I purchased the Roof Rack from Toyota of Richardson, Texas ($230.41 including shipping).  It arrived to my home a short time later by way of UPS.  Unfortunately it seemed that the parts bag had broken in transit somehow and various screws and other small parts were found outside of the box or missing all together.  I contacted Greg at Toyota of Richardson and he promptly ordered a replacement parts bag and had it expedited to my home.  Once again, it was a refreshing reminder at how well Toyota dealerships have treated us so well all along.

      I intended to installation the Roof Rack very slowly to avoid mistakes, but the installation time sped by in spite of myself because it was so easy.  The instructions are downloadable below, but essentially all one must do is to pull off the rubber strips starting from the back of the cab, make sure the existing holes are clean of any residual adhesive from the strips and screw in the new Roof Rack.

      I think the Roof Rack looks stylish and helps the truck look "ready" for anything it is called upon to do.  The Roof Rack is clearly designed to be as functional as it is good looking which is why it is manufactured in a rugged plastic material.  I am trying to figure out if there is any practical way to add some chrome appearance to at least come of it in the future.
