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-degree Gladiator rail crossbar — XTR Gladiator series rack angle
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-degree Soft Topper rail crossbar — XTR Soft Topper series rack angle
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.

9° Angle

XOSKLTN Gladiator
Xo Skeleton Gladiator 9-degree angle
  • Gladiator rail mounts
  • Gladiator-specific hardware
  • Gladiator crossbar slots

13° Angle

XOSKLTN

Note: The Xo Skeleton never uses the 20° angle.

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

A third brake light, amber chase light and white scene light in one housing, made to mount on the rear crossbar of your XTR1, XTR3 or XBRS bed rack. Inside are two US-made Feniex Quad Q3 lights, pre-programmed so the brake, chase and scene functions work out of the box.

Why an XTR bed rack needs its own third brake light

Your truck's factory third brake light sits at the top of the cab, right where a bed rack load ends up. Put a rooftop tent, a soft topper, stacked cases or a kayak on your XTR rack and the drivers behind you may not see that light at all. This housing puts a center brake light back at the rear of the rack, behind the load. The amber chase function makes you easier to follow on dusty trails and convoy runs, and the white scene function lights up the area behind the truck when you're setting up camp after dark or backing into a site.

Made for the XTR bed rack platform

XTR bed racks are modular: 6061-T6 aluminum T-slot extrusion, CNC-machined corner brackets and bed rail brackets, set to the height your truck and setup need, then built out with MOLLE plates, recovery board mounts and lighting. This housing is designed for that system. It mounts at the center of the rear crossbar, and the harness runs inside the crossbar to a corner bracket, so there are no loose wires strapped across the back of your rack.

It fits the rear crossbar on every rack in the XTR family:

  • XTR1 and XTR3 bed racks on an open bed
  • XTR racks for Retrax XR covers, mounted on the cover's rails
  • XTR racks for soft toppers, where the topper itself can hide the cab's third brake light
  • XBRS low-profile bed bars, with the universal mount or the Retrax XR mount

Because the light lives on the rack, it works the same on any truck we build XTR racks for — from the Tacoma, Ranger, Maverick and Gladiator to the Tundra, F-150, Super Duty, Silverado and Ram. It's the rear lighting of a chase rack, added to a rack you can still load, configure and upgrade.

XTR or XO.SKLTN: which version do you need?

We make this light in two versions, and the housings are physically different. This one is for XTR1, XTR3 and XBRS racks. If you run an XO.SKLTN, our all-in-one system that goes from bed rack to topper to camper, order the XO.SKLTN Third Brake Light & Chase Light Housing instead; it's made for the XO.SKLTN frame. Both versions use the same Feniex Quad Q3 lights, wiring and camera options.

Three lights in one housing

  • Brake: solid red (dimmed setting), wired to your truck's brake light output
  • Chase: solid full-bright amber, on a switched circuit
  • Scene: solid full-bright white, on a switch or tied to your reverse lights so it works as extra backup lighting

The Feniex Quad Q3 is a compact four-color light (red, blue, amber and white) used on police and first-responder vehicles. Each light can be reprogrammed for other colors and patterns, but that's at your own risk: the lights can also show blue, which isn't legal for civilian use. Read the Feniex Q3 instructions before changing anything, and check your state's lighting laws before running chase or scene lighting on the road.

Choose your version

  • With Camera Opening: a cutout for a WolfBox rear camera
  • No Camera Opening: a clean face, lights only
  • Third Brake Light With WolfBox G900 PRO: the camera-opening housing plus a WolfBox G900 PRO smart dash cam and camera. On an XTR rack the camera sits on the rear crossbar, so you can still see behind the truck when a tent or gear on the rack blocks the view out your rear window.

Every housing comes in matte black or gray.

What's included

  • Housing, 3D printed in carbon-fiber PETG (CF PETG), matte black or gray
  • 2 Feniex Quad Q3 lights, pre-programmed for brake, chase and scene
  • Wiring harness with a sealed IP67 4-pin plug a few inches from the housing, so the light can be disconnected, and about 9 ft of wire ending in bare leads for your truck’s brake, reverse and switched circuits

Not included: switches are not included with any version. A WolfBox camera comes only with the Third Brake Light With WolfBox G900 PRO version; the With Camera Opening version has the cutout but no camera.

Installation

  1. Drill a 1/2" hole at the center of the rack's rear crossbar.
  2. Feed the harness through the hole and along the inside of the crossbar to one of the corner brackets, then bring the wire out through the corner bracket's wiring hole.
  3. Connect the leads (see the wiring photo): black = ground, blue = red (brake) +12V, brown = amber (chase) +12V, green = white (scene) +12V. Wire colors may vary.
  4. Tie blue into your truck's brake light output, green into a switched or reverse circuit, and brown into a switched circuit. Check your truck's wiring before you start.

FAQ

Will this fit my XTR1, XTR3 or XBRS rack?

Yes. It mounts to the rear crossbar of XTR1 and XTR3 bed racks, including the Retrax XR and soft topper versions, and XBRS bed bars. For an XO.SKLTN, order the XO.SKLTN version; the housings are different.

Why add a third brake light to a bed rack?

A rooftop tent, soft topper or tall load on the rack can block the third brake light on top of your cab. A light at the back of the rack keeps a center brake light in view of the driver behind you.

Can I run the chase and scene lights while driving?

Rules for amber and white rear lights vary by state. Check your local laws before using either function on the road.

Are switches included?

No, not with any version. Plan on a switch for the chase light and one for the scene light, unless you wire the scene light to your reverse circuit.

Can I change the colors or flash patterns?

Yes, following the Feniex Q3 instructions, at your own risk. Blue light isn't legal for civilian use.
