    Started building my roof rack that mounts ontop of my oem rack rails. I wanted a low profile look so I got 1"x1" square tubing 1/16" wall and 1.25" tubing 1/8" wall, total cost less then $50.

    IMG_20150904_174300929.jpg

    Got my TRD stickers on and my rack finished with my side lights mounted:
