Roof Rack/Basket

Ive been searching through TW for pics of 3rd gen tacos with roof racks and only for 1 thread.
How many of you have roof racks or baskets? I am thinking of adding this to my todo list. Please include pics if possible, brand, and if you recommend it or not. Thanks for your help.

 

Well I think I've narrowed it down. I know I want a platform rack system. It a toss up between Rhino Rack Pioneer and Prinsu Rack. Any other options? Any ideas?

 

I have Yakima roof racks installed with 58" roundbars. I can take pictures of our when I get back from vacation Tuesday.

 

Go with Front Runner.

 

Warrior Products Platform Roof Rack

 

I went with the Prinsu after a lot of back and forth between brands. Zac on here was a big help. @zscott

 

this is my post on Rhino Rack, one of the tipping points on going with this more expensive setup (compared to Yakima, which is a great option), is that if my needs change I can easily add a Rhino Rack tray, the static bar position aligns to where it needs to be for their platforms to mount:

I had the Yakima load warrior , great rack, fits the roof nicely.

 

That is an option. But they are more expensive.

I read some reviews that said they are very noisy. Did you have any issues?

I'm leaning more towards a platform type rack. Just think it would suite my needs better. With more tie off points and with not having to land on a cross brace it would be easier to haul stuff up there.

 

That would be awesome. Thank you.



Thank you all for your replies. I will take each one into consideration. And please keep them coming.

 

For some reason they're site don't fit on my phone. I'll have to take out the laptop tomorrow.

 

So after pouring over tons of pics. Comparing racks, prices, attachments etc... I am pretty sold on the Prinsu Rack. Just have to get a couple more questions answered before I can pull the trigger. Here is my list so far.
About $500 cheaper than a couple of the competitors.

 

I just installed a frontrunner. 900 bucks all in. damn solid rack. and the customer service was great - i had a bunch of questions.

 

Was that just for the cab?

 

Yep. Sorry-I didn't look very closely at your order. Prinsu had a bit of a wait time if I remember correctly. I had the frontrunner at my door within a couple of days. I don't know anything about the Prinsu so have nothing bad to say about it. I can say the Frontrunner is Bitchin'. I think you could pick up the truck with it. It is SOLID.

 

Thanks for the info. I'll keep it in mind.
