Roof rack recommendations

OP,

Some budget racks on my running list. Take a look and see if this helps. The Hooke rack is only $319. I can't vouch for it, though. You get what you pay for, generally.

Good List....

Just what I was looking for.

 

Do these racks mount ok on an RSI EvoA?, I'm thinking down the road I'll need one over cab and one over the RSI.

 

I'd recommend asking through the website or checking with @gmartin284

 

Big thumbs up on Martin @gmartin284 and shout out for turnaround time. Had it in < 2 weeks and in time for a trip.

 

Another big thumbs up for Martin Off Road racks! Exceeded all of my expectations. Complete install by one man in about 2.5 hours, so worth it.

 

I also bought a Martin OR rack for my 2016 Tacoma. Would post pics but same as others. Smooth install but would like to know if others have the same level of road noise as I do. Not a big complaint and what do you expect when you put something to catch the wind like that but would like to know if others experienced it and if they were able to find a way to quiet it down.

 

I put the front part on the lowest setting and that performed best. You can still hear it but for me it's in the tolerable range. Also plan to add a weather strip on the bottom. Not sure if that will help, but can't hurt. In truth, I usually turn the tunes up to drown out the wife so by that point the rack is irrelevant

 

I have the fairing on the lowest setting with the $10 weather strip off of Amazon. I usually have the music up so I don't really notice it. Took a couple hour drive with the family over the weekend and the music was pretty low and you can definitely hear the wind on the rack but it's not bad at all. My wife agreed that it wasn't bad. My 5 year old complained that it was loud in the backseat, but he'll complain about anything just to disagree with us.

I've never used another rack so I can't compare. From reviews, it sounds like the Martin is comparable to the Prinsu, and both are much quieter than the Frontrunner.

Wish I had done a before/after decibel test.
