I’m looking at buying a 2015 Tacoma, which has no rack or cap. In the past I’ve built wood racks for my old Taco’s, and just bolted them on; trying to get an idea as to what rack options any folks here may have put on a 2008-2015 Tacoma, 6’ bed?
 
i built a wood one for my '17 tacoma, fastened with ratchet straps to the tie-down points in the bed. this one was basically a prototype, but it's lasted me 5 years even though it sits in the bed year round. going to build a new one soon with pt lumber and some minor changes based on things i eventually wished i'd done differently (chief among them making it wide enough to fit my srt and indy at the same time without having to use the removable rails i eventually fabricated to accomplish that).

I have a first gen (2002) Extracab with the six foot bed. I have a cap, are you adverse to the concept of a cap or is it the cost of one?

With a cap and two 2x4's I've carried 3 canoes (1 stacked) on a number of occasions.

I realize that is not any help if you don't/can't add a cap to it.

Just curious, is this new (to you) Tacoma a 4 door or extra cab? I'd love to have the 4-door / 6ft bed but living in the city my parking skills have declined over the years and I have enough trouble parking my 16.9ft "monster", the 2015 4-door is about 2 ft longer!
