    So, to start off with, I have no roof rack as it is. As it sits, I have a 50" Hella LED bar mounted over my windshield with relentless fabrication light bar brackets... I'm looking to get rid of the HElla led bar and brackets and invest in a roof rack that is sturdy, low profile and can mount a 30-40" led bar onto as well as other accessories if needed. Post some pictures of the racks you guys have and your set up with average cost as well!

    I have OEM rack. I attach a Thule rack I think it's the 480r with cross bars for a Thule Hullivator to carry a Kayak. OEM rack $150 installation $100. Thule rack and Hullivator about $700-$900.

    Rigid A Series. I like the natural white high output ones. Have them on my rear bumper and my canopy. Expensive, but worth it.

    They are great, you can find them on Amazon. I think $140 for a pair.

    Looks like a AR-15 rail for your truck! Nice! I feel enlightened now! Thanks!

    I'm defenitly starting to like the look of the Prinsu rack.. with the integrated wind shield that is cut out for the light bar. Has anyone load tested them? Are they strong enough to support a human being?

    I climb on mine all the time.
    Many put RTTs on theirs.

    As far as I know Prinsu has the:
    lightest weight
    lowest profile
    Best look

    Of all available Tacoma options.

    Workin' on it....
    Also one of the cheaper options. For the price of a single Front Runner rack you can (not quite, but almost) get both a Prinsu Cabrac and Toprac.

    Shipping alone offsets any additional costs.

    Looks approximately 660$ for the Prisnu shipped to Florida.. not too bad! then looking at a heretic 40" led bar.. 725 alone. Probably will end up ordering the rack and selling my light bar and mounts then eventually getting the bar the rack.
