Roof mounts

[tommyboy]

Is there hole already in the roof for a roof rack on a 2012 tacoma?

I'm 50% sure that there are mounting holes underneath the rubber trim. Only one way to find out!! (Technically, there are more ways than one, but how is that any fun?)

I bought Toyota's factory rack took 15 mins to install. All racks should have the correct bolts size if ordered for your year make model.

I just have to buy those and then some other cross bars that can be adjusted so I can run my roof basket I got

The Toyota rack base doesn't have a channel that you can really mount other brackets or crossbars to, and it also isn't a very rigid rack compared to something like Yakima or Thule rated to carry a max total load "evenly distributed" of just 100 lbs. I have one and am considering moving to something more like the Front Runner Slimline II or the Warrior platform which are much more robust, more versatile, and, IMO look better.

I only bought the factory rack to put ski/snowboard rack on it to then hold fishing rods! Nothing heavy up on the roof! The bed if for heavier ****!!

It's just for looks and some light stuff
