Access Cab roof rack

Need one up front for a light bar I need some pics for ideas before i ruin my roof

 

Since you're thinking about an expedition rig, have you considered a bed rack that sits high enough to mount forward facing lights onto? That would save you from drilling your roof. Otherwise, check out Thule or Yakima racks for fitment that won't require drilling.

 

I dont mind drilling and or welding. But I have to have the bed free as the bike(s) go back there

 

Hi, yeah finding a roof rack for the Xtra cab can be a short search, not many really sturdy options IMHO, I designed mine and had a local fab shop do the work for me. My main purpose for my rack was to car my lights and eventually my HI-Lift jack and other light duty stuff
here is one of the pics



and a slight close up

 

That is way more than I need. I keep getting the can name confused lol. I need to get something in CAD

 

What about something like a ladder/lumber rack with a piece that goes over the cab. Like this:

Looking for more along the lines of this

 

Well I guess that's a little more discreet...

 

I had something on my old Tacoma for a light bar. It was a CARR light bar. Worked pretty well. You have to drill 4 holes on both sides.

 

Every time you post I open my wallet. I love that! That is exactly what I am looking for!!!
Is this it?

Haha glad I can help!

That would be the one! Now on my 96 Tacoma I had to buy a gutterless mounting kit to go with it so I could install it. Now I'm not sure if it's the same for 01-04 Tacomas, so you'll want to do some research on their website first.

The cheapest I found it was on Amazon. I think I payed $120 for both the light bar and the special mounting kit I had to order.
