For sale is a Go Rhino Extreme Contractor Sport Rack for 2005+ Tacoma VB (i.e. crew cab super short 5 foot bed).
I bought this rack in 2008 and it has served me very well. Manufacturer says it is rated to 500lbs. I've been standing on top and jumped on it and it never budged or felt unstable. Great for heavy duty hauling. I used it for big kayak loads off road, but it would work great as an RTT platform (or for lumber, ladders, or other contractor work).
The rack is cab high and designed to work with the lines of the truck. It gets lot of compliments for its looks and is super stable.
The rack is made of a combination of rolled steel cross members and some curved tube on the corners, so its a bit lighter than some other racks that are tubing only. I don't have a weight on it (sorry). This rack is made specifically to fit the bed of a 2nd generation four door very short bed (60 inch long) fleet side Tacoma. It will fit any 2005+ fleet side, but it will (obviously) run a foot short of the total bed length on the access cab short bed models and the extended length crew cab beds (i.e. the 6 foot bed variants). The rack feet sit on top of the existing bed rail caps and the whole thing is held into place with brackets that bolt right into the side rail system. You can still use the OEM rail cleats with the rack installed. The side bars are (re)movable.
It could use a little bit of sanding and spray paint work here and there. The paint has started to ware a bit in places, particularly around the mounting feet (see pictures), but its just cosmetic an could easily be cleaned up with a little sanding and paint work. There is also some rust on some of the bolts, but its similar to what you see in the photo for the feet and I have some new hardware I am willing to throw in with it in any case.
$500 OBO for the rack without the bolt-on Yakima bars seen in the pictures. I will throw those into the deal for an extra $70.
Looking to sell local right now in the Washington DC area for cash as shipping would cost a bundle.
Happy to answer any questions.
