Found a budget Prinsu rack for those that are looking (comes with LED lights!), it seems to be well rated aside from the installation.

$400 Hooke Road Tacoma Double Cab Top Roof Rack Cargo Carrier for 2005-2023 Toyota Tacoma 2nd 3rd Gen Truck (Double Cab Only)

I don't know... looking through that, and knowing how good my Prinsu is, I have absolutely zero regrets. Especially having the slim light bar that doesn't get in the way of anything I load or mount on top.

Edit: the ratings on any site I ignore, especially after the other day working on an investigation into a few companies. I found the person had created hundreds of accounts to give ratings and reviews of his service. He was smart about it though, and some indicated issues that got resolved and such, so as to not give the appearance of being too "perfect".

 

Yikes...


well at leas it's not photoshopped on...

 

I did say budget

It's almost half the price of a prinsu so you gotta give it some room for suckage

Edit: see this entire thread on it

not sure how i feel about that Amazoom one to be honest. I'm sure it's fine by what the reviews all call out. and for a lot of people that keep nothing more than a gun case or 2 up there i'm sure it'll be fine. oh btw @Tech HoFFinaTor you get the new rack for the tire yet?
For the time being i've been looking for a roof rack that acts like the OEM one where it swings over but nothing exists other than that. But with the dropped off CAD plans we have, i had something in mind for it but need to figure out how to do the thing i want it to do.

in terms of weight. it'll probably at most hold a canoe. other than that - it'll be empty....

 

That is entirely way too much suckage for that price point! I have had mine for 2 and a half years and I paid just a bit more than that shipped to Port Huron, MI and paying taxes on import.

Honestly I'd love to have a rack like that but wheeling and mud..... I can't see how anyone would keep their truck clean with that thing on the top.

 

Truck, clean. Those 2 words need not belong together.

 

I disagree

Pressure washer with a foam cannon would be a must

 

I'm only 5'5
pressure washer. foam cannon anddddddd. ladder.

 

i have a regular hose and a foam cannon, can i join?

 

I guess some people do care about a clean truck!

My truck only gets used to get dirty, washing it would be all my free time.

F that noise.



*Edit*
I am still day dreaming about my night snow wheeling, omg I could not wait to get back out in the snow with my rig.

 

I finally left the house yesterday after work to try and find some snow, finally found an unplowed plot of land I tried to get stuck in (didn't get stuck) annndd I got home to find out my dashcam hasn't recorded anything in months...

 

Better to find out now, then when you need it!@

I can help you get stuck

Truck might get dirty though, WATCH OUT

 

you'd be good friends with @daks

 

a little late but funny to see people talking about Chickenpee. Didn't think that there were people THAT local. One of my buddies runs the tube park there.

 

Jesus christ 5x dish soap washes and 1x carpro reset, 2000 grit sandpaper and 12x DA passes...

Theres some overkill in there for sure but I'll be friends with anyone that knows of carpro

 

Yall make washing ur trucks way too hard. just get a good gas pressure washer, keep cranking up the pressure till paint starts to flake, back off 1/4 turn. Use all your spare time after to thank me.

 

You have any ins on discount tubing rides? Trying to setup a socially distanced extended family Christmas gathering. Not trying to scam or ripoff, but I know the profit margin on snow tubing is pretty stout.
