Toyota Tacoma Roof Rack Install

[@michaelroback5883]

Great video Blockhead. This was a very detailed video. Love your rig as well.

[@billloomis7611]

Use a 3/4" punch, no drilling. Cleaner install.

[@poncyewest7682]

Where did you get the Tacoma black strips with the things sticking out

[@Folded92]

Thanks for the vid! Try a hole saw bit for the spacers, it might give you a cleaner cut. Also hows the highway noise on these racks? I really want one but not sure i could deal with excessive noise

[@peytona7109]

I know this video is from a few years ago, but i’m also doing a 3 inch lift. What are the wheel and tire size and offset?

[@MrJmduffy]

On your weather stripping Did you cut bottom or top with your knife. Thanks

[@averagedaddetailing787]

What’s your tire setup?

[@oldsoldier181]

So, 2 years later. Any leaks? I am doing this one soon myself. You get a lot more rain than I do :)

[@BlockheadMoto]

No leaks! Holding up great! 🤘🏼

[@farmermike9262]

is this dirty sanchez???

[@boblangworthy]

I know you've got skill, but I cringed at 7:22 cutting towards your hand! Great job on the install. I'm installing my Cali Raised cab rack this weekend. Truck looks great.

[@cl9k24la]

Great vid!! A much easier and cleaner method for the holes in the weather strip is to use a 3/4” tapered punch...

[@jdp1219]

Do you have a link to what kind of punch and where it coule be purchased.

[@dinh359]

Hi what kind of silicone do you use?

[@sworks7124]

Does the wind deflector touch the top of roof and risk scratching the paint? thanks.

[@jerrygonzalez5529]

At 7:25 I freaked out that your knife was going straight to your other hand or fingers! Be careful always cut away from you not towards you. Unfortunately I know from experience. Tacoma looks awesome!!

[@BlockheadMoto]

True that, good lookin out! The leverage to get through that stuff was better towards me in that instance but should have flipped it, haha. Thanks Jerry!

[@nbt3663]

Hey who's the guy in the parking lot working on his truck?

[@BlockheadMoto]

lol dead giveaway

[@Skuggan91]

Hey man! just want to thank you! I just got my A license here in Sweden today and from never riding a MC and preparing via your how to ride a MC I pretty much learned everything! Thank you for your How to Ride series it helped me so much!

[@BlockheadMoto]

That's awesome, happy to hear the videos helped you out!

[@ozzyschannel987]

What kind of silicone did you use?

[@nunyabidness9100]

Great video Blockhead, but those flat oblong nuts should be installed with the raised edge in the hole. They're made that way to hold them centered in the hole. I used similar ones for many years as a welder and they're called weld nuts used for threading thin walled tubing.

[@BlockheadMoto]

Nice, thanks for the info! I was wondering what they were called, never seen them before. Now I know for next time!

[@MaghnusmacanGhabhann]

Bagger Bro came in like the Calvery and saved your ass. Haven't seen that dude in forever good times.

[@BlockheadMoto]

Him and Anthony were a huge help!

[@wookim4611]

Best video to show how to drill and keep the weatherstripping intact! Thanks for saving me the frustration.

[@motovation3181]

A little bit for everyone!

[@BlockheadMoto]

Troof

[@jacobgilliam4391]

Keep up the awesome content

[@BlockheadMoto]

Thanks!

[@dcobb3120]

Great video Block. Use the "drag" settings on your drill to minimize the risk of A) stripping the screws and B) it almost acts like an impact but won't let you over tighten. Tight Taco

[@shawnphillips4473]

Now I need one of these racks for my Taco

[@justindhitchcock1806]

I’m a plumber you should’ve used a whole saw on the weather stripping it would’ve given you a nice clean holes Paddle bits you used make a mess just giving you a heads up

[@BlockheadMoto]

This is true! I did have a hole saw end, but it was too large. I'll make the trip to home depot for next time, the paddle bits were terrible, haha

[@jdp1219]

Would the hole saw cut through the metal also or does that have to be done separately?

[@rick6561]

any eibach lift review soon?

[@coreyshortland2074]

Truck looks great man! Wish we had these here in Australia

[@BlockheadMoto]

Thanks!

[@coreyshortland2074]

Had to tell the missus that Blockhead just replied to me! Whoooop

[@BlockheadMoto]

@@coreyshortland2074 lol, well 'Howdy' to you both from the US, hope to come to Aus one of these days, heard good things!

[@coreyshortland2074]

G'day from down unda. Would be great to have you here man! If you plan a group ride anywhere in Victoria I'll be there! 👍

[@MrNosajwhitey]

Princu have a great looking product different from the normal racks and I actually like the look of it great to see baggerbro Eric again he looks fitter than I remember

[@NokternaL1]

Such a beautiful truck blockhead 👌🏻👌🏻

[@BlockheadMoto]

Thank you! 👊

[@Renholder76]

Hey Blockhead. Great vids. keep up the cool content and thanks for the how to ride videos.

[@jeffmorris739]

Hey Block Head I have a question. I purchased one of these for my Taco and the one thing that bugs me is the weather stripping. I see people installing these without the stripping. Do you regret cutting holes in the stripping or is that what you would do again? I don't think Toyota puts it back on with factory racks but what the hell do I know. You would think someone would make these or Prinsu would offer them. One other thing. Did you have your factory steels powder coated? Are those 16's or 17"s. They look damn good.

[@onemeaningsome3580]

Great googly moogly... that truck looks so damn good. Loving these videos in addition to the motovlog "norm"! Please keep it going, Block!!

[@BlockheadMoto]

Thanks man!

[@StevyFaux]

I don’t own a Tacoma... but I still watched this whole thing! Very entertaining! PS don’t know if you remember us talking about a Japan 4 video (during one of your video game live streams) but I’ll have it out soon! 😬

[@BlockheadMoto]

Japan 4! haha

[@will-financialliteracy-fin9369]

Burning that midnight oil Blockhead?!

[@BlockheadMoto]

Always 🔥

[@hawkghost7398]

Hello

[@alexanderjohnson8504]

HaWk Ghost73 Hi

[@nbt3663]

Yoooo

[@BlockheadMoto]

Asuh

[@oscarortiz365]

Too bad about the weather strip. For the money you paid , it should come predrilled.

[@motostyx4714]

very nice! they actually make my favorite racks at the moment. Your truck is looking better and better :)

[@BlockheadMoto]

Quality racks for sure. Thanks!

[@lucashahn1724]

What liner did u use in the bed of the truck

[@m0rbidr00ster6]

Lucas Hahn tacos have a composite bed. Its not a liner. I have a bed mat in mine.

[@BlockheadMoto]

+1 on what M0rbid R00ster said, the bed is a composite and there's no metal underneath that. Suppose they're doing that now to save on weight and cost? Not sure, but it works!

[@tigermoosearmy]

The kit should come with pre drilled weather stripping

[@abortiz11712]

Awesome install but I have one question: when the hell is BaggerBro going to make a KZbin channel??!! 😂🤣

[@matthewprice3147]

He has one but only has like 5 uploads. He just did a resto on a sportster that would've been great content but he just posted the pics to Insta.

[@BlockheadMoto]

Yeah he's got one and made a few vids, just gotta keep on em!

[@ajmurf-r3d]

mmmm truck....

[@coreyh5708]

Gah I love that Taco

[@BlockheadMoto]

Nom nom nom 🌮
