    Sneak Peek into the rack installed today on the "Rigid Industries" 2018 Tacoma. Will work with the 40in Single row as well as the E Series. Final pics will be posted with the adapt series

    Thanks to RIGID INDUSTRIES for an awesome partnership. More products to come for the Rigid Tacomas

    Looks VERY similar to Prinsu. o_O Are you using the same concept of 80/20 type crossbars mounted to the aluminum side frames?

    It looks good, even if familiar. Will it be available without the light bar cutout?

    Yes you can get the rack with out the light cut outs. That is the typical style that we offer, and this is going to be a new offering to the market.

    The 80/20 style T slot material is very versatile in rack designs that is why it is used in so many different applications. Also works really well with E track and other other attachments for your needs.

    We use the 1/4 inch Aluminum panels on the sides as well as the rack is very adjustable both up and down and forward and back.

    @RPMFAB I'd be interested in seeing how the Camper Shell rack mounts to the shell. Prinsu's mounts have problems with some of shells due to their curvature so I'll like to see how you approached this problem in more detail.

    The double cab is 699.99 with Powder coat and black T-SLot.


    The Group Buy is currently at 10% discount but I think after this weekend it will be at the 15% for the Forum Members.

    @RPMFAB can you post a close up picture of the actual mounts used to attach the rack to the camper shell tracks?

    I don't think they have a patent or do they? Kinda ridiculous and impossible to enforce without an army of bored underemployed lawyers

    They wanted to give people space to try to copy your lighting setup :thumbsup:

    a few...
    Saw that right away...WTH?

    Plus based on my current Rigid Industries light on the front end of my Tacoma I have ~50,000 lumens on Rigid lighting...don’t need the roof rack set-up for additional lighting :)
