3rd Gen Roof Rack by DiamondRax

[Scat Adams]

Saw this on a another forum, thought I would share;

Some more information;
42" wide by 60" long with 2" tall sides, angled front with solid fairing panel. Powdercoated in a lightly textured, black matte finish. Four full-channel crossbars that span the entire width of the rack. The rack is constructed completely from 16 gauge steel (except the fairing which is 18 gauge). The main "hoops" are 3/4" square tube turned on-edge for our exclusive "diamond" look. Proudly made in the USA.

Many options are available:
- Non-angled front
- 4" or 6" tall sides
- Welded-in steel floor slats

Includes all mounting hardware. Mounts directly into the factory t-tracks. $499.00 plus shipping and handling.

Looks like a well built rack, thoughts?

Just saw that over on Ih8mud. Looks pretty nice.

I thought that was a very nice looking rack as well.

I like it. Simple and clean.

Last night I was looking through the vendor classifieds on Ih8mud and saw you posted about getting a rack probably right before your wreck. Sorry to hear about that man.

I posted up where they have a scratch and dent sale going on as well. The one he has for the 4runner looks different than the one pictured but it still looks nice for $200.

Heres the LINK

I like it, I wonder how big of a pain it is to bend square tubing? And it looks real clean with the connecting parts cut to fit perfet between the top and bottom rails.

It looks more diamond shape. Not sure where you would find that but I imagine it is definitely difficult to bend.

Super nice looking, compared to what I was considering getting

square vs pipe vs hexagon, is the same machine just different dies , it's just one of those things that you don't see every often ..that said, the material alone seems like it would be expensive just because it's not often produced...how much are these things i couldn't find a price on the site?

Not to be "that guy" but I have to point out the downside of the square/diamond.

Cool brackets like this

aren't going to work so well.

and with it on edge like you don't have a flat side surface to mount to either. Not a deal breaker, but an added challenge over some of the other racks.

I would think it would crinkly badly but it looks really smooth.

The OP posted listed it at $499 + s&h. A little bit more expensive than most racks.
