I do have the roof rail delete kit from Toyota for removing those rails and to seal up the holes but not sure if it'll work on this rack.
Anyone remove it yet? I assume its the same holes and location points as the other 4Runners.

I just removed them...t40 torx and yes all 5th gens are the same. It’s a PITA with the red loctite. tip, don’t break the screws loose w/o the other pair still in and use PB blaster (or equivalent).
There is a bracket that holds the pair of 2 nuts (where the screws go in) tac welded to the underside of the roof that can break off. If this happens you cannot unscrew them since the nut on the underside of the roof with the bracket will spin freely. I ended up having to take the rear headliner down a little to access the nuts and bracket.
Hard to explain but I will post some pics shortly that should help.
