Platform Style Roof Rack Compatible with 2010-2024 Toyota 4Runner | Cargo Storage Carrier for Outdoors Gear| Paintable Accent Inserts to Color Match | TG-RR1T33668

This roof rack is extremely durable. I have not noticed the slightest bit of wind noise coming from it while at 80 mph. It was a pretty complicated install. And some of the extra Drilling was a bit of a nightmare. Anyone buying it will want to make sure they have some very good metal drill bits. That is if you're buying the extended version that requires extra drilling. Some of the parts were a bit tricky to figure out where they belonged. So it took me a lot longer than I had hoped. (about 10 hours) Since I'm retired I'm not complaining. And I certainly can't complain with how nice it looks and how well it works. The T Channel rails that go across are extremely adaptable to a lot of accessories. I plan on adding a lot to it. So thanks for the quality product at a decent price.

Love the roof rack, easy to install. The instructions could be a little better but was able to assemble bit by bit on the top of the car solo. Have not attempted drilling for increased load weight. Will attempt at a later date. In addition the 40 inch light bar with the inward mount brackets I believe is false advertising as I purchased a 40inch based on this description and would not fit.

Assembly was pretty easy...just read the manual. The manual in the box was 9 pages, but the online manual was 14 pages. The 5 extra pages on the online manual was for Option B...if you decided to drill. I decided for Option A (non-drill). First, organize the parts and hardware, then prep the rig. Remove stock rails and clean stock mount locations. Add the 2 hole stickers to the spacers. Add silicone (not included) around the stock bolt locations....and install and press spacers down....some silicone may squeeze into the spacer holes...if this happens, clear it. Later, add the square stickers to the spacers for weatherproofing. I did not have an extra pair of hands, so I installed it piece by piece on my rig. I threw an old bed cover on the roof to protect from scratches. I installed the driver side rails first with the 4 brackets. I added more silicone in the hole before inserting the bolt for peace of mind....the bolts were lightly tighten with some play in the brackets. Note: each bracket is labeled if you look close enough. "D..." for driver side....and "P..." for passenger side. There are distinct notches on the brackets too...so based on the manual...you will know which is #1 (front) to #4 (rear). Then I installed the passenger side rails. Next the front valance and then the rear piece to finish up the frame. Note the frame is made of carbon steel. It has a nice finish on it....and the reason why this rack weighed 75 lbs. Again, everything was lightly tighten with some play. Next, I installed the 8 aluminum rails (lightly tightening them). I started buttoning it down with the aluminum rails first, then decided on the height of the rack, then tighten the bolts at bracket #2 and #4 (bracket #1 and #3 sits on the weather strip) to the rig. I finally tighten the front valance and the rear. Done!!

Assembly wasn’t that difficult. Instructions were clear. Only issue was weak point in the middle of the left and right side pieces. I was taking the plastic and tape off and had one of the side pieces standing upwards on its end and pulled down subtly to tear the bubble wrap off and the entire piece buckled right in the middle. I would find a way to strengthen the middle of the side pieces to prevent that.

Very happy with the rack, but be warned it can be flimsy depending on what you decide to mount. I mounted a full size 270 awning and it did bounce around a little, but withstood a trip to TN from FL and bouncing around on the trials without any issue. The assembly directions are horrible, so take time to reviews photos and make sure the parts line up correctly.

Excellent roof rack for the money. Delivery was quick. You can mount it to the existing roof holes but I decided to drill two more for the front support. Instructions are really bad when it comes to the mounting brackets to the roof. It comes with different angle brackets and I had to lift it up to the roof and confirm which one is front which one is center (middle) and the rear one. Mounted on 2024 TRD Sport. Likewise very good roof rack.

Overall this rack is ok, I was very disappointed by the damage and missing hardware. Considering this is a more expensive budget friendly roof rack I believe it shouldn’t have had the issues it did (see photos). I made it work as I have an upcoming trip and didn’t want to waste time with returning or dealing with customer service to replace the damaged and missing parts. If I had the time I would have returned the rack and maybe bought a higher end one. Lesson learned.

The finished product looks really nice! It did take me like 5 hours to assemble and install by myself but overall I think it was worth it. The instructions do call for some serious concentration to understand them. Rack feels real sturdy once assembled and good quality! The aluminum parts I’m like on the border because they’re feel strong once assembled but also a little brittle by themselves. I’ll be trying it out with a roof rack tent soon.
