I would like to hear from owners with roof racks. Do they function well? Are they adjustable? Would you do it again?
I haven't been able to see one up close yet.

Christmas Lights on my Thule I bought with my cap. I bought Toyota factory roof cab for snow board holders that I use for fishing rods . Thule has bike full height mountain bike holders that are high up when on my cap!

I think it depends of the type of cargo you'll be carrying. But if it is only for the looks would be a waste of money.

Siding and trim material with the use of a hitch rack. Also canoe with use of bed and hitch rack. My JKU has no rack and I miss the use that I got from my Sequoia that is no longer a daily driver.
Nice truck by the way. What bumpers do you have Silverpataco?
What is the weight rating on the Taco rack?

Mine is a Thule roof rack. It's worth the money.

I was thinking that. A flat gold or glossy gold. Maybe even flat black with glossy gold flakes.

Prinsu is good stuff.
Do not get a Toyota rack, the install has you remove the channel cover the replacement cover rubs the paint and does not seal good and the way it is designed the plastic literally drains any water into the channel. Not knowing if I was going to keep the rack on or not (weight limit is like 100 pounds) I did not use silicone just rubber washers and mine leaked.
Does anyone have a picture of their 2016-2017 Tacoma with the Thule rack? I have a Thule rack with square bars and kayak/board attachments but will have to purchase new feet and fit kit ($300+). Before purchasing I would like feedback on this system if anyone here has one installed.
What make and model# on your truck topper/shell? Looks very nice!
