Custom Bed Racks Built by Real Overlander

We build bed racks because we actually use them. Our shop in the greater Cincinnati area tests every design on real trails before it goes to customers. When you're miles from cell service and need your overland bed rack to work, you want something built by people who've been there.

Bed Racks That Won't Quit on You

Our bed racks use 6061 aluminum with TIG welding that withstands trail abuse. We also build with chromoly tube when you need something bulletproof. Each rack is sized for your specific truck instead of generic "universal" measurements that don't fit well.

After testing different coatings in Kentucky weather, we stick with automotive finishes that look good after seasons of mud, rain, and sun, as well as paint jobs that match your truck (or whatever color you want).

What Goes Into Overland Bed Rack Construction

• Materials That Matter: We weld 6061 aluminum tubing because it's proven itself over thousands of trail miles. Chromoly tube handles even more punishment. All materials resist corrosion better than alternatives that rust after one muddy weekend.
• Custom Sizing: Each bed rack gets built for your exact truck model. Rooftop tent mounts go where they belong, not where it's convenient to weld. Tie-down points are positioned where you load gear, and the low-profile design won't turn your truck into a sail.
• Finish Work: We apply automotive paint in any color you want, including perfect matches to your truck's existing paint. We know which coatings survive trail conditions because we test them on our equipment before recommending them to customers.

How People Use Overland Truck Bed Racks

• Rooftop Tents: These overland truck bed racks handle real tent weight, plus you're moving around inside. Mounting points match the tent manufacturer's specs, not our convenience. We've tested most major tent brands, so compatibility isn't guesswork.
• Gear Hauling: Tie-down points go where people secure loads in real use. You get space for camping gear, tools, and emergency equipment you hope never to need but always want to carry. The modular design works with existing truck storage instead of forcing you to replace everything.
• Trail Duty: These racks are built to handle conditions that bend less expensive alternatives. We beat on prototypes across Kentucky terrain until they prove themselves worthy. When not exploring the backcountry, you maintain easy gear access and normal truck handling.

Overlanding Bed Rack Accessories and Add-Ons

• Mounting Hardware: We offer custom brackets for specific trucks and universal options. Quick-release systems allow easy removal when needed, and reinforced mount points handle heavy loads without flexing.
• Storage Add-Ons: Our overland bed rack accessories include toolbox integration, water container mounts, spare tire brackets, and recovery gear attachment points. Everything is positioned where it makes sense for actual use.
• Lighting Setup: We provide LED light bar mounts with clean wiring management. Switch integration and weather-sealed connections won't fail when you need visibility most.

Overland Bed Rack Installation and Setup

• Custom Fitting: We measure your specific truck and talk through your needs before building anything. CAD work ensures proper fit before we start welding. Test fitting happens before final assembly.
• Shop Installation: Our professional mounting at our facility includes safety checks and function testing— and you get documentation and maintenance tips for long-term reliability.
• Ongoing Support: We will make modifications and additions as your setup evolves. We will also provide maintenance guidance to keep everything working and offer a warranty on materials and quality.

Why Talsit Bed Racks Work Better

We've broken other people's gear and learned what actually lasts. Our bed racks have been tested to withstand the rigors of overland travel in the southwest deserts, so we know they can withstand any environment.

Every expedition rack leaving our shop survived the same testing we put our gear through, meaning your rack will work when setting up camp after a tough trail day, not just in parking lot demos.
