Uh oh. I think you're going to start getting orders for your self-built carrier! Love your pics. It looks very functional.

Unfortunately, I don't have a tow pkg. as I have another vehicle for that work. Hmmm, Toyota accessories needs to come up with something. Chrome would look good too!

I suppose you could put that stuff on the roof. My rack is the factory one. I just pulled the top level off. I don't put anything up there. You'd be surprised how it affects your center of gravity. As I get very close to rolling my truck on a regular basis on the trail, I'd like to keep the center of gravity as low as I can.
I'm going to make myself a new receiver rack that sits a bit lower. I'm also going to try to make it a lot lighter. Using new steel, instead of random leftover scraps I have lying around should help that.
Here's a quick clip of how close I can get to rolling my truck...
