    Its basically a knock-off of the Prinsu roof rack. The Prinsu roof rack is a great roof rack and most people on TW recommend it over other similar brands. I have a Prinsu rack on my Tacoma and its been great

    had mine on almost a year now no issues whatso ever. replaced a few bolts only because I hated a few things like that the didn't match, or I wanted nylock nuts and double washers on the fairings to keep things solid. but been solid so far. only wish id have measured up the T-nuts before installing them all. but that is on me.

    how is the wind noise? Also been another year since you posted, still happy how it’s help up? Do you feel it would hold solid threw 100k miles of just rough off road? I run about 150 miles a day or washed out roads and lease road.

    wind noise isn't any worse then I remember after I adjusted. originally I just squared it up to the rack because it was getting late in the driveway. then drove to work the next morning, I should have spend a bit getting the fairing closer to the roof line. now not a problem with a naked rack. throwing stuff on there of course add more noise but that it the item on the rack. I wouldn't hesitate to buy again. though if I did it again id buy a punch to keep my weather stripping on the truck think it looks cleaner that way. and get a tube of clear caulk to shoot into the holes into the cab for any potential leaking that could happen. and extra washers for the M8 bolts and some m8x1.25 lock nuts 8 of them for the front and rear fairings, they only send split washers and standard nuts, that is why I say locking nuts. If you plan to use the T-nuts for the tracks id 100% measure them first which I never did and still cant remember what other ones I finally found that matched

    I had my red rock roof rack for almost 2 years now. I dont notice any wind noise at all and it holds everything that i have up there without scratching the roof. I had to take it off a couple of times, but it goes back together just as good. I just wish it had the light bar cut out in the front, but thats my only gripe.

    Agreed on the light bar cut. Also wish the fairing holes were all uniform. The two in the middle being wider between them it's kind of annoying
