How much were you able to sell you OEM rack for? Seems the market would be flooded with so many custom racks going on runners while unlikely many OEM racks get damaged.
"Dozens" have had problems ...while 30,000 have been delivered. Not a bad ratio for a complete reboot vehicle. Plus, if you buy a Ford instead of a Toyota, you've got to expect more problems.
Great solution. Lots of storage. Another benefit of not getting the rooftop tent (not to mentions saving $$$) is the roof rack remains free for lots more storage/carrying.
I bought the Sherpa Crestone and it's great so far. Rooftop tent showed up yesterday. Plan to put it on the weekend. Will update if there are any issues.
