ADD Adds Form & Function to Your Off-Road and Overlanding Games

It’s hard to believe that Addictive Desert Designs (ADD) has only been around since 2007. While many aftermarket manufacturers—especially in the bumper market—come and go, few have achieved the name recognition that ADD has garnered. And to do it in less than 15 years is quite a feat. With a savvy combination of out-of-the-box designs, great social presence, a vast video library, and made-in-the-USA quality, ADD continues to catapult itself into the premium bumper conversation for any 4×4 build.

But ADD has branched out into other accessories as well. Thanks to its expertise in metalworking, the company fabricates strong and stylish step systems, wheels, and tire carriers. One sector in particular that seems to be picking up traction as of late is truck bed bars/racks.

Off-Road Ready

The products may go by several different aliases—roll bars, bed bars, chase racks, sport racks—but they’re starting to pop up more on pickups, especially the mid-size segment. Creating a nice sporty liaison between the bed and the cab, they also add mounting options for lighting and accessories. And, if you’re in the market, ADD has quite a few options.

Whatever look or function you’re going for, the ADD PRO, Stealth Fighter, and HoneyBadger truck racks have you covered.

PRO Chase Rack

With a sleek, low-profile design, the ADD PRO Chase Rack perfectly complements the curve of your truck’s roof, making it look like factory equipment. The light hoop sports five individual mounts that can accommodate a variety of round lights. Better yet, the hoop is electronically actuated, allowing you to tuck the lights away when not in use. This ensures that added height never becomes a problem. Thanks to an easy-to-use clamp mounting system, no modifications are necessary to install.

Stealth Fighter Chase Rack

The Stealth Fighter is a lightweight chase rack that gives your truck a unique style without adding bulk. The fully bolt-on design creates an easy installation with no drilling required. Mounting slots on the upper piece allow you to add extra lighting with a light bar. Plus, third brake light function is fully retained and no bed space is sacrificed.

HoneyBadger Chase Rack

Mix and match your way to the ultimate chase rack! The HoneyBadger‘s modular design allows you to add what you want, where you need it, with three key components: base rack, tire carrier, and roof rack. With an optional tire carrier and roof rack add-on, you can add as much utility as you want.

Overland-Equipped

What if you’re the adventurer truck owner type, and overlanding is more your speed?

While smaller and mid-size SUVs seem to be the premier vehicles for overlanding rigs, it’s hard to match the versatility that a pickup brings to the table. Sure, the footprint may be a bit larger, but the storage a truck bed provides makes life a lot easier when deciding what tools or luxuries need to be left at home.

Added space is certainly an advantage, but for those planning to turn their pickup into a wilderness warrior, there is one more essential piece of kit that needs to be considered…

While they’re not a must, the rooftop tent is widely considered as the best option for your build’s sleeping quarters. They’re generally more convenient and space-saving when compared to a traditional ground-pitched option—and who isn’t looking to save time and frustration on the trail?

But truck owners don’t have the luxury of slapping on a simple pair of sturdy cross members that SUV owners do. Sure, you could use the bed itself as a… bed, but once again, that eliminates valuable cargo space. As we covered in our rooftop tent guide, the best solution for truck owners is an over-bed rack. And Addictive Desert Designs has just what you need for your full- or mid-size application.

ADD-Lander Overland Rack

The ADD-Lander Overland Rack combines function, form, and fit into one complete solution. Tube and plate steel provide the utmost in sturdiness, while adding the versatility you’ll need miles away from civilization. The top tubes and cross rails give your tent a flat, solid place to mount even the heaviest rooftop tent units—soft or hard. And since it sits neatly below and inside the silhouette of your cab, it will cut down on wind resistance and noise without a top-mounted load.

Slotted mounting holes create not only a unique look that is distinctly ADD, but also add a bevy of mounting or anchoring points for accessories and tie-downs. And no rack would be complete without a spot to affix your popular RotoPAX accessories. Mount your liquid packs or traction boards on either side of your rack with optional RotoPAX mounting plates.

With no drilling or cutting, the ADD-Lander rack can easily be removed so your truck can resume its load-carrying duties the Monday after your trip. And perhaps best of all, the ADD-Lander Overland Rack is designed and made right here in the USA by Addictive Desert Designs’ expert team of engineers and metal workers.

• 2015+ Ford F-150/2017+ Ford Raptor (Part: C118822000103)
• 2020-2021 Jeep Gladiator JT (Part: C978832000103)
• 2005-2021 Toyota Tacoma (Part: C698832000103)
