Stock bedrails vs aftermarket

Are they a special order type of product? I have the piece that goes on top of the tailgate I didn’t even know relentless offered the tops for the bed too.

relentless used to have them available - ive heard they were a pita to ship etc so they stopped, vagabond outdoors convinced them to do special run orders for the drifters, from what i know, so only thru vagabond can you get them

Bumping an old thread as I’m moving my GFC from my 1st gen to my 2nd gen.

KBVoodoo rails still the way to go? Any other options available?

KB Voodoo is a mediocre option but Vagabond is the exclusive seller of the Relentless version and they are hard to get in touch with.

you will probably want to do something with the sat fin. if changing bedrails - totally rad products has a ‘blemish’ sale going on, if you dont already have something and have a sat fin - i guess

Bumping up this thread. Anybody been able to get a set of the Relentless bedrails lately, or know if they’re still making them? I’ve reached out to both Vegabond and Relentless and crickets thus far. Thanks.

As far as I know they are still making them but Relentless is making them for Vagabond. I’ve seen several Drifter buyers be able to pick them up recently through Vagabond on TW.

@Hoarder23 did Vagabond or Relentless ever reply on your special order? I sent both vendors a message today on TW. I’m wanting their bed side rails because my stock ones were cut for the OEM tonneau cover.

Nope, I have the KB Doodoo rails repowdered and threw them on the new truck. Relentless won’t sell them to you, only to Vagabond. And Vagabond needs an office manager. I sent emails, texts and left voicemails when the box wasn’t full but nothing after the first phone conversation.

If you still have the cover you can make the transfer of the buyers uncut rails part of the deal. Otherwise the KB rails are the only game in town.

I have a 3rd gen. Today KB Voodoo told me not compatible. So it looks like I’m stuck with the stock side rails. I’ll ask whoever buys my tonneau to do a swap.

the design of the stock bedrails on the 3rd gen are much better than the second gen ones - they are much shorter height wise. so yeah if you can simply swap them you should be golden

Would love a set of the Relentless/Vagabond Bed Rial caps if anyone figure out how to get a hold of them

Keep pestering Vagabond. I was able to get a set, it just took a bit (almost 2 months) before they sent over an invoice and I received them. Maybe try jumping on the phone for a quicker turnaround.

Cool, thanks. I’ll keep bugging Vagabond then.

What are they charging for those things?

$225 then tax and shipping brought it to just over $300 for me in VT.

Cool, thanks for that. Good to know what I’m in for

Does anyone know if the Relentless caps are compatible with the V2 camper?

Yes they are compatible

Can anyone confirm if the V2 campers will work if I have the side rails from relentless but keep the OEM tailgate cap? Getting conflicting information from the GFC Owners FB page.

Not sure if I should get this - 2005-2015 Tacoma Tail Gate Reinforcement – Relentless Off-Road Fabrication

This thread covers the details (relentless and KBVooDoo rails are comparable). Those caps work but you will not be able to use your tailgate cap (oem or otherwise) and could have some rubbing in a small area. GFC doesn’t recommend after market caps
