    Was looking into getting a set of THULE roof racks and fairing and using them with my OEM tacoma roof racks. I have seen one member on here with a MGM DCLB TRD Sport with OEM roof racks with THULE fairing and roof racks at the same time.

    What sized fairing should I get? What crossbars and traverse feet should I get to fit with my OEM roof racks?

    Fairings wont fit to the stock rack its to low. Also my ski racks wont fit to the stock rack because its to low. If you use the stock rack on the sides and get cross bars that are higher you can use a fairing.

    Gotcha, I saw a post last week on here where a guy made a thule fairing work on his factory racks, I'm sorry I didn't sub it, so you'll have to search.

    There is also a post here sharing what fairing size to use, I think that guy went with Medium fairing.

    If you were talking about my truck, I don't have the OEM/Factory rack.

    In any case, I have the 52" fairing, if you wanted to compare sizes.
