Made major progress toward being Baja Ready this weekend with the addition of a Yakima roof rack to the Tacoma. I was a little nervous about drilling holes in that nice Leer shell, but amazingly I got through it with nary a mistake. Take note, Dad, that it actually does make a difference to have sharp (and straight) drill bits and a tape measur that had never been broken, discarded, found, and then 'fixed'.
That thing on top is the Loadwarrior basket, with the optional extender. The great thing about the raingutter towers and sideloader brackets is that when the rack is removed, all that's left is a little 6-inch by 1-inch strip of black metal bolted to the shell. This is important to Shanna because she doesn't like driving around looking like a 'neck....
