1st Gen mods

Looking for roof racks for my 1st Gen. I have an 03 extended cab. Thanks for any help I can get. Currently looking at the one from Prinsu but I’m open to other options before I pull the trigger on that one

 

Don’t know much about roof racks.
But welcome to TW.

I have Smittybilt conpact Defender rack...it's more utilitarian looking than the Prinsu, not as sleek and refined. The Prinsus are nice for sure but a good bit more expensive

 

I heard 1st gen prinsus arnt really that great.

 

I can understand that, 1st gens aren't as sleek looking as 2nd and 3rd gens so it could look out of place

 

I heard the mounts are kinda sketchy

 

yakima looks sturdy.

 

For the money, Yakima is hard to beat. Solid and can be had for cheap if you're patient and look. I scored all my parts for my latest one from Craigslist. I'm in for $65 total. Rerack as mentioned above is another good resource.
Glad to help if you have any questions about what's what.

 

If I am looking on fb marketplace and craigslist for used Yakima, how do I know which ones fit? Are they universal for the most part?

 

If you are trying for the older Q tower system (Yakima) you'll need Q117 clips. They're not produced any longer but can be found on Ebay Craigs, etc.
