HOOKE ROAD Roof Rack...............Ubox-offroad.com

Oh yeah sorry. I'm really digging this rack.

 

Now weather to hot for the wife to camp but we planning a trip to fully test out the camping rig
I'll be posting pic soon

 

I would like a rtt on there but I think it would be very tall since I have a 6" lift and 35s lol

 

U could do a bed RTT rack system

I'm about 4 inch lift

 

Yeah I saw that one. Nobody has reviewed it. I might go that route instead of a roof rack or both for the price of one roof rack lol

 

PMd

 

I've done some research, but havent found a weight limit when parked. Does it seem pretty sturdy? Also, what kind of lights came with it?

 

Cant help you with the weight limit but there are pics of the lights included on post #315 & #318

 

I stood on mine the other day and jumped up and down. Just to see how sturdy it was. Didn't move an inch

 

Badass. I would like to get a RTT eventually but right now ill probably add an awning are there mounts for that or rotopax?

 

That I don't no. I'd like an awning and a rtt. I'd assume you can mount one no issue maybe just drill a hole Or two

 

Eh. I dont like to drill, have it welded or brackets/mounts. I might call the manufacturer and see if i can get any answers.

 

The back two supports with the shark fin cutouts are weak! Looking at modifying, fabricating new ones, or trying to order just the back two supports without cutouts, unless someone wants trade. I have an 08' no shark fin.

 

Just ordered my second roof rack for my shell. Can’t wait to get it installed.

 

Some update after mounting this rack on my 3rd Gen Taco. First week I had it on was a pain because there was still noticeable wind noise even with the Cowles edge trim mounted on the front wind deflector. It was driving me bananas. There was still a tiny gap between my roof and the edge trim even though they were touching. Did a little digging and read that Prinsu rack owners also had similar problems, and recommended using this weather stripping

It immediately fixed the issue. I also made some modifications and covered the wind deflector cutouts with Lexan to stop the whistling noise. It did the trick. I used a dremel to cut it to size. Probably would have been more accurate if I used a jigsaw. I’ll be painting the Lexan to match the powder coating when I get a chance. After fixing the issues, I have no regrets.

 

Just found this existed and trying to decide whether to get this one or just buy the OEM roof rack....don't need to haul anything heavy up there but I like the way it looks....hmmmm decisions decisions.

 

OEM is probably more aero dynamic but these types of racks look way better up top.

 

If you don't haul heavy stuff then this will be overkill for you.

 

My RTT is on a bed rack and really the only thing up there would be a ski rack with surf rods in them and I'd like to get an awning. Brand new price for the OEM is around the same price. I'd maybe carry a kayak up there when I buy one this fall also. Only thing I'm worried about is the door seal rubbing the clear coat off on the front of the roof.

 

Trade you my OEM rack for your rubber drip moldings on top. Cheapest I can find is like $75 a side and the Hooke rack looks bad without them
