    After scouring countless threads about racks I think I have narrowed my search down to these three options. Why not go with the most popular Prinsu offering?? Looks..... I hate the way the fairing corners are open and almost look to hang out... Also, not sure if it is the install, but the fairing doesn't always look to hug the roof and stick out some... Prefer a clean look of a close hugging fairing that is well tailored on the sides as well.

    So after looking at countless options on the net I have narrowed it down to these (3) choices unless someone convinces me otherwise.


    Westcott Designs - https://westcottdesigns.net/product/toyota-tacoma-3rd-gen-modular-roof-rack/
    AL Off-Road - https://aloffroadusa.com/products/onyx-black-2nd-3rd-gen-toyota-tacoma-roof-rack
    Victory 4x4 - https://www.victory4x4.com/product/VT23RK.html (has a similar fairing to Prinsu)


    Anyone running these racks with good or bad feedback about the rack, shipping, customer service??

    Leaning heavily toward the Westcott......

    Check out Nash Fab Co as well. My personal favorite in terms of appearance.

    Westcott hands down the fit and finish is great and road noise is minimal which was a huge factor for me. The westcott fairings hug the roof lines better. A close second for me was Sherpa though FWIW.

    I have looked at their, but wasnt fond of their fairing bump out...

    Going to check that out, thank you!

    This is what I like to hear and my Taco OR is white as well, so similar look! Looked at Sherpa but wasn't super thrilled with their fairing either. Maybe I am just too picky...

    Yeah the bottle opener is a nice touch too. I wrapped the roof in black to match and as an added layer of protection too.
