Ecotechne roof rack GROUP BUY!!!

Not open for further replies.
Yes, we can get them but I'm kind of iffy about those. They will add wind resistance(drop in gas mileage), noice and they shake a bit. If most everyone that wants them is ok with that I'll add them and start that buy as well.

I like the look of the hood rack, but since I already paid extra for a Trail model, I have to show off my fake hood scoop so the world can marvel.
 
If anyone in Northerb Cali wants the hood rack, I'd consider trading my sr5 hood and purchase them a hood rack for their trail hood. My 4runner is White.

I'm having a hard time conceptualizing how this rack will be functional. I don't see mounting points or enough real estate to put anything up there.

I maybe not seeing the obvious. Can someone provide some insight or photos?

SInce there is only one guy here with the rack he will honestly have to answer your question.

I see two rails and a tray. By tie down points are you referring to lack of round tube to tie rope or straps off of?

What is it your trying to haul on the roof?

I think you can answer those questions yourself. I see this as a low profile full length rack that is adjustable to suit a persons needs. Sure, it's not a solid expanded metal rack but it isn't designed to haul like that either. Mounts can be added by drilling holes where you need as well as adding in eyelets for tie down points from what I can see in the pictures. Maybe there is enough of a lip to slide under some ratchet straps, who knows.

I know I will be able to put my tools up there with some quick fists and my chain saw/fuel and some other light gear I don't want inside. I'm not going on month long safaris so a full mesh rack for me, is overkill.

I see this as a better setup than factory rails and strong as well. Add one more tray and you get more real estate if that is what your after. I don't think this is a direct competitor to Gobi or Baja racks, but an option for those who don't need so much rack and some modular ability. I see the prinsu as a similar competitor myself. You will honest not know until some is us get the racks and get real experience with them.

Hope that helps, at least my opinion and theory behind it.

Any freight updates for Hawaii?

The company is trying to get quotes from DHL since for me to ship was going to be super expensive. I want you guys to have the best deal you can get so we'll see what they say. They are busy at the moment trying to knock out the other 12 racks.

This is what I've been waiting for!

Please put me on the waiting list for the Echotechne 5th Gen 2016 4Rnr TRAIL PREMIUM GROUP BUY roof rack.

Does anyone know the total height difference of this rack vs. the stock OEM rack relative to the roof top? I have a garage with a clearance issue where the OEM rack clears by about half inch.

Also, does anyone know if a front over-windshield LED light bar like the Rigid SR 40" combo will somehow attach to this rack?

Anyone know how to add accessories like shovels, hi-lifts, tie-downs for cargo boxes, etc? Would love to see some load outs.

Most of your questions have been addressed. The height was stated to be the same as the OEM rails. No idea about the light bar. They are working on accessories for shovels, hi-lifts etc. [MENTION=109477]Rorck[/MENTION] can give you better details as they come I'm sure.
 
A little update on the tent. It's a little hard to mount the hard shell I got because it takes up the whole rack. I've been trying to be really creative and so far it's paying off. I love the low profile!!!!
