Dealer accidentally installed the roof rack

My dealer messed up my order and when my 2016 was built it has the cargo rack that I did not want. I told them I would not pay for it and they agreed to leave it on the truck at no charge.

My question is what do you all use your Tacoma roof rack for. Should I just sell it or should I make it a useful tool on my truck?

 

Keep it. Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

 

1) Maxtrax
2) Rotopax
3) Thule Ski racks
4) RTT
5) endless possibilities

 

Keep it! Unless of course you dislike the look of your truck with it.

 

I bought mine after I bought the truck and definitely use it (kayaks/snowboards). It's more useful if you add a basket

 

Its free take it!

 

I would take it (it's free), sell it, and then get something better (see post #3)

 

All those are great ideas but I'm not sure there is a great way to attach those to the factory rack is there?

 

That's a different rack by @zscott at prinsu design. I'm not sure if he has mocked up a 3rd gen yet. @geekhouse23 was saying, keep what they gave you for free, sell them and use that money to buy one of Zach's racks.

I already have a bed rack build in the works for the 2016 with @zscott .

 

50" light bar....



its also nice if you get sliders or something to use as a handle for cleaning the roof

 

Nice. I have one of his bedracks on mine as well. Roof rack is on its way.

 

Has anybody ever mounted a second spare tire on the factory roof rack?

 

Yeah, I've seen it around here before.

Not a tacoma, but you can get the gist.

 

I added the factory rack to carry my kayak.
It is a handy thing to have and even better when it is a freebie

 

I"ll take if you don't like it
