    Bed cap, roof rack, bed build, SOS sliders, and ARB awning.
    Looking to mount my Thule rack on my DCLB. It does not have the OEM rack. Is there a podium I can use to mount to the holes that are underneath the rubber strip on the roof? I saw it on a couple trucks wondering what they used.

    Most likely the OEM rails with aftermarket crossbars. I believe the only aftermarket rack that mounts to the factory mounting holes would be a Baja Rack.

    Any landing pads you find that uses the factory holes in the rain channels are probably modded by the owners. 2nd Gen Tacomas DC that uses the Thule or Yakima racks uses the Q-clips to the door frame. The OEM racks are the only ones that use the factory pre-drilled holes in the channels. Some shops can install tracks in the cab and mount it simliar to racks installed on camper shells as in the discussion link below:
