    This is mine... Cali Raised LED Premium with 360 lighting and light bar in the front. Can't see light bar in photo because there's an adjustable flap to cover it which helps with road noise. Has 2 white leds on each side and the back. Only problem was it did not come with a wire harness for the 360 lighting package, had to have that hard wired. Uses all factory mounts on the roof, so no drilling required! Price starts around $800 but can get up to around $1600.. Looks nice and has a good use. I can attach more photos later if needed.

    Gobi rack. Probably one of the least common racks I’ve seen on Tacoma’s. Having the ability to just strap things up there is exactly what I needed. Also a fun party trick to have a few people climb up there since its rated for 800+ pounds static. It’s also one piece of welded metal, so you don’t have to really worry about anything getting loose.

    For those who have racks do you get use out of them, I had a set on a car / small SUV and never used. Just found it to be a pain to get down and packed up when traveling. Used a small trailer instead.

    I do, I like to distribute my camping weight across the whole truck instead of just the bed. I’d say mine gets used once every 3ish weeks? Idk if that counts as enough to keep it up there. Comes in real handy when I have 4 bikes in the bed and everyone’s junk up top.

    My Yakima LockNLoad rack. It doesn't make much wind noise and holds everything I want.
    The only downside is since it only uses 4 roof bolts and it can't support weight like the prinsu style racks.
    The major plus side above the other racks is that you can take it off in less than 5 minutes. Which is handy if you want to wax the roof paint or aren't using it and want better fuel economy.

    Thanks! Install was pretty straightforward. I’m more of a video guy then Manuals, and I was able to get it done by myself after watching their YT tutorial. Helps to have another person but you can assemble it, line it up and cinch it down with bungee cords while bolting it on
