Hey diesel, check out the Chevy ZR2 bison. Right now I am looking at it and it seems more promising out the gate than the taco, plus diesel. I guess we shall see what truck I get!
Had a FRO rack on my GX470. Of all the upgrades I put on it I have to say that one was the most practical and worth the money. The accessory mounts are great. It was also easy to make some DIY mounts for a spare tire and traction boards. Hope to eventually get one on my Tacoma.
Hey Mike! My wife and I really enjoy your weekenderlander videos, and your campung gear reviews! Were planning to start doing weekend trips in the northeast and thinking of a 4runner or Tacoma. Your reviews and camping videos are very helpful as we plan on how to start this new adventure. Also being in the military your EDC videos gives me good ideas to bring out to field training exercises. We are looking forward for more weekenderlander videos, and she’s going to be excited to hear that Ashley is starting her own channel!
Just a quick heads up for anyone who wants to buy the Front Runner 3 bar kit for their diamondback HD/SE: Checked Diamondback's website and both 2 bar and 3 bar kits are sold out (as of 05/26/2020). The 3 bar kit is sold for $659, however Front Runner's website has the 3 bar kit in stock and is selling it for $595! I just placed my order and can't wait to install it :D
After watching your videos and watching all the fun you have with your Tacoma I have ended up deciding to buy one this week. :) plan to try and make it similar to yours!!!!
I had the same problem with my light bar whistling and vibrating when mounted above the wind shield. The remedy is this go to the auto parts store and purchase a roll of protective trim for automotive door edge and apply it to all of the lower cooling find on the light bar. This will stop the whistling and vibrating 100 percent. I did this and I have not had any problem with it since and it doesn't affect the cooling aspect of the fins.
I really *want* to like the FrontRunner, the Prinsu just looks way too good to me... definitely one of those things where I just had to go with looks over function for once lol.
Could we get a video about why you switched back to BFG and why you got new rims? Would be interesting to hear performance thoughts about the Falkens compared to the KO2s
Liam Laughlin why did you hate them? I would like to get some after my current set need replaced, curious on your thoughts. I currently have wrangler duratracs and while they are basically almost mud tires, the ride is rough as expected. The price to pay for aggressive look I guess
Hell yea brother! I draw a ton of inspiration from your videos, especially the ones focused on the Tacoma. I'm trying to make mine kind of a "south Texas beach/ woods camping, but can still be functional on the ranch" taco.
Great content! Love the diversity that keeps this page very interesting! .... Now to decide on whether I'm getting the 4Runner like I originally planned... or a Taco
I ordered a diamondback cover and I'm waiting for it to come in I've only seen 2 other trucks in the town I live near with them one was a tacoma that I saw I'm my neighborhood and the other was an f150 it looked good on both can't wait for mine to get here and get it installed.
@@LastLineOfDefense Pretty much only you saying that. Most of us have at least opened up and stopped making excuses for not wanting to spend money for a customer care staff.
Love to see the Frontrunner Diamondback collaboration now. Albeit a little more in cost than KB Voodoo which does not require drilling. Also digging the non diamond pattern on the covers as an option. Keeping it innovative, DB. Thanks Mike for the content!
You do a great job showing us and explaining everything, Thank you for that. May I ask, What do you do for a living? If you're uncomfortable answering, it's no problem, Have a great weekend🚙🌟
I love my 2020 TRD Pro army green but your black multi cam wrap is awesome! I have a KC M rack with the Pro6 and you’re going to love them can’t wait to see what your thoughts are on those lights. I am a junkie of your videos thanks for being my dealer lol.
This is versatile roof rack but old school design i jave 4runner I ordered but send it back coz you have to hole the roof to install which i dont want to make holes in roof now im ordering different and sleek design roof rack.
