    My Tundra Limited 2025 now has a Soft Roll Up Tonneau Cover installed. The installation of my Soft Roll Up Tonneau Cover uses the rails of my Tundra. I'm looking for alternatives to install a Bed Ladder Rack to carry my two Kayaks.
    I believe that there NO alternative other than drilling the ladder Rack on top of the bed sides(?)

    Any suggestions??

    Look at RealTruck. They have an option for the Elevate Rack. Several of us on the Forum have it...here's what mine looks like

    If you could send me a photo of your truck's rail system using the Elevate Rack System, it would be great.
    Here is my truck's rail using the cover. Thank you!!!

    Super happy with my Elevate and Bakflip (Tri-Fold)

    Elevate uses T-slot rails that attach in conjunction with a tonneau.

    I can get some pictures of the inside later.

    The last couple of pictures below is a 12' 6" SUP, a 14' SUP, and a 28' OC-2 and ama, so they should handle a couple of kayaks no problems.

    Here ya go. The rails for the Elevate Rack are placed on the bed rail first, then the rails for the roll up cover is mating next to them. Held together with clamps using the Toyota bed rail system.

    Yes, need to buy the Elevate Rack and the Elevate Rails. As to install, yes, you'll need to remove your cover first. If you have further questions, you can also chat or call RealTruck to get answers.
