Our posted lead times are only estimations and rely on various factors, many times outside of our control. Historic challenging times within our industry have caused ripples in the supply chain world that have repercussions even on the smallest of components at times. As you would imagine, many companies in our industry are experiencing the same.

Our bed racks are super cool, with the ability to be customized. But this causes a series of challenges due to the thousands of possible combinations regarding compatibility, availability, etc. However, we are constantly aiming at improving our processes, hiring and training our people to achieve a reliable fulfillment process.

If you have additional questions about our lead times, please check our current estimations and reach out to our team if you need additional information. We thank you for your continued support and patience as we improve our processes.

While we would do our best to accommodate a specific need, please do not plan any trips or outings based on the estimated lead times.

THIRD PARTY PRODUCTS

Xtrusion Overland started supplying various brands that go hand in hand with our own products, to provide a complete service and help us grow. This includes products that are drop shipped. Please be advised that availability and lead times of those product are solely impacted by the third-party vendor's schedule. Many products are sold under an open inventory method, as the technology to sync inventories is limited, therefore please reach out if a specific product is needed by a specific date for us to double check with the supplier for you!

Any potential delay that occurs in the sourcing, processing, or drop shipment at the third party level will be communicated to the best of our ability to the customer.

ESTIMATED DATE | LEAD TIMES

The estimated lead time provided when you placed your order is JUST AN ESTIMATE. It is not a guarantee that the product will be shipped on that date. The estimated lead time gives you some sense of what the current times to source, cut, pack and ship takes. Many times the lead time can be shorter, but likewise it can extend, depending on factors such as previous demand and current supply. We manufacture many components in house, but extenuating circumstances such as down time for maintenance or unscheduled downtimes for repairs might impact dates as well as delays related to our sourced components. There is a constant flow of parts and shipments, and sometimes the visibility becomes a challenge to pinpoint exactly when your product will ship.

Feel free to check on your order at any time. Be aware that our customer service team may not be able to give you an exact date for completion but rest assured we are tracking your order and it will be built in the order that it was received.

Xtrusion Overland also reserves the right to cancel items from an order, offer an alternative substitution or issue refund accordingly when product is delayed at an unacceptable time frame or at the request of the customer.

Rack Angle Guide

Overland Rack Angle Compatibility

One Angle.
Every Build.

XTR bed racks use three rack angles — 9°, 13°, and 20° — each matched to specific vehicle setups and accessory families. Find the right angle for your build so every rail, crossbar, and mounting kit lines up perfectly.

Engineered quality

CNC billet strength

We didn't just join the strong extrusions with some sheet metal corner brackets — we put the aluminum where it makes a difference. Every angle variant uses the same 6061-T6 Aerospace grade billet, machined to precision to join all components with exact angular alignment.

✓ All three angles share the same billet standard
✓ 9°, 13°, and 20° brackets machined to exact specs
✓ No sheet metal corners — pure aerospace aluminum

CNC billet corner brackets for XTR bed racks — available in 9°, 13°, and 20° angles

Quick Reference

Angle Compatibility

Rack Angle	Product Line	Compatible Accessories
9°	Gladiator Series	All Gladiator bed racks (XTR1, XTR3 and XBRS), Gladiator mounting kits, Gladiator-specific crossbars, including Softopper versions on Gladiator.
13°	Soft Topper Series	Soft Topper bed racks for all truck models (except Gladiator).
20°	Universal / Crossbars	All XTR1, XTR3, XBRS Bed Racks, universal mounting rails, standard rack accessories (except Gladiator or Softopper)

9° angle

Gladiator Series

The 9° angle is dedicated to the Gladiator product line. This angle was engineered specifically for Gladiator rails and their mounting geometry, ensuring a flush, secure connection between your rails and any Xtrusion add-on accessories. This includes Softopper Gladiator Builds and XBRS for Gladiator.

Xo Skeleton Note: The XO.SKLTN Uses a complete different system not to be confused with Gladiator XTR 9 Degree components.

13° angle

Soft Topper Series

The 13° angle serves Soft Topper products. This intermediate angle provides the right compromise between load clearance and low profile when mounting accessories to Soft Topper rails and their compatible hardware.

Crossbars: XTR1 and XTR3 use 13° when mounted on Soft Topper setups.

20-degree universal rack crossbar — XTR universal and crossbar series

20° angle

Universal / Crossbars

The 20° angle is the default for all other Xtrusion products — universal mounting rails, standard crossbars, and general overland rack accessories. This is the most common angle in the industry and works with the widest range of roof rack and truck bed rack systems.

