How did it come to be?

Way back in 2016, members of the TacomaWorld community asked us to create a truck bed crossbar system that would attach to the inside of a truck bed, then wrap around the outside of a tonneau cover, so that they could carry items like skis, tents, bikes, cargo baskets, and kayaks above the bed.

It was a great idea, so we obliged.

These photos show the first prototypes being installed on our Toyota Tacoma in November 2016

Since then, materials have changed, the bars have been strengthened and improved, and we have expanded the product to fit every truck on the market. We have multiple styles for multiple applications.

Our PRO-X truck bed crossbars use an aluminum T-track crossbar which allows for easy attachment of accessories.

Our brand new PRO-XE truck bed crossbars add an optional molle panel system.

LO-Rise Truck Bed Crossbar System

KB Voodoo also offers a LO-RISE truck bed crossbar system.

KB Voodoo invented the tonneau compatible truck bed crossbar, and we will continue to innovate moving forward.

Simply put, we are a truck bed rack company. That’s it, nothing else.

There are many things that we could build just to sell, just to make money, but we specialize in one thing, and we do it better than anyone else.

We are not a marketing company, in fact, we aren’t very good at marketing. We do not provide products to influencers in trade for a “review”, we find that to be disingenuous.

We are not an “overlanding store”. We do not sell products from other companies, we only sell products that we make. 

Background

Who invented modular truck bed racks?

In 2016, KB Voodoo invented the modular truck bed rack. Since then many other companies have stepped in with their own version of that product. Other companies borrow ideas, but we continue to innovate and drive the industry.

Who Invented Tonneau Compatibe Truck Bed Racks

Shortly after inventing the modular truck bed rack, KB Voodoo pioneered tonneau cover compatibility for truck bed racks. Prior to that, if you wanted a tonneau cover and a bed rack, you had to make it work on your own. We made the process simple.

What does the future look like for KB Voodoo?

We will continue to find better ways to enhance the capability of your truck. We have a lot of great ideas for future designs, so stay tuned.

When it comes to overlanding, having the right gear can make all the difference in your adventure experience. One essential piece of equipment that many off-road enthusiasts overlook is the bed rack. In this blog, we’ll dive into our Voodoo Rail System, the benefits it offers, and the top features these racks possess to elevate your next adventure.

What is the Voodoo Rail System (VRS)?

The Voodoo Rail is the foundation of this system.  Multiple different configurations of the truck bed crossbars and bed rack system can be built from the Voodoo Rail System.  The Voodoo Rail System offers a vast array of mounting points, and it equally distributes the load across the full length of your truck bed sides, eliminating potential deformation of your truck’s bed and side rail caps.

Most importantly, the Voodoo Rail offers tonneau cover compatibility without the need for any special adapters.  

This system is also completely modular. You can start with a simple crossbars system, and upgrade to a full overland bed rack at any time!

Key Features

• Material: Choose between aluminum (lightweight and corrosion-resistant) and steel (more robust but heavier). Your choice will depend on your needs for strength versus weight. 

• The Best Powder Coating in the Industry:  Prior to coating, our steel uprights are sandblasted to achieve a surface profile that paint can really stick to. After sandblasting, they are sprayed with a zinc-rich primer, then they are powder coated, and finally they are cured in a 400° oven. The curing process formulates a protective skin and promotes adhesion of the coating.

• Weight Capacity: 600lbs dynamic and 1,200lbs static weight capacity

• Mounting Options: We carry a full line of VRS Bed Rack Accessories from additional side panels, bike mounts, tractions board brackets, awning brackets, tool mounts, RotoPax mounts, Hi Lift Jack brackets, and even a propane tank mount.

• Installation: Easy bolt together assembly and installation to your truck using either t-slot nuts for an existing deck rail or our no drill clips.

The KB Voodoo VRS Overland bed rack system is a game changer for any adventure enthusiast. With the VRS, you can maximize your vehicle's cargo capacity, enhance your camping setup, and ensure that your gear is secure and accessible. Whether you’re a weekend warrior or a full-time overlander, investing in a quality bed rack from KB Voodoo Fabrications will elevate your outdoor experience and help you tackle any terrain with confidence.
