upTOP Overland is a Colorado based company that lives and breathes mountain air.

Their products feature a unique design and they also offer some of the most expansive powder coating options out there allowing you to customize the look of you bed rack or roof rack.

Roof Racks

Roof racks have become the rage and that is for good reason. In today's age you have dozen of choices of many high-quality roof racks for a wide range of vehicles. Despite there being any options not all roof racks are made equal and have benefits that might suit your needs and setup best. upTOP Overland is considered one of the top tier roof rack manufactures and offers three different versions of their industry leading roof racks. This includes the Bravo which is the most affordable, the Alpha which offers an excellent level of customization, and the Zulu, their all-new first ever stainless steel roof rack.

All upTOP Overland roof racks are designed to increase your vehicles carrying capacity and work perfectly for mounting a roof top tent or other accessories. You also will have the ability to incorporate light bars and accessory lights to any upTOP roof rack. However, each upTOP model offers different features and benefits discussed below.

Bravo Roof Racks

upTOP Overland's first claim to fame was their Bravo roof rack and that excitement and love for the affordably priced Bravo is still there. upTOP offers the Bravo for many vehicles including the Tacoma, Tundra, 4Runner, Colorado, GX460, and many more. Regardless of the application, the Bravo is constructed out of aluminum ensuring the rack is lightweight but doesn't sacrifice any strength.

All Bravo roof racks come standard with two aluminum side plates, 1x2 inch extruded aluminum crossbars (number depends on application), wind screen, mounting feet, and all required hardware. All Bravo roof racks come with a black powder coat finish. If you want to customize the look of your roof rack with different powder coat color either the Alpha or Zulu will be your best bet.

Alpha Roof Racks

upTOP's Alpha roof racks are a step up from the Bravo roof racks and offer customization options as well as provide additional strength thanks to the 1/4 inch grooveTEK interior rails and 3/16 inch armorTEK exterior rails. In addition to having two side plates, you also have additional wind screen cutout options not found on the Bravo series including cutouts designed for Baja Designs lights.

For those looking to add some flare to their roof rack, the Alpha series can be a great option as you can order the rack with a powder coated inner or out side plate. You can even order a color-matched side plates to compliment your vehicle perfectly.

The Alpha series will also come with grab handles (4) and usually one additional crossbar. Like the Bravo roof rack, the Alpha roof rack will easily accept all upTOP roof rack accessories allowing you to secure the gear and accessories you need.

Zulu Roof Racks

upTOP's newest creation are their Zulu roof racks which are the industries first ever roof racks with a stainless steel rack body. This results in an extremely rigid design that has been developed via 3D modeling and stress testing to ensure this rack will hold up to anything thrown its way. The overall side design is also slightly different than the Bravo and Alpha models in that folds over the top and sits flush with the load bars.

Included with the Zulu rack is roof rack body, Ambi-Armor which can be color matched to your vehicle, adaptive wind screen, integrated grab handles, rigid mounting feet, and all required hardware.

Roof Rack Accessories

Roof rack accessories allow you to easily mount adventure gear and accessories directly to your roof rack. Sure, a roof rack by itself offers many different benefits, but having a way to securely mount necessary items can only make your experience that much better. Thankfully, upTOP roof rack accessories have been developed to work exclusively with all upTOP Overland roof racks and many will also work on upTOP bed racks.

Some of our favorite accessories include the TracMOUNT, ShadeBRKT, and ROTO Mount.

• upTOP TracMOUNT: We suggest everyone carry some sort of recovery device whenever they leave the house. In many cases a MAXTRAX or other recovery tool is the chosen option due to its versatility and ease of use. Finding a place to stash the device is a whole separate issue. Enter the upTOP TracMOUNT which offers the ability to easily secure a recovery device directly to your upTOP roof rack.

• upTOP ShadeBRKT: I think we can all agree it is crucial to have shade during the summer and equally as crucial to have shelter in the winter. A vehicle awning can be an excellent option for both. upTOP developed their ShadeBRKT allowing you to easily attach a standard size awning directly to the side of the rack.

• upTOP ROTO Mount: Running out of fuel and/or water is a no-go and not something we recommend. The guard against that, upTOP offers their ROTO Mount which is a RotoPaX mounting system allowing you to easily attach fuel and water cans to your roof rack.

Bed Racks

To some, bed racks are equally important and maybe even more important that a roof rack. That ultimately depends on how you plan to use your vehicle and what exactly you plan to carry. Both a roof rack and bed rack are designed to increase your carrying capacity, but a bed rack is typically more suited to handle larger gear like kayaks, tents, etc.

upTOP Overland bed racks including their TRUSS bed rack system are ultra-configurable and designed for the adventure ahead. Whether you are wanting to mount bikes, paddle board, or more, the upTOP lineup of bed racks are proven and are sure to impress. Stick with us to learn what options are out there.

TRUSS Bed Racks

upTOP Overland's TRUSS bed racks come in multiple configurations and are available for many different vehicles including the Toyota Tundra and Toyota Tacoma. All TRUSS bed racks are constructed out of aluminum and come with armor side plates. Another great feature with the TRUSS bed rack is it can be ordered in three different sizes heights which includes short, medium, and high.

The short option is perfect for those looking to mount a roof top tent as it keeps the tent around roof line when mounted resulting is less wind drag. In other words the tent wont be sitting up catching any wind. The medium height bed rack also keeps a tent mostly out of the wind but allows you a bit more access below the bed rack for larger items. The tallest height option is perfect for those who might need to carry longer loads that need to extend over the cab. It can also be a good option for someone who might not be wanting to mount a roof top tent and wants to maximize their storage ability under the rack.

In addition to multiple height options, upTOP Overland offers their TRUSS overland bed rack in different versions. This includes a version that works with a Retrax tonneau cover, Soft Topper, and even a Diamondback cover. Regardless of your setup, you can benefit from an upTOP TRUSS bed rack that is proudly manufactured in the U.S.A.

Bed Rack Accessories

Bed rack accessories are another one of those things that aren't completely necessary but can be a saving grace in certain situations. upTOP offers numerous bed rack accessories that have been expertly designed to work with their TRUSS bed racks. This includes tent mounting kits, awning mounts, tool mounts, and much more. It is also worth noting that many of their roof rack accessories can also work with the TRUSS bed rack.