Prinsu is a great rack but one thing I have noticed right out the gate is the Front Runner slats are so much beefier then the generic 80/20 extrusion slats of the Prinsu.
Thanks for this vid. That's a beautiful roof rack. A question though. Can the roof of a pickup cab with either crossbars or a roof rack like the Slimline on top, support the weight of a popup tent like say the iKamper 3 mini or the larger Roofnest Sparrow2, while driving but also parked with one or two adults sleeping inside? I'd rather put the popup tent above the cab, and keep the bed free for other things. I'm actually leaning towards a Ford F150 Platinum or Raptor, and if the answer to my question is a clear yes then putting a Diamondback HD bedcover over the bed. Maybe adding the lower 6" high Front Runner crossbars on top of the Diamondback to use for other reasons, but maintaining ease of access to opening the cover. I'd want either crossbars or the every other slat version of the slimline rack that you have above the cab, as long as one or both easily supported the popup tent weight above the cab. I love that cab top table mount too, as long as it is behind and not above all or at least most of the sunroof view, though I'd look at the slimmer one before deciding. Thanks.
Great looking rack but don’t like that drop for the crossbars on front runner, so I went with the K9 rack and really like it. I can mount things flat on it.
Your videos are always informative and entertaining! I have to compliment you on your Tacoma’s appearance. If that’s a camouflage wrap where can I get one for mine? I have a white 2019 TRD Pro that looks good, but that camo is great!
Love my Front Runner rack on my Xterra. I've got all sorts of their accessories for lugging gear around. Including a new awning that UPS literally just dropped off today. Soooo, ima go install that right meow! I've also been contemplating the wind deflector but I really don't see the need. And I'm not sure about it getting in the way of a light bar if I go that route.
@@Niloc1922 Not true. Even if materials for this table only cost $200 there are still machine costs and you also want to make a profit. Youre also comparing to a much larger corporation who has for more resources to make things cheaper. There is one reason for you.
WARNING to anyone who is considering buying anything from Frontrunner. I watched this video and recently bought the Slimline II roof rack from Frontrunner for my ikamper tent. Turns out that this roof rack is not compatible with the ikamper unless you buy additional parts from Frontrunner which cost hundreds of dollars. Trying to return their product has been a nightmare. Their website claims “30 days money back guarantee” but what they don’t tell is that product will be considered "used" if you take it out of the box and assemble it and you will be charged shipping both ways and a 20% restocking fee. My fault for not looking at the fine print of their return policy before I bought and just believing their "money back guarantee." Will never buy anything from this company again and advise anyone considering buying from them to carefully review their return policy prior to purchasing. Hoping to save someone else the trouble of dealing with them.
Would be interesting to see a video of you truck and comparing it to one of the 2020 trucks and hear your opinion of the new toys the 2020 comes with.... Multi terrain monitoring etc.
@@LastLineOfDefense do you wish you had any of the new tech? I only ask as I am looking at the 2020 trd OR and the ones with the "fancy tech toys" are few and far between down in south florida.... :)
Mike, wondering if you are planning on getting/reviewing the new frontrunner/diamondback rack system? Seems like it would be a great fit for your Tacoma!
Are you going to install a camper shell or truck canopy in order to either store gear or sleep in the bed or both on the Tacoma? And which would you prefer - the Tacoma or Front Runner to camp in - as in sleep in your truck/SUV if you could only own one vehicle?
I have this rack on my new Tacoma TRD PRO double cab, but I'm confused about weight limits on the top of my truck. Could I put an iKamper Skycamp mini on the top of the cab on that front runner rack? plus 2 people?

