To roof rack or not that is the question

I've been considering whether or not to put a roof rack on my double cab. The only one i've seen is the OEM rack. Any suggestions or opinions as to whether it's worth the expense

 

hey there... where in VA are you located??

i've got the factory roof rack on mine... in my opinion it looks nice... but unless you purchase a basket or something else to attach to it its pretty useless on its own... would work great for hauling snowboards/skis or a kayak or something of that nature though.

 

I'm in Wise County, getting snowed on.

 

And by the way, that's a nice looking blue truck.

 

if i was putting one on,it would b the oem one.i really like the way they look.

 

I also want an OEM one, i have been trying to find someone that wants to get rid of theirs and trade my trim strips to them . No luck yet!

 

It's not for me by themselves, but if you were to throw a basket or cross beams then it would even out.

 

that might b a hard find.most people that have them want them, ya no.good luck on your search though.

 

Is the install something better left to the dealer or can an average joe handle the job

 

thanks! yea we just started getting a few flurries here...

 

what?

 

install is a piece of cake.. takes like 15-20 mins..

 

Any one know of any nice cross bars or baskets

 

I don't like the way the truck looks with just the stock rails.

If you put a basket up there full of awesomeness then I like it.

 

hopefully pretty soon i'm gonna start offering a custom made basket that will hug the roof of the truck... but at this rate no telling how long it will take for me to get it done..

 

oh,gotcha now.

 

Maybe i could be a product tester for that new roof basket.
