I have the previous version of this rack and I love it. Only problem was the big wind deflector vibrated in the wind pretty bad at higher than 45mph. I inserted a pool noodle I cut in half long ways, and now it’s rated for at least 90mph per my testing😂
Can I ask a question about your roof rack?are you getting any wind noise?I'm wanting to purchase the rack but if there's wind noise I could be out,good video .
Did u put silicone into the holes before putting the screws in? I’m installing mine tomorrow already have the rack built just asking. Also I love how u cut out the weather strip I’m gonna do the same! Sweet job! 🎉
I wonder if the issue you had with the crossbar touching the antenna could have just been fixed by adjusting where in the mounting cubes you put the rack on. Looks like the openings on those have plenty of room to adjust.
Great video bud, turned out pretty nice. Did notice that the coating on the roof rack, although very good looking, was pretty slick and slippery. Do you think some 3M grip tape on the cross bars would be beneficial?
@@ModernDayViking i am a little in the dark about how those work. Never messed with that type of system before. I assumed everything was strapped down. You won that round. Lol
Can you comment on the sunroof impact since you installed the roof rack . Can you remove the cross slats that obstruct the sunroof view when not using thre roof rack features?
What year is your Tacoma? Just wondering because the antenna placement on my 2020 is slightly different and I want to know if I will have the same issue before I buy
@@ModernDayViking probably when i received it it was bend a little bit towards the antenna. Now I have 1" of clearance when I straighten the rear fairing.
Nice install. What is the distance on the side of the rack from the roof to the top of the rack. I’m hoping I can have the rack on when I put my Eagle Four Wheel Camper on the truck. Cheers.
Not as bad as I would have expected. You hear it pretty good when a cross wind hits. Oddly enough I have recently installed a lightbar on it and it seems to have calmed it down.
YES, it has been great. I have a ton of stuff mounted on it 24/7 and no issues. I have been really impressed. I will try to do a one year later review video

Haha I don't have much wind noise with this. Unless some cross wind hits
Great video, love the look of this roof rack. 100x better than the OEM rack
Thanks! Yeah it looks pretty awesome
Hell yeah man! Keep up the grind I’m loving the videos!!!
Thank you!
Great video as always! ❤
Thank you!!
Luv the look I haven’t seen u put a silicone sealant to the holes to prevent water leak
Yeah we put silicone in the holes must have a forgot to record that part

Well maybe, I will be using the t slots to bolt things to the rack. So it being slick wasn't a big concern for me

Good option for a roof rack.
Thanks! I'm really happy with it so far

Its a 2021
I installed this unit on my 3rd Generation Tacoma. Looks great but I am getting noise while driving. Any Advice?
Make sure the bolts holding the light bar mount to the wind deflector are tight. When they get lose the wind deflector vibrates and makes noise
I Just installed mine. I did not grind the back cross bar, I bent it so it would not touch the rear antenna.
So yours also had fitment issues. Was it as bad as mine?

Never mind, I see it is below the antenna so no worries with the camper which sits well above the antenna.
Does the sunroof still open
Loved it
Thank you!
Great video
Thank you! Hopefully it was helpful
Wind noise?
czcams.com/video/F2PXpbtKcJk/video.htmlsi=8ZcTRsgNlSOkr8IO
Is it compatible with roam cases ?
How is the wind noise?
Not as bad as I would have expected. You hear it pretty good when a cross wind hits. Oddly enough I have recently installed a lightbar on it and it seems to have calmed it down.
So you still have this install? How it is a year later?
YES, it has been great. I have a ton of stuff mounted on it 24/7 and no issues. I have been really impressed. I will try to do a one year later review video
Are you still able to open the sunroof to vent position?
Just went out and double checked. Yeah you can put the sunroof in the vent position no problem.
@@ModernDayViking thank you
Think ima go with this than a prinsu…
Edit: I thought this was a budget roof rack 💀
It is when you consider the next lowest price is $700 and half the quality.
Mpg loss?
Not enough to notice at least until you get it loaded up.
