Toyota Tacoma 3rd Gen Spine Cab Rack Kit

The K9 Tacoma Spine Roof Rack System is the next level for Eezi-Awn.  It uses the same K9 Platform as their other roof rack systems, but now offers a unique single piece mounting system.  This new “Spine” mounting system is a lot less complex to install, and takes less time.

Capacity

Capacity of the K9 roof rack system is broken into two measurements, static weight and dynamic weight.  Static is when the vehicle is stationary. Dynamic is when the vehicle is in motion. We have not tested the K9 racks on vehicles to the point of roof failure.  We can tell you what we have tested ourselves effectively. A dynamic capacity in the range of 500 pounds is possible. A static capacity of 1000 pounds is possible.  An example of static load increase would be adding people in the tent on the roof. Please understand these capacities are on vehicles that have modified suspensions designed to manage this amount of weight.  They are not a warrantied or guaranteed capacity. Your load capacity will vary.

Installation

Installation of this rack system can be done by one person in approximately 1-1/2 hours.  Help lifting the platform on the roof would be appreciated. You start by removing the factory roof rack, then attach the K9 Spine Mounting System to the roof, followed by the platform on top.  Written instructions are also provided with each rack system.

System Components

The K9 Tacoma Spine Roof Rack System consists of a fully welded K9 platform, and the new Spine Mounting System, complete with all hardware.
