Aftermarket “OE TRD Pro Style” Roof Rack on eBay

Just came across this “OE TRD Pro Style” Roof Rack on eBay.

Anyone get one yet?

Also looks like the seller used some pictures of some rigs found on this forum.

EDIT: Buyer Beware! Read Post #35

 

It says TRD Pro (style) rack and do not specify its in fact oem? might be a spin off, or not. I would email seller and verify it's oem

 

According to the eBay description Item Specifics, it looks to me its not OEM.

 

I was wondering when we would see replica TRD roof racks. the seller should at least post pictures of the replica instead of real TRD pro racks.

For that price, I would pay a bit more and get the real deal.

 

In one place it states OE TRD PRO Style Roof Rack, which would lead you to believe it is an oem, but the Pro style vs the standard. In another place it says OE Factory Style Roof Rack TRD PRO, which isn't quite the same, so no telling. An email to the seller is needed if interested.

Would an aftermarket mfg. bother to make one out of aluminum?

 

After looking at the sellers eBay store, I highly doubt that it’s a genuine Toyota OEM TRD Pro roof rack. Especially brand new at a price shipped for $480.

 

Maybe the person who bought one, per the ad, will turn up on 4R.com and fill us in on the fit & finish...

 

My guess that person that bought one assumes it’s genuine OEM Toyota and will be disappointed when it arrives to find out it’s not.

 

I contacted seller just for grins.

 

Let us know what you find out.

 

The word “style” is the same as “replica”

 

the info
the seller is based in US at least you have 90 days to send it back

 

Any actual pictures?

 

Pretty sure WallyTR4 found the pic

 

thanks.. obviously it’s a replica

 

Ok which one of you bought one? Currently all sold out.

When I first posted the link, the listing only had 2 watchers.

Early this morning when I looked, it had over 20 watchers.

 

Lol

 

I’m waiting for these buyers pics soon

 

Received response from seller - just as most suspected:

New message from: parts-ave (5,507)
It is after market parts

 

Did you ask for pics ?

 

I asked the seller for actual pictures of the rack off the truck. His response

 

Keep in mind that the OEM rack is also made by an external vendor, not Toyota itself. Sometimes, manufacturers in other countries will generously "license" themselves to make identical items for direct sale to costumers. Get a bit more of that pie for themselves. Often the parts are identical or nearly so.

 

that's what were trying to find out

 

I did not. I was just curious if it was an OEM or aftermarket rack, which, apparently, may not be any different.

 

That eBay seller will eat up a bunch of return shipping costs when a good chance that buyers will likely return the item especially without actual pictures. And eBay will side with the buyer if he or she decides to file a claim.

 

So any feedback on this aftermarket rack from the ones that bought one? C’mon guys, let us know

 

Back in stock. Who wants to buy one and do a review?

 

The seller never sent me pictures

 

I’ll send a message to send pictures. Let’s see what the seller says.

 

two dudes be selling it now. might be one guy 2 accounts, not sure
