    Mid April I'm headed out with two motorcycles to tour the Western USA and do some off road riding. I'm thinking a Roof Rack would really help me out. Is there a good one that has side bars?
    Thanks for any ideas!

    So, that's the set up. I'm thinking I'm sleeping in the back some of the time, and hitting hotel/motel too. I'm leaving WA, headed to Moab, then AZ, Palm Desert, San Diego, then up HWY 395 to Death Valley, Yosemite, then back to WA via the coast or central Oregon depending on the weather.

    My truck is pretty stock. It was a demo and had the sway bar added to it, dual TRD exhaust, bed liner...upgraded mats....

    Suggestions appreciated.

    There really isn't a pool of racks for Tundras specifically. You're most likely going to have to get one custom by a local shop or buy a universal rack and modify it for your truck.

    Kudos on a super nice looking truck.

    So, when you say "universal rack", are there some typical brands of decent quality?
