    I do not know of any off hand. Maybe check with @gmartin284 and see if something like this (https://martinor.com/shop/foundation-camper-rack) could be adapted to fit?

    Icons are easier at first glance, so if you have an icon....I'd vote for that. I'd rather a word than a mis-labeled icon. Would be bad to think you are turning on the winch and accidentally engage the lockers.

    + vote for having the same thought. Down vote for the blatant carbon copying of previously established products.

    Yeah, but Martin OR isn't the established company that Prinsu is, and therefore more likely to work with customers to make something that fits their need. Prinsu has gotten to the point where they have their mold and either you fit it or you find something else. There are trade-offs to both, and I feel like almost EVERY roof rack now is a direct copy of Prinsu, so I'm not too upset about that aspect.

    The only roofrack that is different is the front runner, and I've heard that it is exceptionally noisy on the hwy.

    Of course, Josh could get some aluminum and fab his own. I've seen the DIY roof rack builds that are also essentially copies of the Prinsu come out pretty nicely. This assumes that his regular cab has adequate mounting points.

    Sure most all those roof racks at their base level are the same; side plate with extrusion bars. The side plates/front air dam are where people can modify shape/design to ‘make it their own.’ Martin didn’t even have the creativity to do that. That’s what keeps me from supporting him as whole.

    Your point of him being smaller and potentially being open to some one off work has merit. At least then he might make something unique.

    I know they are a more generic company but I bet rhino rack makes their back bone and pioneer rack to fit a single cab.

    I have a front runner and can confirm it is beyond noisy on the highway. That being said I have safari bars around perimeter of mine and I am sure they don’t help. I will say it is extremely stout. I haven’t jumped around or walked on a prinsu but I can’t imagine them feeling more secure than the frontrunner.

    All my rigs are purpose built. From crawling to camping. I also enjoy a nice stock truck for what that’s worth. Toyota’s are the jam!
    Can someone get that number for me! These are what I want. Had them on my Gen2 taco.
    I don’t Facebook…help me get these wheels!

    I'm not either. I just search on there and then ask a friend to or @HashTaco if he can get it for me. He's our local Facebook marketplace rep haha.

    Tray Mountain Rd near Helen, trail was pretty easy. A small portion had some rutts, waterholes to run through, and a few offshoot spots that looked rough though. Got a nice open spot enough for at least 5-7 trucks next to a stream

    Nice man. Yeah I go up to tray regularly. Some of those off shoots are fun. I've done quite a few of them in a three inch lifted truck with a winch. I'm getting more armor specifically because there is one I want to tackle and it has some big rocks. Great place to camp though my favorite spot you park and hike to. The morning sunrise is pretty gorgeous from it.

    Is that the spot where they had a huge open parking area with some campsites, then you can take the appalachian trail up? We stopped and hiked it some till we got to this view, then went back down. I really should have hit some of those off shoots then since I'm at 4" in the front, plus 285/75/17 tires too, but no winch and only 2wd :/