XBRS: XBRS crossbars use 20° components, the same as XTR1 and XTR3, so the joints stay compatible if you upgrade to a full rack. The one exception is XBRS for the Jeep Gladiator, which uses 9°.

Quick Reference

Xo Skeleton — Angle Breakdown

The Xo Skeleton uses two angles Gladiator Specific or Universal. However, some accessories might be compatible with both, because the top rail consolidates both angles into one. Crossbar mounts or awning mounts are compatible with both versions.

How To Choose

The Right Rack Angle,
Explained

Every XTR accessory — crossbars, mounting brackets, add-on hardware — is cut for one specific angle. The right angle depends on your primary rail system or vehicle setup. Choosing the matching angle ensures every component in your build aligns correctly and carries load as designed.

Identify your rail system. Gladiator = 9°, Soft Topper = 13°, universal = 20°.
Check your crossbar type. XTR1/XTR3 come in all three — order the one matching your rails.
Stick to one angle per build. Mixing angles creates misalignment and stress points.

What determines the rack angle I need? +

Your rack angle is determined by your primary rail system or vehicle setup. Gladiator rails use 9°, Soft Topper setups use 13°, and universal or standard rack accessories use 20°. Choosing the matching angle ensures every accessory — crossbars, mounting brackets, and add-ons — aligns correctly.

Can I use a 20° crossbar with a Gladiator rail? +

No. Gladiator rails are engineered for 9° accessories. Using a 20° crossbar on a Gladiator rail will result in misalignment and improper load transfer. Always match your crossbar angle to your rail system.

Do Soft Toppers and Gladiator rails use the same angle? +

No. Soft Toppers use a 13° angle while Gladiator rails use a 9° angle. These angles are not interchangeable. If you're building with both types, you'll need separate angle-specific accessory sets.

Are XTR1 and XTR3 crossbars angle-specific? +

XTR1 and XTR3 crossbars come in three angle variants — 9°, 13°, and 20° — to match each rack system. The 20° variant is the default and works with universal racks. The 13° variant is used when paired with Soft Topper setups. Order the angle that matches your primary rail system.

Why do overland racks use different angles? +

Different rack angles exist to accommodate varying vehicle roof geometries, rail profiles, and load requirements. The 9° angle works well with Gladiator-style tubular rails. The 13° angle provides a middle ground for Soft Topper mounting systems. The 20° angle is the industry standard for universal applications and offers maximum load clearance.

Description

XO.SKLTN Gear Cage

Keep Your Gear Organized, Secure, and Within Easy Reach

Turn the unused space along the inside walls of your XO.SKLTN topper into practical, accessible storage with the Xtrusion Overland Gear Cage/s.

Fits XO.SKLTN toppers on: Toyota Tacoma (2005+), Toyota Tundra, Ford Ranger, Ford F-150 / F-250 / F-350, Chevy Colorado / GMC Canyon, Chevy Silverado / GMC Sierra 1500, 2500 and 3500, Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500, Nissan Frontier, Nissan Titan and Jeep Gladiator.

Designed specifically for the interior sides of the XO.SKLTN, these MOLLE-style aluminum containment shelves keep recovery equipment, tools, camping supplies, soft bags, water containers, power tools, sleeping gear, and other essentials organized without taking over the center of your truck bed.

Open an XO.SKLTN side panel and your gear is immediately within reach—no climbing into the bed, unloading other equipment, or digging through stacked containers.

Organized Storage Without the Bulk of a Cabinet

The Gear Cage maintains a low internal profile while creating a defined storage area along the side of your topper. Its open-air design makes it easier to see your equipment, reach smaller items, and secure gear with straps, MOLLE accessories, or other compatible mounting solutions.

The laser-cut MOLLE pattern also reduces unnecessary weight and provides multiple attachment points for organizing and securing your load.

Use the Gear Cage for items such as:

Recovery straps, shackles, and recovery equipment
Tool bags, hand tools, and power tools
Camp kitchens, cookware, and cooking supplies
Soft-sided luggage and storage bags
Water containers and hydration equipment
Sleeping bags, blankets, and bedding
Electrical equipment and portable power accessories
Everyday work, travel, and overland gear

Protected by the XO.SKLTN Topper

The Gear Cage is an open-air interior storage system. It is not independently water-tight or air-tight inside the topper.

However, when the XO.SKLTN side panels are closed, the cage and its contents are enclosed within the topper and protected from outside exposure. Because the XO.SKLTN side panels are equipped with locks, equipment stored in the Gear Cage can also be secured inside the locked topper.

