The Diode Dynamics DD8529 is the complete DEK Roof Rack and SS40 Stage Series Sport Dual-Color (DC) LED lightbar combo kit for the 2005–2023 Toyota Tacoma. This collaboration between Diode Dynamics and Kuat delivers a modular, low-profile roof rack system with fully integrated LED lighting — all in one clean, OEM-style package that requires no drilling for installation.
Adventure-Ready Construction
Built from durable yet lightweight metal, the DEK roof rack features adjustable crossbars that clear antennas and sunroofs, generous T-channels for mounting accessories, and a direct-mount installation design. The rack supports a 300 lb dynamic weight capacity, making it a serious hauler for overland gear, cargo boxes, and trail accessories. The custom fabrication process seamlessly integrates the LED lighting into the rack structure itself for a factory-finished appearance.
SS40 Stage Series Sport Dual-Color Lightbar
This combo includes the SS40 Stage Series Sport lightbar in the Dual-Color (DC) configuration, which pairs high-output white main beams with selectable multicolor inner segments. The SS40 Sport uses patented TIR optics to capture and direct nearly all light output precisely where it's needed — without glare or wasted light. The included Combo/Driving beam pattern blends long-range throw with wide foreground coverage in a single balanced output measuring approximately 60×30 degrees.
SmartSelect Dual-Color Technology
- Selectable multicolor backlight with eight color choices illuminates the TIR optic when the main beam is off for a distinctive accent appearance
- Dual-Color configuration features amber outer segments combined with selectable multicolor inner segments
- Dynamic welcome/startup sequence activates on power-on
- Patented SmartSelect technology lets you run inner segments only, outer segments only, or the full lightbar — no extra wiring or additional switches required; simply cycle the main beam power to change modes
