Roof Racks

I was wondering if you guys could post some pics of your aftermarket roof racks. I would like to get one with some lights on it for my 4runner. Oh can you tell me the name of the ones you guys have.Thanks

try searching, there are plenty of threads about roof racks, but right now costco has a sale on their roof racks. You can buy one for $75 instead of the average price of $300.

In California "Cali" they say "hella" all the time instead of "hell of alot" that was the sole reason I bought KC lights. I hate when people say "hella" for "hell of alot"


on topic though I have been wanting to buy from this guy for a while I just never have the $ when he has the time http://blackoutaz.com/racks.htm he sales on eBay and lives in the same town as me so I can get as custom as I want.

Both 4Runners have Yakima LoadWarriors. the 2nd thread has more detail about how it mounts.

I'm a little confused about your question, are you asking roof RACK or roof BASKET? costco has the Coleman BASKET for $75 shipped, great deal. i carried a full size spare tire w/steel rim on it on my trip to pismo, worked great. i can send you pictures if you want.

racks are another story, too much to talk about. but i did see chris(slosurfer)'s rig this weekend, he had a Thule rack, which very very nice, much better in terms of fit than my ol' Yakima SST's.

See .........Little Red Riding Hood (4WD version) would have a roof basket instead of a rack for all of her goodies to take to Grandma , then when she saw the Big Bad Wolf she could run him down breaking him up badly yet not hurting the truck because she has a Nice Welded Tube Brush Gaurd
