Dude, I absolutely loved this video! I just bought a 2015 Toyota Tacoma with only 67,000 miles on it and it already had this installed and I wasn’t sure exactly how it worked or if I had to buy crossbars to add to it. So knowing that the crossbars are integrated into it and that this is tier 100% factory OEM makes me nerd out that much more

I picked up a 21 taco back in January. Had the OEM rack on it, and like OP, I was unsure if I needed crossbars. About a week ago I saw a Tacoma in my local area with an OEM rack configured with the bars across the roof! I got curious and found this video! Excellent and exciting discovery that I don't need aftermarket crossbars!

Looks good and easy install ! Enjoy the day.

I love that those crossbars move. that way you not dealing with wind noise all the time. Let me know how the wind noise with the cross bars deployed. I need to see if they make these style for My Sienna.

@ElevationEveryWeekend

2 жыл бұрын

Yeah it was one of the reasons I wanted the stock rails too. In one drive with the cross bars extended I didn’t notice any noise, it was not on the highway though. Honestly I wouldn’t deploy them unless I was going to have something up there, so that would likely be the main noise and fuel economy impact.

Ended up here before doing an install on a 2005. I couldn’t by the OEM rack, so I had to find an aftermarket. Complete pain in the ass. The little snap in piece up front was very difficult to get locked in. None of the bolts patterns were right so lots of shifting and flexing of the plastic required. That last bolt for the cross bar had to be put on prior to putting the actual bracket on due to the nit on the back not being locked in so if it falls off you have to remove entire side and start over. Of course it’s nearly impossible to put the front two short bolts in if the cross bar is fastened, so it takes some shimmying. If you can get the OEM, get the OEM, otherwise be prepared for wild times;)

Could you mount an light awning off the side of the truck when the bar is in its closed position aka not hooked up to the opposite bar?

@ElevationEveryWeekend

While it might be possible, it would really depend on the mounting options of the awning I think. It probably wouldn’t be ideal though since there are no flat surfaces or other holes to mount off of like some aftermarket racks would have.

Can you replace the original rubber molding underneath the rack? Will it help to keep water out?

@ElevationEveryWeekend

Жыл бұрын

Since the molding really fills the gap I don’t think it would be compatible. But I do think leaving the sealed foam mostly in place (which is the actual water tight seal), only putting a small hole for the bolt to go through, and using the supplied rubber grommets should do the job well.

These look exactly like the aftermarket ones and those also are 100lb rating. I just wish I could get heavy duty ones with that design. I'd like to be able to load them up with a 150lb tandem kayak safely.

These racks look great when installed, but Toyota SERIOUSLY cheaped out on the hardware and preassembly. On my kit, the factory lower seal was hanging off and I needed to realign it myself on both sides. The nut for the passenger side arm fell out after I mounted the rail, and one bolt stripped when removed… should’ve taken 30 mins max to install, took more than two hours… if you buy these racks, TAKE YOUR TIME and do it right!!!
