Alright, who's gonna be the first one with a CaliRaised roof rack?

They finally just released their new roof rack system today for double cab Tacomas only. Looks nice, they have two models with some cool features but it's all pretty similar to Prinsu but then again, how different can a roof rack be I guess?
Anyways, I'm just not a guinea pig type person so post up your pics and reviews once you get one... I'm getting a rack I just don't know which one yet.

Cali raised rack VS. Prinsu screenshots.

 

I thought they said it would be cheaper than a Prinsu....damn.

I need to see more pictures of it on a truck. I may like the Prinsu more as it doesn't seem as chunky.

 

These guys all somehow managed to make something different..

 

Just another copy, marked way up and probably made in China just like all there other crap products.

 

Yeah.. looks kinda like prinsu/victory but with an ugly front fairing I made in high school metal shop

 

Wind noise on those must be apocalyptic lol

And most of them are like double the price

 

Theirs looks the same, but has one major different feature. The light bar cutout opens and closes if anyone cares about that...

They're not made in China. They have a fab shop in Fort Worth, TX. I've visited and they regularly post on IG of the fab process. For sure, their lights are made in China, I asked about that one.

 

Why the hate .

 

Since when is the truth, hate?

 

I surrender. Too much hate man. Chill out

 

Pretty sure their stuff is fabbed in-house in Texas. You can follow their IG to see their work. I could be wrong and just the roof rack is made in China.

 

I remember when CORE made the first Prinsu rip-off back in 2016, they were really ahead of their time..

 

Are we gonna have to create a Prinsu Fanboy subforum?

 

way ahead of you..

Facts are bad.

 

These racks are usually just laser cut aluminum side pieces and then extrusions from tnutz.com or 8020.com. They may have the plates made in Texas, but I’m sure if they can farm it out to China they will. All legal and I could care less what they do or how they make a profit. I just think it’s another over priced copy and most of their products are Chinese copies. If they actually took time to come up with a new design then the price would make sense, but just to copy something already on the market and still want top dollar is shitty. But again good on them if they get those prices for them.

 

Looks cool with the pod cut outs but price seems steep. Cross bars are in fixed positions unlike the prinsu. Might be an issue if you have a sunroof. At least with the prinsu you can move the bar back slightly so its out of view if you have your sunroof open.

Also, are those cutouts for standard pods or will you have to buy the $300 add on pods to fit the cut outs ?

 

Hi everyone! I see their are many questions regarding the roof rack. To start off, we do have two options our 1) Premium 2) Economy.

1) The Premium roof rack has an industry first, our roof rack features the all-new Adjustable LED Wind Deflector (ALWD). The ALWD will allow your LED bar to stay protected behind our adjustable fairing when not in use, keeping you street legal and reducing almost all wind noise from the rack while driving Once you hit the trail, you can adjust your ALWD to the down position in 30 seconds or less, revealing your LED bar and allowing it to shine down the trail while also preventing unwanted hood glare. This is solving a lot of issues right off the bat and creating a new solution. The rack also offers two option a standard (smooth sides) or a 360 degree lighting configurations (cutouts for LED's on all sides). Allowing customization for more lighting options if needed. Last, will be a back cover to offer a low profile design and close everything off while offering another location for bed/scene lights.

2) The Economy roof rack is the version of our premium roof rack. It is a simplified version with a fixed front LED fairing for those that don't desire the adjustable version. Combine our roof rack with our great selection of high-power LED lights to get the best performance and fit without breaking the bank.

All Racks include FREE shipping and NO tax. Our goal is after our presale, is to carry all of these in stock to avoid lead times. Our roof rack is fully CAD-designed and manufactured in the USA and is ready to tackle the road and trail with ease.

3) Our presale is going on right now at 15% off all roof racks until December 15th.

Please feel free to ask any questions. We are super excited to bring two different versions of racks to the market and provide high quality product.
