    3” eibach lift, icon aal, spc upper control arms, mbrp exhaust.
    Anyone know where to order just the crossbars? Was looking at the 47” on Sherpa equipment.
    And where to order a wind fairing with a light bar cutout?

    @Tacoma091919 How are you feeling about this set up now? I am thinking about getting the cab & shell racks like you have. Truck looks good

    Absolutely love it. Gauge had just designed the topper rack mounts (previously using Smitty built or something) anyway, initially the racks were not level. I sent him some pics we exchanged a few emails and a new set of mounts were at my door a few days later. Keep in mind, fiberglass toppers are manufactured in a way that allows for some variation between units, even the same make and model. Now the racks are perfectly level and I’m very happy with them. The QC, packaging, and the customer service was beyond great. I think most of these racks are very similar, and use the same crossbars. The Martin Off-road version gets my recommendation on customer service alone. I don’t strap “over landing” gear on mine, they are there for kayaks, boats, or large materials. Best addition I’ve made after really scuffing up the roof on my 4runner.

    Where do you guys buy the M6 T Slot Nuts to use on the Martin rack?
    Did all kinds of searches with little results. I'd like the same M6 T Slot nuts that came with the rack, any recommendations?
    Thanks!

    Here you go! The second link is to the drop-in style tnuts I prefer to use for accessories. Let me know if you have any other questions!

    Ordered my Foundation Rack on Sunday! For those with one already, is there any spot to install scene pods or side lighting on this rack?

    The options for modding the rack as you see fit are nearly infinite. With the t-nut tracks you can mount anything anywhere. Look up some pictures lots of ways to add lights, solar, “overlanding” stuff etc.

    Can anyone tell me how tall the rack is. I guess the bars above the roof.

    Thanks

    This may have been asked already, but how is the wind noise with this rack installed?

    So I ran it a couple of days with the light bar cutout and not installed yet. That was a lot of wind nose, almost unbearable. Once I put the light bar on I don't even notice it unless I'm doing 70+. Even then it's only just noticable. it's not nearly as loud as my tires.

    Hey thanks for the response. One more question, do you have some noise reducing trim installed to the front plate?
