It took me a while to decide, I like some features of the wescott one, like how they have a cutout of a Tacoma on their logo plate/bottle opener thing; but from the pictures it doesn't look like they have any way to slide bots/nuts into the channels like Prinsu does so if you need to mount anything, you always have to remove the bars and that's what made me chose Prinsu over Wescott. Nothing a mill can't fix if you have one.
How’s the wind noise?Classic rack, not the far more expensive pro
It went down by about 2 mpg.. I now average about 20ish on my mostly highway commute.

I just installed mine, had an issue with the aluminum spacers. They provided me with two sizes (3/8” and 5/8”), but the hardware wasn’t long enough to thread into holes in the roof.Classic rack, not the far more expensive pro
I ran into the same issue and even sent them an email about it but they never responded or even acknowledged it. The simple fix would have been to include longer bolts for the rear; but I ended up getting enough weight on the rear of the rack to push it down just enough to where I could thread 1 bolt, and then after tightening it a bit I was able to thread the other. IIRC the longer spacer does go in the rear but I could be wrong--it's which ever spacer gives you the same amount of gap as in the front; neither foot should be touching the body.
yeah that’s more or less the same technique I used to get it mounted.
