Roof Rack

Don’t let the antenna comments scare you. Some customers are saying you have to cut a notch for the antenna to fit and if you follow the instructions, you just might. Pro tip: assemble the rack on the ground per the directions but leave the rearmost piece off. After the rack is mounted on the roof (but not torqued), THEN add the final rear piece. Due to the shape of the shark fin, it’s difficult to finagle the entire rack system around it without scratching the paint so some customers are reaching for the grinder. Do it my way and you’re golden. Also, the directions says it takes 40 minutes to install. It probably would have if the surface coating wasn’t globbed on around the bolt holes, making it difficult to get the bolt threads started. Leaving bolts threaded into the holes before surface coating would solve this. Kind of a pain but still it only took about 2 hours by myself. Aside from that, I’m super stoked with this rack. Inexpensive and looks aggressive.

Very good quality

Arrived in a timely manner in perfect condition. Installed it by myself. Assembled it with all bolts slightly loose. Put it on cab of 2009 Tacoma and tightened it down. Fit great and is quiet at high speed. Highly recommend.

This rack is similar in design to some well known “name brand” racks. Biggest difference is this one uses steel for the fairing and side panels. It’s heavier, but it’s also a couple hundred dollars less expensive. Packaging was a little skimpy, a few pieces were scratched up in transit. Some of the threads on the aluminum crosspieces were coated with the textured finish, which prevented the bolts from threading on. Cleaning the threads was kind of a pain. Once installed, the back fairing rubbed up against the shark fin, had to grind out a ~1/4” radius to get it to fit. Touched up the cut and scratches with black enamel before reinstalling. Overall: This rack is solid, has minimal wind noise, with plenty of room to add on accessories and cargo. This is a great option for an off-road style rack if you’re willing/capable of doing some modifying. If you’re not very handy this is probably not for you.

Looks great on my tacoma and took me about an hour to install by myself. find the youtube videos for quick instructions. the other brands are 700-900 bucks. this one cost less than half and has the same features and looks. unless you are rich, i would recommend this roof rack! with the saving I bought two containers and will mount them ups soons! I bought these tslots and they work for me! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B088WV5KZT?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

Good workmanship, fit like glove. A bit of wind noise at 60 MPH. I got used to it though. Highly recommended..

Coating got into some of the threads so the bolts were hard to start, but fit well.

Rack is honestly sturdy and well made but no matter how much you try to stop it rain gets into the cab and soaks your floor, I have sealed it with silicone 2times now and both times have failed to stop water from coming in, wouldn’t recommend
