    Hey dudes --

    Just installed my camper shell and was wondering if there are any basket roof racks out there that will span the full length of the truck cab + camper shell?

    In retrospect, this may look completely retarded, so please feel free to talk me out of it, but I think it might look cool.

    Also, while we're at it, what are the most popular basket roof racks out there for us taco owners?

    Landcrusiers 80 series BajaRack is pretty long at 82" but idk if thats long enough, and ofcourse you'll have to modify it.

    If you do go through with it, make sure that it is only mounted to the cap and not both the cab and cap.

    The bed flexes independently of the cab which could rip your mounts off if you decided to bolt both (cab/cap) together to the rack...

    Just something to take into consideration