This gives you the accessibility of an open storage shelf with the added protection and security of the XO.SKLTN enclosure.

Which Gear Cage Do I Need?

Gear Cages are sized by the height of your XO.SKLTN, not by the size of your truck. Choose the XO.SKLTN Rack Height option that lists your truck and your rack height (Mid Height or Full Height), then pick a 14" or 20" size.

Because the cage only depends on rack height, some trucks share a cage with trucks of a different class. For example, the Nissan Frontier uses the same cage as the F-150, Silverado 1500 and Ram 1500. That's expected.

GMC Canyon owners should choose the Chevy Colorado option. Not sure which rack height you have, or don't see your truck and rack height listed? Check your order confirmation, or contact us at [email protected] or (316) 330-0024 before ordering.

Modular by Design

Gear Cages are available in multiple lengths and can be installed individually or combined to create a longer storage section.

When multiple cages are mounted together, the adjoining middle side sections can be removed to create a more continuous storage area. This allows you to configure the system around your truck, equipment, and preferred organization layout.

Current Gear Cage lengths:

14 inches
20 inches

Each cage measures approximately 7 inches deep, helping preserve valuable open space in the center of the truck bed.

Maintain a Clear Center Cargo Area

By positioning equipment along the inside walls of the topper, Gear Cages help keep the center of the bed available for larger cargo, coolers, totes, bikes, camping equipment, work supplies, or other frequently loaded items.

The low-profile design also helps preserve visibility and access through the topper while reducing loose equipment on the bed floor.

Create a Shelf or Slide-Out Support Area

Gear Cages can be installed on both the driver and passenger sides of the XO.SKLTN. When mounted across from one another, they can provide support areas for additional shelves, platforms, or custom slide-out storage systems.

With 7-inch-deep Gear Cages installed on both sides, the approximate open distance between the cages is shown below.

Approximate Distance Between Opposing Gear Cages

Truck Model	Distance Between Cages
Ford Ranger	40.6"
Chevrolet Colorado	40.6"
3rd-Generation Toyota Tacoma	40.6"
4th-Generation Toyota Tacoma	40.95"
Ford F-150 / Toyota Tundra	48.2"
Ford F-250	49.3"
Ram 1500	48.2"
Ram HD	49.3"
Nissan Titan	48.2"
Chevrolet Silverado / GMC Sierra 1500	47.7"
Chevrolet Silverado / GMC Sierra 2500	48.8"
Nissan Frontier	41.45"
Jeep Gladiator	39.6"

These dimensions can help when planning a custom shelf, drawer, cargo platform, or slide-out system. Always verify the available space in your specific vehicle and installation before designing or ordering additional components.

Available Gear Cage Mounting Length

The amount of usable Gear Cage mounting space varies by truck model, bed length, and XO.SKLTN side-panel configuration.

The measurements below represent the approximate maximum linear space available between the side-panel hinge areas.

Maximum Approximate Gear Cage Length

Truck Model	Short Bed	Standard Bed
Ford Ranger	46"	57"
Chevrolet Colorado	48.5"	61"
3rd-Generation Toyota Tacoma	50"	64"
4th-Generation Toyota Tacoma	49"	63"
Ford F-150 / Toyota Tundra	55"	67"
Ram 1500	54"	64"
Nissan Titan	54"	65"
Chevrolet Silverado / GMC Sierra	57.5"	—
Nissan Frontier	48.5"	—

Example: An F-150 short-bed XO.SKLTN provides approximately 55 inches of available Gear Cage mounting space. This allows you to install two 20-inch Gear Cages and one 14-inch Gear Cage for a combined length of 54 inches, leaving approximately 1 inch of clearance within the available mounting area.

The listed dimensions represent available linear mounting space, not a required Gear Cage configuration. Individual 14-inch and 20-inch cages can be combined to create the storage layout that best fits the available area.

Allow sufficient clearance around hinges, latches, mounting hardware, and other accessories.

Flat-Pack Design, Made in the USA

Each Gear Cage is manufactured in the United States from lightweight, durable aluminum and ships flat to reduce shipping volume.

The customer assembles the cage before installation. All required Gear Cage assembly components and XO.SKLTN mounting hardware are included.

Each Gear Cage Set Includes

1 rear panel
1 bottom panel
2 side panels
1 removable middle shelf
2 top aluminum extrusions
2 mounting plates
2 middle aluminum extrusions
Gear Cage assembly hardware
XO.SKLTN mounting hardware
