    Of course!..... But we are not posting those up yet. We will have everything on our site shortly.

    I can say that each bracket is one piece of formed, laser cut, and powder coated stainless steel. It utilizes all 5 mounting points on each side. The load of the rack is placed on these rails and aluminum spacers in the gutter, it does not touch the roof. It is unlike anything we have ever made before, and we cannot wait to put it out there!

    Cool - so you utilize the front factory mount (2 holes) rear factory mount (2 holes) and the unused center (1 hole) on each side?

    Do you have capacities you recommend for static and dynamic loads?

    Correct, we use all of the holes you listed.

    The tray is rated to hold 660 lbs. But the weight load should never exceed the Tacomas load rating (not sure what that is).


    Also, I just got the ok to show our bracket photos, I will have them up by the end of the day!

    great! I think Toyota only gives a 200lb dynamic load rating for their roof rack.

    Like tomesd posted we can do canopy kits sure. They are a bit universal, so I would need some specs on the top.

    I would entertain the thought of a group buy in the future, but I honestly do not have enough of these coming over to support a large buy right now.

    A very nice looking rack. I like that it's aluminum (wont rust) and all the mounting holes are used. Very nice! :)

    Does the roof rack require you to have the stock roof strips in place?

    Yeah it does. I went to Overland Expo in Mormon Lake, AZ this past weekend and met the reps and looked at their rack. It's super nice, very modular and very well built. Pricey, but well worth it.

    Edit: you don't have to have the rubber roof strips in but, you can't have them covered by the OEM rack for example, because like the OEM rack, it mounts to the bolt holes under the strips.

    MrGrimm, technically you do not need the factory rubber strips, but it would look much better with them.

    Tactical Tacoma, thanks for coming over and meeting with us, and thank you for the compliment on our racks!

    I think that when we consider how much a rack costs, you have to keep in mind the materials and quality of the build. Our rack is made of 100% extruded aluminum, and our mounting plates are made of lazer cut stainless steel. The entire system is also powder coated, includes wind deflectors (also stainless) and includes all hardware. Our rack is also manufactured in South Africa with top quality materials. We feel that $789 for this complete with Free Shipping is a great price!
    :cheers:

    FRSteve, how long would it take to receive once ordered?

    I am looking to order that rack along with a hi lift mount, a bike mount and some of the black tie downs.

    Also, do the rotopax mounts bolt up to your roof racks?

    MrGrimm, we have them in stock and ship the same day as long as you order before 12PM. You did not mention where you would be ordering from, but we ship from Los Angeles. (Edit: I noticed you were in San Clemente, you would see your order within 1-2 days)

    I am not sure how the rotopax mount, but I am sure they can be easily adapted. Our racks are extremely versatile. Thanks!

    Man.... I'm undecided about this rack. I have the OEM rack and really like it but I like this rack as well. I can see mounting a slim LED light bar across the front and my Kayaks up there also. Silly question but do you know if it blocks the XM antenna?

    As far as your price. I couldn't agree more. That seems like a hell of a deal for a quality rack and all that you have put into it. You would never hear me complain about the price.

    Thanks in advance!
