    Just installed this headache rack and rails. This company pretty much gave me these as it was the first set they built in this style for new Tacomas. It has oval led lights with back up lights in the center of each lens. Fitting was pretty good and bolt up of the rails is eased by removing the in box storage bin and power outlet box. You can reach the rear and center attachment bolts from there. The front bolt you can reach from under the truck with a long extension. Really lights up nicely at night and my roll top works fine with no issues of operation.

    Looks good. Did they use Stainless Steel for the metal?

    I have had sets similar to this on my work trucks and they didnt put a gasket between the truck box and the rails and rust got ugly under the rails because the rails were just plain steel painted. Especially where i live and they salt the living hell out of the roads all winter. Id like a set but I'm looking for Stainless steel and a neoprene or rubber gasket between the rails and box.

    These are all aluminum, and the box cap does not need to come off for this install.
    This company was one of my vendors when I owned a vehicle accessory business and I think that had some to do with the great price too. My only suggestion was maybe smaller tubing for the rails, or at least build one set to see how it looks.....
