    I just ordered the Backbone and the Pioneer platform tonight. It'll be a little while before I get my order I'm sure. I also bought the #43180B Full Rail Kit. I'll write a review once I get everything.

    Someone else on here did a review of it...maybe in product review section or something.

    Price sucks in my opinion compared to what else is out there.

    I mean you have Baja rack, warrior products, prinsu, front runner outfitters, etc. all managing to offer highly comparable options for way less.

    That's like Gobi makes a $1200 rack which looks great but the price sucks and I think I've seen pics of a whole 2 Tacoma's on here that run one.

    I didn't. I got better pricing through a private pro-staff opportunity.

    There is a great deal elsewhere. Just can't find any good info on the rack. I am also tempted to just get the backbone side rails and fab up a rack to go on top.

    I've had the Rhino Rack Backbone on my truck for a little while now and I love it. IMG_1896.jpg IMG_1898.jpg IMG_1900.jpg

    Awesome! That looks great. Looking forward to receiving mine. I ordered the 43180B Full Rail Kit. It looks like you went with the front rail. Any thoughts on no rail, front rail or full rail now that you've had yours for a while? Thanks.

    It all depends on what you want to do with it. I have a tent on the way so the rail kit will come off a that point. If it wasn't for that I would change and go with the full rail kit. Since the pics, I have moved the light bar down to be flush with the end of the platform, (If that makes sense), instead of on the top of it.
