Platform detail


This roof rack uses a drill-mount design for a rigid, factory-strength attachment to your vehicle's roof. Unlike our other racks that use factory mount points, this model requires drilling into the roof at pre-marked locations.

Fits 1996–2004 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab (4-door). A heavy-duty carbon-steel cargo platform for the 4-door cab. Drilling into the roof is required for this vehicle. Ships free from our California warehouse.
Adjustable crossbars
Adjustable crossbars and multiple mounting points let you set the platform up for the trip in front of you — camping gear this weekend, work gear on Monday, bikes or boards next month. Reconfigure it as your kit changes instead of buying another rack.
Loaded and ready
Rated 1,000 lb parked — rooftop-tent territory, not just luggage. The platform is reinforced at every mounting point so a tent, the people in it, and your camp kit all have somewhere solid to sit.
Platform detail
Build detail
Low-profile deck
The platform hugs the roofline instead of towering over it. You get the capability off-road without the boxy basket look on the school run — and without a rack that reshapes how the vehicle drives.
Carbon steel platform
Carbon steel with a black powder coat: the rack you load with lumber on Monday and camp gear on Friday. Rated to 1,000 lb, and it does not flinch at a jobsite.
Accessory mounting points
The crossbars aren't shelving — they're a mounting base. Light bar up front, awning down the side, recovery boards on the rail, tie-downs anywhere you need one. Bolt it on, and it stays where you put it.
Bolt-on, tidy fit
Bolted through, it does not creak, shift or work loose — and the cab still opens, closes and washes like it always did.
Drill-in mounting — template included
There are no factory holes to use on this cab. The rack bolts through the roof panel using new holes you drill with the included template — that is what makes it rock-solid at highway speed. It is permanent: the holes stay in the roof if the rack ever comes off, so professional installation is strongly recommended.

T-bolts for mounting accessories to your rack.

Most customers install in about an hour. The rack uses your factory roof rail mounting points — no drilling, no adhesive. A torque-spec guide is included so you can tighten to OEM spec and drive away the same day.
This is a full platform-style rack with a continuous slotted deck for mounting accessories anywhere along its length. That means rooftop tents, awnings, cargo boxes, traction boards, jerry cans, and light bars all bolt directly to the deck — no adapters needed.
Static load (parked — e.g., rooftop tent with sleepers): up to 1,000 lb. Dynamic load (driving): up to 300 lb. These ratings exceed the IIHS rack testing standard and match what ARB and Front Runner publish for their competing platforms.
Yes. The slotted deck uses the industry-standard 8mm T-slot channel compatible with iKamper, Roofnest, CVT, Smittybilt, ARB, Rhino-Rack, and every major awning and LED bar brand. Any accessory that bolts to a Front Runner Slimline or Prinsu rack will bolt to ours.
This rack is cut for the specific year, make, and model shown in the fitment box at the top of this page. It uses your factory mounting locations — so if your truck matches that spec, the rack will bolt on with the factory-point feet in the box.
