Let's talk roof racks

I have a Tacoma on order
Have a few questions about roof racks

Factory roof rack
1. I like the look
2. I like to have the option to put my bike on the roof but from what I understand it isn't that strong
3. I plan todo a kb voodoo mid height bed rack with ladder extension
It'd be nice to have a roof rack when hauling longer items to secure them past the 5 feet of bed rack
Also have a rtt on order

I've looked at the prinsu and have one in the cart but haven't pulled the trigger
I'm just not sure I'd put enough on it to justify the cost

Sorry for the scatter it's early and I need another coffee

 

Kbvodoo also has a bike mount for their rackor just do a hitch mount.
Other roof racks are prinsu , or frontrunner, or even yakima or thule

 

I have a hitch rack, not ideal for driving To work and parking in the city
Kbvoodoo's bike rack will happen I don't love taking the front tire off
Just curious as to people opinions of the factory roof rack
And or vs prinsu

 

I had a BAJA roof rack on my FJ, loved it! Very strong racks. I plan on getting one soon for my Tacoma

 

I have a prinsu, had it about 1.5 months now, dont know how i lived without it... if your doing an rtt the prinsu is a solid option for mounting water containers,road showers, storage bins,awnings,bike racks,kayak etc. I dont use it anywhere near its weight capacity except when i walk up there to check things out. Its pretty versatile.

 

Can you provide pics on how you're lights are routed from the roof rack?

 

I can provide later, but all i did was go to home depot and buy wire channel with sticky back, painted black and stuck along the rail going back to front in behind. routed wires through that and same down windsheild into engine bay. Cant even tell its next to the windsheild.

 

Very nice! Would love to have some side light flood mounting options. Will go with a roof rack in time.

I'll hope to eventually land a Prinsu/CBI as I can't shake seeing this image every time I see the factory roof rails

 

There are so many available mounting points on this rack, down the side rails alone i could put a 50" lightbar or a handfull of pods/6" bars. You wouldnt be disapointed with it.

 

Is Prinsu out of business or is that just an ugly rumor?

 

Name stays, but CBI Off-road bought them out

 

I know this has nothing to do with a roof rack but I have softopper bike rack mounts. I love them and very easy to take the bikes on and off. Attached is the link

It mounts on the bed rails and makes it really convenient to keep bed space and not as tall as a roof rack

 

What bed rack are you running, digging the look

 

Thanks, I made it.

 

Diggin the bronze volks...

 

Thanks, I wish they were volks though. They are SCS ray10's

 

Both are very sick rims,
