The weather is improving and we couldn't be more excited.
What does summer mean to us? It means mountain biking, kayaking, camping, off-roading, and the continuous development of the best truck bed racks and truck bed crossbars on the planet.
Stay tuned for more exciting product introductions over the next few months.
Here are a few photos from last summer’s fun.
How did it come to be?
Way back in 2016, members of the TacomaWorld community asked us to create a truck bed crossbar system that would attach to the inside of a truck bed, then wrap around the outside of a tonneau cover, so that they could carry items like skis, tents, bikes, cargo baskets, and kayaks above the bed.
It was a great idea, so we obliged.
These photos show the first prototypes being installed on our Toyota Tacoma in November 2016
Since then, materials have changed, the bars have been strengthened and improved, and we have expanded the product to fit every truck on the market. We have multiple styles for multiple applications.
Our PRO-X truck bed crossbars use an aluminum T-track crossbar which allows for easy attachment of accessories.
Our brand new PRO-XE truck bed crossbars add an optional molle panel system.
KB Voodoo also offers a LO-RISE truck bed crossbar system.
KB Voodoo invented the tonneau compatible truck bed crossbar, and we will continue to innovate moving forward.
Simply put, we are a truck bed rack company. That’s it, nothing else.
There are many things that we could build just to sell, just to make money, but we specialize in one thing, and we do it better than anyone else.
We are not a marketing company, in fact, we aren’t very good at marketing. We do not provide products to influencers in trade for a “review”, we find that to be disingenuous.
We are not an “overlanding store”. We do not sell products from other companies, we only sell products that we make.
Background
Who invented modular truck bed racks?
In 2016, KB Voodoo invented the modular truck bed rack. Since then many other companies have stepped in with their own version of that product. Other companies borrow ideas, but we continue to innovate and drive the industry.

Who Invented Tonneau Compatibe Truck Bed Racks
Shortly after inventing the modular truck bed rack, KB Voodoo pioneered tonneau cover compatibility for truck bed racks. Prior to that, if you wanted a tonneau cover and a bed rack, you had to make it work on your own. We made the process simple.

What does the future look like for KB Voodoo?
We will continue to find better ways to enhance the capability of your truck. We have a lot of great ideas for future designs, so stay tuned.
In 2016, KB Voodoo invented the modular bolt together truck bed rack. Prior to that time, if you wanted a bed rack, you needed to have a tubular rack welded up for you. Since then, many competitors have joined the market, but nobody has more experience than KB Voodoo Fabrications.
We offer more truck bed rack features than any other company, by far. We offer the full gamut from simple truck bed crossbars, to complete overland style truck bed racks. Nobody has a more complete line of accessories.

Our unique Voodoo Rail System, and Base Rail System fully distribute the load throughout the entire bed side of your truck. This design eliminates damaging pressure points on your truck bed.
The Voodoo Rail and Base Rail also allow for full bed length coverage, most other racks stop well short of the end of the truck bed.
All of our truck bed racks and truck bed crossbar systems are made from the highest quality aluminum and steel.
Each one of our components is CNC laser cut, and formed in precision CNC brake presses, the powder coated with top quality materials.
100% of our fabrication is done in sunny western New York!!

“Just an appreciation email; did a trip from BC, Canada to Utah and a few local trips after installing my new rack and rtt. The rack is functional, sturdy and looks fantastic. A couple pictures for fun.
Thank you for being awesome :)”
“Thanks for all of your expert guidance on this journey of transforming my Taco into a backcountry machine! Your parts are so precise, high quality and clearly engineered to the max.”
“Thank you for all the assistance in getting the rack. I am truly amazed at the quality, the packaging and how thought out everything is for the end user assembly. Your quality and handling really puts other vendors to shame from my experience. I am so very glad I went with Voodoo!”
“Before I bought my rooftop tent, I searched extensively for crossbars that would fit my specific application. KB Voodoo was the only company to meet my needs. I had many questions prior to my purchase of Pro-X Crossbars and KB Voodoo was always rapid with their replies by email. I later modified my mounting system by adding their 3” tent lift platforms. Their quality, service and responsiveness to questions was always rapid. Finding quality products matched with quality service is a rare find. I can easily recommend KB Voodoo’s quality of products and service”
“Hi there!
Ya know, I’ve used the chat function on your website and I’ve now emailed with you a few times. I might have even called once.
I’m unsure each time if I’m speaking with the same person or someone else, but it seems to me each time the person I speak with is aware of all going’s on, and has helped me each time.
Every time I’ve needed communication the person hooked me up directly.
I contacted you folks today just to get an idea of scheduling so I myself could schedule… you folks are so cool! I just got updated with tracking numbers.
I’ve got a whole stack of equipment to install on my truck. It’s all been very carefully picked out. Of everything I’ve got going on you folks impress me quite a bit. I’ve handled each piece and although it is unassembled, each piece looks like a very high quality made part and if everything fits as great as you folks communicate? I’m going to be truly impressed and I’m looking forward to bragging about you folks when I’m posting pictures of me and my dog Stella on our camping trips.
Thanks a lot. I appreciate whoever I’ve been speaking with. Regards to you all.”
We can’t rave about this truck enough!! It has incredible capability, great power, and it’s very comfortable.
