If you're thinking about going all in on Cali Raised products for overlanding... Here’s a full breakdown based on my install and first month of use.

1. Roof Rack

The installation was super straightforward. No drilling required on the 2025 model. It uses factory mounting points under the roof trim. I added the optional LED Light Bar in the front and used RTV to seal every bolt just to be safe. I put RTV in the hole before putting the bolt in, and some on the bolt as well. I do not want my 2025 Tacoma to have any water damage! The front fairing and crossbar adjustability are nice touches. It took me about 2 hours to put it all together and about 30 minutes to get it up onto the truck and bolted down. I had some help putting it onto the truck since I didn't want to damage anything haha! I would 100% recommend having help putting the rack onto the roof.

2. Bed Rack

The bed rack is mounted directly to the bed rails. No drilling needed on this one either! It does take some time to line up both sides evenly, but once bolted down, it’s rock solid. I chose the tall height rack specifically since I knew I was going to be getting the topper rack for my rooftop tent compatibility. You do not need the topper rack if you do not have the wedge style roof top tent.

3. Bed Rack Topper Rack

This bolts directly onto the bed rack uprights, creating a continuous “bridge” from the bed rack to the roof rack. The alignment is spot on with the roofline and gives the whole truck a perfect look. I was really hoping it was going to line up perfectly and not be wider than the front rack, and they both line up 100%! If you get the bed rack and topper rack at the same time, put the topper rack onto the bed rack before installing. You have to take the top cross bars off the bed rack to put the topper rack on.

4. LED Light Bar

This makes the front end of the truck POP. I am so glad I got the light bar, I will update this thread once I get a picture of how bright it is at night and the difference between Amber & White.

The build quality of Cali Raised products is absolutely perfect, and I will continue to rock their brand.

(Some may ask, "Why pink traction boards?", my fiancé daily drives it, and I'm waiting for my 2025 4Runner, haha, she loves the color pink)

I just got the Cali Raised skid plates for my 4G, and the quality and fitment are 10/10! Plus, everything they make just goes along with the 4G styling so well.
