    Yes it came from the factory. Ive read the only way to get it now is to order it as individual replacement pieces for it but it ends up being expensive as hell. I think the reason they don't sell the rack now is because the trucks that came factory with them have reinforced roofs that the other don't have. It took to long to reinforce the roof so they only produced them for a couple years.

    its lookin like that for my truk because i dont have a reinforced roof or whatever so im kinda runnin out of options. i just wanted more of a factory look. i dont care for the way the yakimas look too much.

    i mean its not bad, i just prefer the factory look of the toyota one. im still lookin at them as an alternative. they come in handy, but i mean its not like if u got the factory one you cant get whatever adaptors you need. i do like the fj rims tho. those toyo mts on there too?

    I almost took the roof rack off the same day I got the truck. I kept it on because I dont see them very often and I thought it may grow on me. Well I was right Im glad I kept it on makes it stand out a little more than ones without it. If I do take it off though I dont think ill ever have trouble selling it.

    i didn't see this answered yet, but you don't connect the hose to the stock breather, you buy a new npt plug that's the same threads...

    something like this - i think the P/N# is the same for first gens... but you may want to fact check that.
