    2003 3.4 v6 tacoma 4wd crew cab black
    Hey guys I am new to the forum I have a 2003 3.4 liter v6 4wd dual cab with 108k on the dash. My question is about bed racks...I am looking for something I can use on my camping/overlanding trips that would be flush with the roof to reduce any wind drag. I don't mind drilling a few holes as long as everything is sturdy and looks clean, any suggestions would be appreciated. Currently I am looking at heavy metal off roads 21 inch dual bed bars my only hang up is they are not specified for a gen 1. I don't want to order them and have them arrive and not fit or hang off the lip of the bed rails or anything. . . if anyone has experience with these on a gen 1 let me know. My other option would be to go with an all pro off road rack but I would have to get that fabricated since I have no experience welding. linking image of the bed racks below for reference.[​IMG]
