    *I am in no way affiliated with Eezi Awn or Equipt Expedition Outfitters, just excited about a new roof rack option for our 2nd gen's*

    Those that recognize the name know they are the gold standard of overland rack systems. The cruiser and rover guys have had this option for a long time now. The clean lines, high strength, mounting versatility, and superior quality make this one of the best rack platforms available.

    I've recently been in contact with Paul May of Equipt Expedition Outfitters about this kit (US distributor for Eezi Awn) after seeing the Tacoma on the web series Xpedition Overland outfitted with a K9 rack.

    The Tacoma kit is FRESH off the presses and should be added to their website any day now (you can order by phone now). Kit includes the platform 1250x1400mm (50"x55"), (6) feet, a pair of 1400mm rails (contour matched to the roof channels of the tacoma & bolts to factory mounting points). Price is $1050 w/ free shipping.

    I'm definitely going with this setup on my '15.

    Here are some more pictures:

    The rack looks solidly built & I like the slim LED lights on the track. Well implemented.

    However, what justifies the $1050 price tag? I'm assuming the LEDs are an additional cost.

    Correct the LED strip is not included.

    To quote Eezi Awn's website: "Remember that long after the sweetness of price is gone - Quality prevails."

    While I see your point (the price is twice that of a Baja Rack) however it also is several hundred cheaper than Gobi.

    The product is imported from South Africa so that probably adds cost as well.

    Yep... Nice looking rack but doesn't look much different than the FrontRunner I've got. Plus the amount of available options for the FrontRunner and the price difference would turn me away from that rack. But I'm a little biased.

    EDIT: In fact it looks as though they kind of copied a few features from FrontRunner
