    Did you even read OP's posts? Dude said hardware did not fit, wing shakes like crazy, rear of the rack does not clear the antenna.

    The rear didn't fit the Gen 3 Tacoma. But I've sent them measurements on how to fix to fit the fin. There wing shakes because it needed to add the edge modeling and lowered to touch the roof line. As far as bolts I'm still trying to get them to supply bigger or better fitting bolts
    @Steve B Richard he has the info

    @Steve B Richard works for the company and I have contact with him and requested the fixes
    He just mentioned to me that they have a fix for the back rail for the Fin as a replacement on the Gen 3 . But I've not confirmed that being I have a gen 2

    Ya I have a 2nd gen to. My biggest concern is the vibration from the wind deflector. Hopefully they fix that issue and test it. Then I'll definitely be considering this rack.

    Do you get any vibration with the deflator touching the roof?

    The fix is to add the weather stripping and than have it touch the the roof. Had it on mine for over a few months and zero vibration problem

    This has me interested. The quarks seem modest for how much cheaper it is vs other racks. I was planning on modifying any rack I get either way, so I'd much rather cut up and mess with something that cost a fraction of the price. Realistically, my uses for this thing just don't justify spending north of $650 on one.

    Do you think that will make a rubbing line in the paint over time from dust, debris and it vibrating slightly?

    I just purchased this rack on Amazon and it does not have the numbers on the sides. It does have the numbers on the top of the cross bars but you cannot see them so no big deal. The hardware that I received worked perfectly so no worries there. I tightened all the bolts up tight and did not feel like any of them were going to strip out. It does vibrate still if you don't get the fairing down on the paint. Mine does not have the fix for the antenna so I will have to figure that out.

    Email Amazon and the person I talked to said they have a replacement back rail for the Antenna. Or they have it in prototype right now
