What an inspirational story! Living the American Dream in So Cal. I have been doing my research on rack systems for my TRD Tundra, and I keep coming back to this product.. I will be ordering one. Danke sehr..

[@jordan-otss]

Everyday I'm becoming more and more obsessed with this rack. Can't wait till mine arrives.

[@LeSedici]

Absolutely love my Forged ACS system on my Gladiator Rubicon. It is not only a gorgeous rack in it's own right, but the only that maintains use of the truck bed, and is one of, if not the heaviest, bearing system available, even though it is also lightweight enough to maximize fuel range and load capacity. It will be used to serve the citizens of Southeast Texas and beyond during emergencies and disasters as a local first responder POV and a state Search and Rescue vehicle. This product will allow me the ability to carry lifesaving equipment safely and securely right to where it's needed most. Additionally, the customer service was above any I've had, from communicating to order modification and getting the products out of the door faster than I thought possible to generous discount for military service. I was able to purchase nearly every accessory I needed in one order from the pods, light mounts, rotopax, maxtrax, water tank, and various brackets that will be utilized for radios and emergency lighting. I'm excited to see what products will follow and am ever grateful for this valuable tool in serving those in need. Thank you, Leitner!

Bernhard, thank you for sharing your story! You and your father are truly incredible and inspirational men. I have been looking for a rack for my Gladiator and found yours a couple days ago. I will be putting my order in tomorrow when you guys open back up. To hear and know your story is going to make owning your rack that much sweeter; it'll be an honor to rock your invention! Best, Ross

Great Story!! I purchased an Amp Research Bed Extender for my 2014 Tundra. Had to make room for the Decked system, and will be getting the Forged system. Congrats to you and your Pops.

[@plutonium76]

Nice little history about yourself and especially your dad with the Amp Research bikes. One of the best rack system out there hands down. Worth every penny.

[@LeitnerDesigns]

Thank you for the kind words, much appreciated !!

[@drjhunter]

I will be placing my order on the 15th for this forged rack for my 2019 Zr2 Bison. All black components will look great on my truck.

[@LeitnerDesigns]

We appreciate your support !!

[@foliendesign]

Fantastischer Imagefilm und sehr inspirierend. Ich wünschte ihr würdet nach Deutschland liefern! Beste Grüße aus Deutschland. :-)

[@tsthompson1]

Just received my Active Cargo Rack and will be installing it this weekend. Solid product, made in the USA, and from a family that possesses a very interesting and fascinating history. I'm definitely a customer that intends to stay. Thank you!

[@LeitnerDesigns]

Thank you for the kind words Thomas, we hope you enjoy our Active Cargo System !!

[@HoglundOverland]

Enjoyed learning the history behind the company and am excited for the new bed rack! Keep up the great work!

[@LeitnerDesigns]

We appreciate all of your feedback and support over the years !!

[@stevepaulmckenna]

Love this!

[@1313michaelb]

Very impressive, looking forward to order. Will you consider matching roof rack for the future?

[@IRLfishing]

Father is one hell of a guy

[@AnthonyPerez]

So cool. Nice work. I was thinking of doing something like this until I found yours. Keep up the great work.

[@TheExtinctionX]

Very impressive! Bought the decked system and am awaiting delivery. Was considering a cap but after further research your system seems to be the perfect match for me.

[@LeitnerDesigns]

Thanks for the kind words !! Many of our customers run both the Active Cargo System and the Decked System together, a very nice combo.

[@irondogallen6213]

Really great story about your dad, what a guy

[@jayu3948]

Great video! I love my ACS, it’s a game changer in for sure!

[@LeitnerDesigns]

Thank you for your support, it means a lot to all of us here at Leitner Designs

[@brianschwary6610]

Great products Great company Good people, been enjoying my Leitner rack with gear pods on my 2013 tacoma dclb since 2015. I corresponded with Bernhard at the time he is straight up legit, pleasure to do business with. The Leitner family has invented some cool stuff. I use my amp power and bed steps to access my Leitner rack. All works well, pretty neat 👌 #overlandmaui

[@nipponcha730]

Impressive! Please make a waterproof tarp cover for ACS.

[@jasonoloughlin6453]

I only wish these products were available in Australia for our vehicles. :-(

[@LeitnerDesigns]

Stay tuned Jason !!

[@Snooobaru]

I am really enjoying my ACS on my new 2020 JT!! I appreciate y’all and your hard work 🤙🏼

[@LeitnerDesigns]

Thank you Preston, we are enjoying watching your social farm grow, keep up the great work !!

[@Snooobaru]

Leitner Designs I’ve got some great trips coming up, and some dry humor fun too

[@JoshuaIS1]

I love this place! I'm gonna cancel my RSi smartcap order

[@KetemaHarris]

Any way this can work with a roll n lock tonneau cover? I have a decked system and this system looks awesome, but just like the bars slide forward it would be awesome to be able to keep the cover just stowing it when the rack is needed. Looks like this is pretty much permanent once installed?

[@azazelone905]

Truly blown away by your company... I’m planning on buying. I just have to slip it by the wife without her noticing. 😆

[@woodstk70]

I have been looking at your ACS rack for my 2018 Ram 1500 with the 5' 7" bed. I am wanting a rack to be able to carry me gear yet still be able to haul my 50 inch wide Can Am Outlander.. I am not sue that your current rack leaves enough width to be able to do this. Are the dimensions of the new rack going to allow for an ATV?

[@LeitnerDesigns]

Hi Robert...For the new ACS Forged you can visit our website and go to the SHOP - Active Cargo System - RAM - then find your truck model in the specs and there is a schematic there that shows all the dimensions...The Classic version width is almost exactly the same dimensionally. However, if you have a RAM Box the rack will not be able to mount | www.LeitnerDesigns.com

[@bubblebutt4201]

Do you guys have a model that works for a 2008 regular cab Tacoma with the decked drawer system

[@LeitnerDesigns]

It's based on bed length....so short and long bed...but yes we do. Please visit: www.LeitnerDesigns.com under "Active Cargo System" "Toyota" and you can find your truck there, and place an order if you like. Our product is "Decked" friendly and many of our customers run our rack with the Decked drawer system. Please call our customer support number if you have any further questions or comments. Thank you for watching !!

[@MrGhendri]

I just ordered a F250 Tremor all blacked out. Are the forged units in stock in 10 weeks?

[@LeitnerDesigns]

That's going to look amazing !! Stay up to date with all things Leitner by joining our newsletter on our site: www.LeitnerDesigns.com

[@MrGhendri]

Leitner Designs thank you. The forged ACS arrived just prior to the shutdown and I only got to make one trip to the beach. The instructions were very well written and it was a “no drama” install. Here is a quick look at my truck at sunrise. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJrCZoeYpb2Xj6c
