I've seen it done, and I know you could find clips to fit your truck, but they do look a little goofy. I have seen people put one crossbar on their topper, and two over the cab (or two on the topper and one on the cab), which is nice for weight distribution if you keep your topper on most of the time. The price is right though, so it might be worth a try.

my buddy has the same rack on his taco one on the cab and one on the topper it looks good on his.

I have also seen a guy around town with a basket on the cab part of his 1st gen 4runner when he has the top off. it is a smaller basket but it looked goo on the truck as well

the price they are asking is a pretty good deal.

Pics of atv rack

Here are the pics of the atv rack, the side fold down with lock pins, hockey pucks for spacers (I know "HOW CANADIAN CAN YOU BE) but there are made of great rubber lol.,
