Reputable online shops

I'm fairly new to the Tacoma scene. I'm currently looking for a roof rack and came across some online shops where I saw a rack that fits my needs. Wanted to come here and see if anyone has any experience with the following online shops.

The first one is OffRoadTents.com and the other is OneStopOverland.com

And if it helps, I'm looking specifically at the Eezi Awn K9 roof rack.

Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

 

I assume anyone stocking the Eezi Awn is just going to drop ship it to you from the manufacturer. Pay with a credit card so you can cancel if needed, but you should be safe to order.

 

Hi OP:

I purchased my Eezi-Awn 3rd gen K-9 Spine Rack for my 2017 Tacoma Off-Road from Equipt Outitters in Salt Lake City, UT (the exclusive USA distributor). This is a new “kit” by Equipt that combines several products. I was one of the first purchasers. The link to the product is https://www.equipt1.com/collections...oducts/toyota-tacoma-gen-3-spine-cab-rack-kit. The rack is currently out of stock, but as of 8/26/21, they are waiting on a container from South Africa. Eezi-Awn ships directly to them, they distribute.

Simply put, Equipt is an OUTSTANDING supplier. I’m very satisfied with the company and have now made multiple purchases. If they don’t have something in stock, it’s clearly indicated by their website. They have the BEST SHIPPING of all the suppliers I’ve dealt with. K-9 racks are welded, so they will ship to your closest Fed-Ex Freight facility for pick-up (check Fed-Ex Freight Service Centers at: https://www.fedexfreight.fedex.com/locations.jsp).

The K-9 rack is a BEAST. it’s a rock solid piece of gear. The spine supports attach to the truck with 8 bolts, all through factory roof gutter channel holes. The K-9 rack bolts to the spines with 12 more bolts. When together, it’s so solid you could probably use it as a winch attachment point to recover your truck from a ditch (mostly joking). Trimming the weather stripping is easy. The mounting is simple. Putting it together is HARD, because of wrenching angles and room. I cursed it as I mounted it. BUT, when I was done, it was WORTH IT. Stand in the bed to reach stuff best. Here are some pics:
