Amber lights are best used for foggy conditions according to most drivers.

  • During fog, water droplets often act as mirrors and reflect the light generated by the car back into the driver’s eye making driving in the fog a real driving hazard.
  • Many car buyers believe that yellow lights penetrate fog better but the reason is something else.
  • When we see any object in blue light, it appears fuzzy or unclear with a blue tone around it. It is a phenomenon called “glare”.
  • According to a study, blue light is often the reason behind driver complaints of discomfort glare.
  • Blue or white light against the snow or fog can be glaring to the eyes and it can make you tired soon.
  • When you are driving through snowy roads, the white lights can tire you as well.
  • Most vehicles are rated for no more than 500 lbs of weight limit to the top of the vehicle.
  • Our racks are rated to withstand well over 1000lbs amount, which will exceed the rating for the vehicle.
  • See the report on running just (1) Extrusion Bar with over 200lb load!
  • With 6 Extrusion bars on this rack, it's the vehicle itself that then becomes the limit to what weight you can load up on it!

NOTE:

  • For lighting the complete lighting package, do not offer a harness at this time, but a custom harness is in the works!
  • A poor wiring job can result in a fire, so make sure you research them properly!

The best place to start on getting your roof rack wired up would be to contact a shop in your local area or look for a shop that does 12V wiring. Look for an automotive accessories shop or a 4Wheel Parts store or equivalent that also does installations. We can't recommend a particular shop as everyone's quality of work differs. We highly recommend asking the shop for examples of their work before hiring them to wire your rack.

NOTE:

  • THIS IS ONLY AVAILABLE FOR DOUBLE-CAB TRUCKS ONLY.
  • ECONOMY ROOF RACK DOES NOT INCLUDE REAR FAIRING. SEE PHOTOS.
  • This will not work with a TRD Snorkel
  • The rack will add 5" to the overall height of your vehicle.
  • This rack is custom-made for Tacoma. We cannot guarantee fitment on any other vehicles unless otherwise explicitly specified.

How to Install 2005-2023 Toyota Tacoma Roof Rack

The video walks through the full install of the Cali Raised LED Premium Roof Rack on the 2005–2023 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab, with the current hardware: building the rack on the ground, prepping the roof and bolting it to the factory roof holes. No drilling.

Prefer it on paper? Download the printable installation guide (PDF) below. It has every step pictured and the full hardware list.

Installation steps

Before you start: Two people to lift the rack onto the truck. Tools: 4 mm Allen key, 7/16 in. wrench, 9/16 in. wrench and socket, 10 mm wrench and socket, tape measure, flat pry tool, hammer and cutters, and silicone sealant (recommended, not included). Build the whole rack on the ground first (steps 1-6) and snug the hardware as you go. The kit is shared with the 2024+ Tacoma rack, so expect spare hardware.

  1. Wind visor on the front mounts (9/16 in.). On each side: aluminum spacer (1/4 x 29/32 in.) on the knob pin, front mount over the pin, then the 3/8 in. hex bolt and silver washer through the mount, a bronze oil bearing washer on each side of the visor, and the 3/8 in. locknut. Snug only. The visor has to move.
  2. Front valance (4 mm Allen, 7/16 in.). Push the weather strip onto the bottom edge of the valance and trim it flush. The valance support goes behind the valance, flange down: three 5/8 in. button heads with washers. Bolt the valance between the front mounts (two 5/8 in. button heads per side, plus a 3/4 in. button head on top with washers and a locknut). Tighten all the front assembly hardware.
  3. Mounts on the T-slot rails (7/16 in.). Crossbars 3 and 5 get the mounts, counting from the front. Each mount takes two 1/4 x 3/4 in. carriage bolts in the rail's bottom slot, open side of the mount facing out, with a washer and locknut on each bolt. Middle mounts go on crossbar 3, rear mounts on crossbar 5. Four mounts total. Snug only, so the mounts can slide.
  4. Rear valance (4 mm Allen). Slide four T-nuts into the rear track of the last rail, two from each end, set the rear valance over them and bolt it on with four 1/2 in. button heads and washers.
  5. Rails and side panels (4 mm Allen). Plain rails go 1st, 2nd and 4th, the mount crossbars 3rd and 5th, and the rear valance rail last. Bolt in the front assembly (two 3/4 in. button heads with washers per side), thread the visor knobs onto the pins, then two 1/4 x 1 in. button heads with washers at every rail end: 24 in total, 12 per side.
  6. L-brackets, then tighten the frame (4 mm Allen, 7/16 in.). In each rear corner: a 5/8 in. button head with a washer through the side panel, and a 3/4 in. button head with washers and a locknut through the rear valance. Tighten the frame, but leave the four rail mounts a little loose.
  7. Prep the roof (flat pry tool). Pry up the front clip and peel back the roof trim strips on both sides. Peel or puncture the seal on all 10 holes, 5 per side. Silicone around each hole is recommended (not included). Set a 1/4 x 1 in. aluminum spacer on every hole.
  8. Rack on, center and tighten (10 mm, 7/16 in.). With two people, lift the rack over the front and set it straight down onto the spacers. Install the M6 x 50 hex bolts with M6 washers: 2 in each front mount, 1 in each middle mount and 2 in each rear mount, 10 in total. Center the rack so the gap to the roof line matches on both sides, then tighten the carriage bolts on the four rail mounts, followed by the 10 M6 bolts.

Final check: Visor pivots snug and the visor still tilts with the knobs, front valance hardware tight with the weather strip on the edge, 4 mounts on crossbars 3 and 5 tightened after centering, rear valance bolted into all 4 T-nuts, 24 rail-end bolts in, both L-brackets tight, 10 spacers under 10 M6 bolts, and the same gap to the roof line on both sides.

Great roof rack for a great price!

This is a great bang for you buck roof rack! I had mine for the last 3 years and it's showed no sign of rust or peeling/etc. I can stand on the cross bars as well with no give. Only reason for 4 stars is because I couldn't get the last cross bar to fit properly (had to turn it sideways and make a hole to mount - see photos).

Solid Upgrade to the Rig

Highly recommend assistance from another person & laying a moving blanket on the roof to protect from scratches. Otherwise, assembly was a breeze and fitment was perfect. So happy with the upgrade and it allows for further additions to the rig.

Well designed and absolutely silent!

I love the economy rack for my 2018 Tacoma. The installation is easy. The rack is completely silent and did not affect my gas mileage. I’ve used the rack to mount recovery gear, boxes and awnings but it’s also extremely useful for hauling construction materials. I have a truck bed canopy and paired it with a Victory 4x4 bed rack. I would recommend as an alternative to Prinsu and more expensive racks.