Love hearing the hummingbirds zipping around.
Awsome, my wife is very happy about Ashley youtube. She loves women talking about camping and such
Some barkeepers friend cleaner on the front runner table will clean the stains right up.
Think you just sold me on this rack Mike! Thanks for all the knowledge share. Appreciate you!
Just a quick heads up for anyone who wants to buy the Front Runner 3 bar kit for their diamondback HD/SE:

Bought one for my 4runner last week. One of the local guys has one for his Land Rover and the quality is top notch.
Can hardly wait to see how the bed cover works with the bed rack!
After watching your videos and watching all the fun you have with your Tacoma I have ended up deciding to buy one this week. :) plan to try and make it similar to yours!!!!
I’m running the front runner rack on my Jeep Jk and I love it.
Just when I thought the truck couldnt look any better. Wish Front Runner would make a rack for first gens. Those wheels are sick!!!

Love that table mount idea! Great way to use up that dead space in there.
I could not live without my front runner and table so worth the money
That camo wrap is solid.
Glad to see you're doing well during this crazy time Mike. Love seeing the updates to your rig. Cant wait to see more videos in the future!!
Wow that Tacoma looks so sick with fancy army wrapping.
Nice to see the Taco outside...those wheels are siiiiick...
I really *want* to like the FrontRunner, the Prinsu just looks way too good to me... definitely one of those things where I just had to go with looks over function for once lol.
100% agree. FrontRunner hands down is a great product. A close buddy of mine has one on his 4Runner. But the Prinsu just looks so good on the Tacoma.
Could we get a video about why you switched back to BFG and why you got new rims? Would be interesting to hear performance thoughts about the Falkens compared to the KO2s
I want the same haha I had k02s and hated them and now I have the falkens and love them! Very confused haha
Liam Laughlin why did you hate them? I would like to get some after my current set need replaced, curious on your thoughts. I currently have wrangler duratracs and while they are basically almost mud tires, the ride is rough as expected. The price to pay for aggressive look I guess
Thanks for another great vid of your rack systems. Can’t wait to see how the new HD cover looks. Cheers.
Hell yea brother! I draw a ton of inspiration from your videos, especially the ones focused on the Tacoma. I'm trying to make mine kind of a "south Texas beach/ woods camping, but can still be functional on the ranch" taco.
Front Runner has more accessories than all of the other companies combined. I am currently running Rhino Rack on my jeep which has similar engineering
Great content! Love the diversity that keeps this page very interesting! .... Now to decide on whether I'm getting the 4Runner like I originally planned... or a Taco
Dude get a container of Bar keepers friend to clean that stainless steel table it will look good as new! youre welks!
I had to go buy a new truck because of these videos. Heading to Breck in July for some weekenderlanding bring on some more videos!
Would love to see some MTB’s mounted up there, and of course mike rippin some wheelies!
Damn Mike; you keep up and you're gonna go Tacoma camping with a rig and equipment more expensive then a Prevost! Hahaha.

We went to front runner to buy a rack. Their customer service is closed for my safety. That's gonna be it for us, not much of an experience.
Ah, yeah safety is dumb.

The new rack looks good my guy! 🤙🏼 #futureproofing esp with all the potential accessories
Just FYI. I got mine in and you can flip that wind ferring. Its just black on the back.
Haha yeah another commenter mentioned it, I guess I was too dumb to think of that!
Love the look of those wheels...I looked at them a while ago -but reviews said they were heavy heavy and some rust issues! Let me know what you think.
Which wheels?

Missed the Tacoma! Great video thanks Mike, you gotta do a weekenderlander soon!
Man I hope they gave you that roof rack. Prinsu is way bette!r purchased mine from your recommendation and love it.

Chunky deflector, still looks decent. How is wind noise?
Looks awesome! I love my Front Runner rack!!
Peeping the new wheels... they look killer Mike!
Is there a way to have that table mount so it doesn't interfere with your sunroof at all?
Great looking rack but don’t like that drop for the crossbars on front runner, so I went with the K9 rack and really like it. I can mount things flat on it.
Looking at a taco! And watching all these videos I am going to need to work a lot of overtime!😂

Did you say there were pelican case mount for the frontrunner roof rack? If so, can you send a link?
Interested in the kc video. Been thinking about adding it to my truck.
im over here using a basket on top of oem roof rails, but these racks are cool though

Bro, forget the rack, let's tak about that paintjob! 🔥
$400 for a camp table. Come on son....
Mike McKenna not a big deal if you don’t have to pay for it.
Its stainless... May not be good enough justification for you but stainless is more expensive than plastic haha
IKR.. I can use any cheap collapsable table and will work exactly the same... Some products are made for fools though lol

Do the perimeter channels exist underneath as well??
How is the windfairing holding up against noise at highway speeds bro?

Nice " They Live" glasses..
Lol its scary how he looks like both Roddy Piper and Matt Ogus at the same time in this video
haha
hey man!!! what is your opinion on high clearance bumpers? love the content. ☺
Will the front runner bolt right up in place of the Prinsu or will new holes need to be drilled into the roof?
Does this roof rack come with stainless bolts?
Very nice wish they had it for Hilux
Quick question about the weboost setup. I noticed the cable running down the back of the cab. Where does it go into the cab at?
Can you make a glk 19 /tlr1 holster. Please
Is that lip around the outside on both sides? If not, do you think it can it be flipped?
Hey Mike love your videos. What did you do with your prinsu. Any chance your selling it?
Is the powder coating holding up? Any rust on the hardware (screws) yet?
More videos yay!
Does your Sunroof remain operable with this roof rack and those table mounts, or only without them?
Hello, does the rack come with the weather stripping that goes along the channels on the roof?
Are you going to install a camper shell or truck canopy in order to either store gear or sleep in the bed or both on the Tacoma? And which would you prefer - the Tacoma or Front Runner to camp in - as in sleep in your truck/SUV if you could only own one vehicle?
No plans - love the Diamondback / Front Runner rack setup I've been running for awhile.

wheres the link to the frontrunner setup for use with the diamondack cover?>?
did you have to drill your roof to install? I have a flush rail on my car, would I be able to get it working easily?
