    I highly recommend AL Offroad, can't say enough good things about Scott and AL Offroad.

    I have the Onyx roof rack along with the newly developed topper rack for my 3rd gen.

    Just finished installing this on a buddies taco. Good quality for sure. Main problem we faced was the little plastic spacers that need to be on the ends of each crossbar and the screws didn’t fit in the slots on side rails to screw into crossbars. We needed to pound them in and pull them while lining them up with plastic spacers to screw into cross bars. In the future could you eliminate the need for these spacers? And widen slots on side rails so screws can slide freely.

    We are eliminating the plastic end caps for the bars. They were a pain! As for the slots in the sides and the crossbar screws. We have been finding that the powder coating is a little thicker and has made it hard to get the screws in. We have kept them a very tight tolerance because we did not want the rack to be sloppy. But we are going to have to open that up a little it looks like.

    What are your thoughts on the quality and the look?

    Yes, they are a little bit of a pain but they were designed to keep the crossbars from scratching the inside of the rack side rails when you move your crossbars around. They could be left out if you wanted.

    There not spacers as much as they are caps to the crossbars.

    Nice rack! Thank you for putting the offer out there. It’s not the right time for me to drop the cash on a rack. I’ll keep you in mind when I’m ready.

    After reading the article linked on your site, and going to this article, I'm in for an ONYX rack. I think your fairing design looks like it's the tightest to the windshield and will have the least noise. PM me the details and I'll give you any information you need from me. Thanks for the group buy for TW Members!

    We have had two guys take advantage of this offer and both racks shipped within days of their order. @StealYourFace 's order just shipped out and his order is testing one of our new boxes.

    This is moving up the ladder of projects. We are getting more requests for this. Th problem is that I do not know anyone around me with an AC cab Taco to look at and get measurements.

    I will ship to Canada for a Regular $60 shipping cost. That is still a savings for $60 in the shipping cost to you. DM me and we can talk about the taxes and shipping.

    Pretty great deal. Surprised more people haven’t hopped on this considering all the good reviews. Glad I did and am looking forward to getting this on.
