ensure you get the best fit possible. That is to use an adjustable ladder rack.
With an adjustable ladder rack, you'll be able to choose which setting best suits your needs depending on each situation, including the one with the Aquapod.
Of course, there are two different kinds of adjustable ladder rack depending on whether you have the Deck Rail System or not.
If you have the the Deck Rail System, then use the Yakima OverHaul HD Truck Bed Ladder Rack for Toyota/Nissan Utility Tracks, part # Y01151-5868.
If you do not, then use the Yakima OverHaul HD Adjustable Truck Bed Ladder Rack, part # Y01151-58.
I've linked to a video review of these ladder racks below.
