Homemade Overland Bed Rack - $130 Budget truck bed rack

Today we’re building a homemade overland rack for my brother’s Toyota Tundra using U-channel steel. This DIY truck bed rack is designed as a budget-friendly utility and cargo rack, built specifically to fit the truck since not all pickup beds are the same size. For that reason, we’re not listing exact dimensions—anyone recreating this build will need to measure their own truck bed. The goal of this project was to create a test overland rack so we could experiment with what we like and don’t like before committing to a final design. Modularity was a key focus, so only the main frame components are welded. All other parts are bolted on, allowing for easy adjustments, upgrades, and future accessories. This U-channel truck storage rack turned out to be a solid, budget-friendly solution for hauling gear and overlanding equipment. We completed the build just in time for an overland trip, and so far we’re very happy with how this DIY cargo carrier performed. 🔥 Build Highlights: • DIY overland rack for Toyota Tundra • Built from U-channel steel • Modular, adjustable design • Budget-friendly truck bed storage rack • Welded main frame with bolt-on accessories • Perfect for overland and camping gear 📌 Keywords / Tags: DIY overland rack, truck bed rack, homemade truck rack, pickup truck storage rack, overland truck build, DIY cargo rack, U-channel steel rack, Toyota Tundra overland
