    Prinsu makes a rack with an optional built in space for a lightbar, looks really nice.

    Thanks for the laugh. Reminding me that Tacomas have a sunroof. I guess it makes a good escape hatch.

    But on another note on my Honda, I barely ever opened my sunroof more than to crack it open as a vent and as long as you don't get a low profile mounting rack yo umay still be able to to open it. I had bike trays on my roof and I could still open it. Prinsus may be pretty low though.

    Also from what I have heard mounting light bar to rack is the best way to go. I hear they can rub or vibrate when just mounted at ends.

    I do long drives to work 6 hours plus I like the fresh air from the sunroof I usually keep it open unless it's raining

    Aren't the prinsu cross bars adjustable so you can position them where you want? Can't you leave the one out that covers the sunroof?

    Pretty sure the Prinsu will work with sun roof. You could juse remove the bar (or two??) that covers the opening. They are able to be end-user customized in that way, just bolts together.



    Unsubbed.

    A few additions to make me feel cool.
    I am surprised no one has made a panel to replace that chin under the bumper that takes a light bar.

    Prinsu Cabrac WILL work with sunroof. your sunroof is internal when it retracts = no interference. the bars are also adjustable so move them around until you are happy and into a spot they dont interfere with the sunroof when you crack it and it moves upwards

    The cross bars are moveable on the prinsu so you can put them where you want them... i have the caliraised 52" lightbar kit and love it. Sits just above the rearveiw.
