OEM roof rack install 2010 DC LB

Some pics of before, during and after install...I read the other posts...very easy to do...just a bolt on application!
Before:


Some shots of install...I think pretty explanatory:


the holes are already there...you just have to remove the tape

2 bolts for each brace on left and right

5 bolts for each side and you are done

final shots

Not the best pics...but I hope this helps someone who may be interested with installing an OEM rack.

 

I love my oem roof rack. It really enhances the look of the truck, not to mention the functionality of it as well. Truck looking great!

 

Looks good, Nice job on the writeup/pics!!!

 

looks way better!!!

 

very nice looks clean

 

Nice where did you get the rack from? How Much?

 

Sweet, looks great. Want to sell the rubber strips you took off? I need them (don't ask...)

 

Nice job, thanks for the write-up. You have a great looking truck.

 

Trdparts4u.com at about 250 total with shipping....about 1 hour install

 

PM sent...

 

Thanks for the compliments...just getting used to posting and pics...

 

Waiting for mine- should be here tomorrow. BTW, what wheels are those? Very sharp looking truck!

 

Looks very nice with them on. I installed mine on a few months ago. Very easy to do but they give the truck a really nice look

 

XD Revolvers

 

Looks great. I'll get one at some point, it's third or fourth on my list of items for my truck.

 

looks great!!!! just curious, when you tighten down the mounting bolts, how much did you let the rubber seals bulge or flatten? on my first roof rack i tighten it til it bulged out the sides and practically flat under the bracket. gettin ready to put one on my new baby.

 

That looks great! So what will you be carrying with it?

 

I only have a "larger" torque wrench...so it doesn't read to the lower foot/lbs...I did go until the seals were bulging out...

 

I have nothing off hand that I need to haul...but I do have a couple sport bikes that I will be hauling...I already did the D ring mod...so they are just in case I need more room to tie something down and I really do like the look (I know some people aren't into roof racks). You never know when you will need some more room!

 

I just got mine yesterday from Tacoma Parts Store. It was $227 plus shipping I think. Unfortunately, the dealer did nothing to reinforce the box closures, and UPS had a field day with it, so it was missing some bolts and was scraped up. Of course, sending it back would cost about $30, and UPS doesn't do claims worth a crap, so I ended up buying the missing hardware (only a few bucks) and just living with the scrapes. Buyer beware.
