[@Mortezasoltanimoghadam]

This video is teacher for me tanx for your videos ❤❤❤❤

[@likits1999]

Nice white 1st genner!!!

[@hv4285]

Thank you for the review. It reinforced my decision to NOT buy the rack haha despite how nice it and low it looks on your 1st gen. I can't justify the ridiculous price, on top of drilling 10 holes into my cab! Gonna have to get creative with the welder it looks like for me

[@trdtimmy]

It’s not for everyone! I appreciate you checking out the video! If you have time to check out how overlandunderbudget did his roof rack on his first gen. May give you some ideas

[@anticonrules]

This was a great vid. Answered so many questions i had. Thank you for this! 🤘

[@trdtimmy]

That’s awesome! Glad I could provide some information on it!

[@JuanAmaya7]

How did you get those handle bars on the rack? What are you using for them?

[@phanatikz631]

I’ll be installing this on my 1st gen also. Love the truck🤙🏽

[@trdtimmy]

Awesome, I think you will love it!

[@blueriveroutdoors6404]

I love it but I’m just worried about drilling into my cab. Mine is mint like yours and I hate the thought of drilling into it. 😅

[@trdtimmy]

It’s definitely scary! I haven’t had any issues though and I do love having the storage abilities up there

[@JuanMendoza-nl9fn]

Awesome video, where did you buy your wind fairing decal from?

[@trdtimmy]

A local print shop made it for me

[@thrRnz9496]

If you are going to drill holes into the roof why not just weld mounting plates on top of the roof for the rack to mount on to? Seems more sturdy and more durable plus eliminates possibilities of future water leaks.

[@kevintannehill4423]

Thanks man! I asked you several questions on your Instagram before I pulled the trigger on the prinsu rack and this video made me for confident in my install 🤟🏽

[@trdtimmy]

Awesome! Glad I could help! It’s really not too bad!

[@jesusalberto9242]

Dude your truck is awesome ❤️

[@trdtimmy]

Thanks 👍

[@Soycochodeguerrero]

Sick 👍🏼

[@joshuahanning3850]

Dude how did I not know you had a KZbin channel? You should definitely stick with it!

[@trdtimmy]

It’s a fairly new channel! I am planning on keeping videos rolling!

I have Yakima racks and like that because I can make adjustments and change the configuration to meet the needs of what I'm carrying with baskets, space savers or bike racks -2 bars over cab and 2 over camper shell. But I gotta say, this looks really good. Appreciate the detailed review. Definitely something to consider if I decide to make a change. One thing I'd like to hear your experience with is long term, or high mileage, maintenance work. I have 02' with 220k miles and starting to look for preventative work to do like changing U joints, carrier barring, transmission mount bushing, etc. Have you had insightful experiences with that kind of stuff?

[@PressStart-PST]

I just bought the Yakima racks but only the mounts. I’m gonna buy tubing that fits the mounts and weld them to a roof rack like the one in the video so I don’t have to drill in the roof. I hate the idea of drilling into my truck in general.

[@Nessal83]

The plus nut works like a drywall anchor.

[@manuelgiron2364]

I’m currently installing my prinsu roof rack on my 1st gen. I’m just don’t know what the metal spacer is for? The kit only came with 2 metal spacers.

[@trdtimmy]

That metal spacer is what you use to get the plusnuts to install in to the holes you drill in the roof. The one you hold with the wrenches and tighten down

[@WisdomInTheWoods]

With the screws in place can you tell me how far the come down inside the cab?

[@trdtimmy]

You don’t see them because they are hidden by the headliner

[@WisdomInTheWoods]

@trdtimmy but if you rolled it could be buried in your head? Which is why I asked how far?

[@trdtimmy]

Without dropping the headliner to get an exact I would estimate between 1/4 in. The nuts you install in the roof aren’t very big

[@DR-UTAH]

Great video you did a very good job editing. Keep them up👍

[@trdtimmy]

I appreciate that! Thank you!

[@sethmoore3503]

What tracks are you using on your topper? Awesome video!

[@trdtimmy]

They are Yakima universal tracks!

[@UpNorthOutWest]

What storage boxes are those?

[@trdtimmy]

These were rifle cases from harbor freight

[@UpNorthOutWest]

Sweet, thanks

[@zachquiros1622]

Where did you get your grill?

[@trdtimmy]

From Tacovinyl.com

Hello, I'm from Poland I need help how to activate the front differential lock in Toyota Tacoma 2004. When it comes to that, there is a button on the cockpit of Dif Lock, but when it comes to the front-wheel drive, I have no idea how it starts

[@SurfSCRasta]

That button is for the rear differential locker.

[@kaimana9990]

what size drill bit did you use? and where did you get you boxes?

[@trdtimmy]

I believe it was 3/8. Boxes are from harbor freight!
