I was thinking about installing one on my 01. If anyone has one could you please post a pic. Also If anyone has installed a factory rack...how tough was it to do?

You can find the installation manual here-
I would recommend going with a Yakima setup- more versatile- plus its removeable/resellable

If you are talking about the real factory roof rack, they don't sell them. The only ones I've found are the ones on e-bay, but they are not like the ones that were originally sold with the double cabs. Here is a technical article on that subject:

I found some on e-bay from a toyota dealer in Fla. They claim to be the original racks installed by Toyota. I originally approached my Stealer when I got my truck & they gave me a price of like $1200 or something like that. These are 137.99.

Barb at TRDParts4U.com can get you a Gulf States Toyota one for $169.

The "Factory" rack issues are detailed correctly in the Custom Tacos article.

I have an OEM from a member last year. It is still in pieces but doesn't look at all difficult to install. I have the Toyota manual in PDF if you need all the pieces and instructions. The roof in pieces cost over 1200.

Thanks. I just ordered the OEM rack off of ebay today. I may have to hit you up for those instructions if they are not included with the new rack.

When I bought my DC, I convinced the dealer to buy me the individual parts for the rack and I installed it myself. It's pretty easy. I used rivet nuts to attach it to the roof.

Looks sweet thanks!
