    Just saw these rails on a Tacoma. Looks cool and perfect for an RTT.
    Does any one know if its OEM or aftermarket. Do they make one for Tundra?

    I think those are OEM option for Tacoma. Never seen them for Tundra.

    In my experience with roof top tents. Factory rails and cross bars almost never have the weight limits to support an RTT. You’re better off with an aftermarket set up. I use a Voodoo bedrack for my RTT on my Tundra. My wife’s Durango has factory crossbars but nowhere near the capacity to carry it.

    Those are OEM for the taco. I had the OEM rack. It was ok bit very loud with crossbars out, also they dont just swing open. Bad design, you swing them open then take the crossbars off and swap them front to back and side to side, kinda dumb. And they didnt hold much weight at all.

    A friend of mine has those exact same bars. Like @Pudge stated they aren’t rated for much weight. I like the fact that the arrow bars fold out of the way. I love my coachbuilder roof rack. Here is a picture of his flat roof rack design for a RTT. The bottom design is the arched design that I currently have. 9958F0A9-3271-4AD9-9D29-0BA81A3EF8C6.jpg
