I'm guessing they've done some market research to confirm they'll be able to sell more than 5 of these roof racks for pickup trucks? It just doesn't seem like that hot of an idea to me, but I'm not a marketing guy...

It's really not a roof rack but it's an anti rollbar. When it starts leaning to far one way it automatically shifts the weight to opposite side.... They need Noah's Certification before production.

they have had a few requests for these so i imagine its enough interest. pretty cool design though, being able to change out parts. one tacoma has 2 50in light bars on the front so you can customize it any way you like

might be good for a trip or something but I doubt I could run it full time.

I'm definitely not the target market, but I think it might be better aesthetically if it either didn't go as far forward or followed the curve at the front of the cab. Of course powder coating it black might also fix this problem.

Again though, I'm far from the target market, don't like the idea of the added drag or mass up high.

Ask them to design one to go on top of a tonneau cover that is removable. Now that I would be interested in

There's tonneau covers designed to carry loads, like the Diamondbacks. I guess there's people who need to carry more than what the bed holds, so a roof rack comes in handy.

Not sure I like it. The idea of more storage is always appealing. The look might be worth it if it could go on/off easily.

Looks like it's for a vehicle that doesn't have a large truck bed in the back.

Plus, when I dry my roof the sheet metal presses in and pops back out. I wouldn't trust it to support a lot of weight.
