The crossbars are 47" wide, total width from the outside of the side rails is about 47 3/8".

Love this rack. Wish I didn’t already have a 7/8 Rhino. Great designs overall, big fan.
A couple suggestions
I have been experimenting with fairings. The wind noise on the Rhino is pretty bad. While a fairing that starts at the roof and stops at the top of the rack makes a big difference with an unloaded rack I have gone to a fairing that starts at the roof and goes 7” above the rack. While large looking it has made a HUGE difference with noise loaded and unloaded. In fact noise is pretty close to no rack with the sunroof open on the highway. I think if you had a fairing that could extend up for loads and down (behind) for an empty rack it would be the best of both worlds. I have been having mine water jet cut out of aluminum to eliminate flex at speed over plastic, then using bedliner.
Black hardware. Black oxide is not super durable. I have been using PCbolts.com for SS hardware for my C4 ladder, rack, light hardware, and wheel faux bead lock bolts. They offer 4 different blacks, I have been using the matte which looks great on the ladder. Much more durable and they have a proprietary method that prevent chipping while torquing them down. Maybe they would offer a MOQ deal to you. Just a thought.

Hey Victory, do you guys have any mounts that attach to your crossbar extrusions that allow mounting of accessories from Thule and the like? I was looking at kayak mounts, and everything looks like it's designed to attach to round/aero crossbars, curious if you have any adapters in the works or other suggestions.

I would think the channels in the Victory would work the same as the channels in newer aerodynamic bars from both Yakima and Thule. Likely different T-nuts. But you should be able to directly mount most of the new accessories.
I did a Yakima direct mount tower into my channels on a Rhino, and just snap my Yakima bars with ski mounts on and lock. Super fast and easy, but I wanted clearance for ski bindings. I don’t know how my method would work for the Victory though. I have some ideas though if you are interested
Yeah, I'm curious what your setup is if you don't mind sharing. In my limited searching, I wasn't seeing ones that mount in a channel, just the kind that clamp the crossbar. Sounds like what you have is what I was interested in.

Here are my bars
JetStream - Roof Rack Crossbars | Yakima
towers
SkyLine - Roof Rack Towers | Yakima
Landing pad. Since my rack has the cross bars going front to back, these work perfect for me.
Landing Pad 7 (Set of Two)
But since this rack and most others have left to right bars, the towers won’t work unless you had a bracket made. Easy and cheap, and I would help if you want. But, I think the best solution are their rails mount at the edges.
These would be easy to mount into the Victory t-slot, low profile, you could then just leave the landing pad attached. This would also allow you to easily slide the Yakima rack back and forth, all the way apart for kayaks and closer for skis, bikes etc.
54” Tracks w/ PlusNut Hardware
Some products from them may seem like they don’t direct mount but they do. I use the Fat Tracks for skis and they make a direct mount kit for them .
I think the Victory rack with the Yakima rails would be crazy versatile. Wish I had it!

Would you mind verifying the measurement between the bottom of the crossbars and the highest point of the roof? Your site states:
"Rack sits 2.5" above the highest point of the roof (center point)."
But what is the 2.5" to? Just want to verify the clearance before I pull the trigger. I've been torn between yours and the Prinsu but they are stating it's only 3/4" between middle of the roof and the bottom of their crossbars.
Thanks.

My 3/4 rack showed up the other day. Now I just need to make time to install it. Hoping to this weekend and will post pics/opinions after doing so.

Installed the 3/4 rack yesterday.
The good:
- Was packaged well.
- Powder coating overall was well done.
- Assembly was easy and straight forward. * If you watch the install video they use the full-length rack for the install. For 3/4 rack you should absolutely not install the front panel on the rack as instructed prior to placing it on the top. I had to remove it in order to get better access to the mounting bolts which secure the front rack mounts to the vehicle.
- Seems very strong and secure on top of the 4R.
The not-so-good:
- There was a couple of tiny spots where it looks like the powder coating was rubbed off due to handling prior to shipment.
- There was 2 scratches on the front valance piece - for a brand new item, I would expect not to see them upon receipt.
Have only driven the past day but at speeds up to ~65MPH there is no noticeable wind noise. Perhaps since it's 3/4 length and not full and the front panel is behind me, but even with the windows down I didn't notice any change from factory rails. No squeaks or rattles, etc.

Different T-nuts are definitely required. For instance, I have Yakima Fat Cat ski racks which use "Yakima SmartT-Slot Kit 2" to mount to the channels in the aero bars. The T-nuts do not fit in the channels of the Victory 4x4 rack, regrettably.
This is slightly off topic, but my research (yet to verify) is that the Yakima kit is an M6 so I imagine this will require finding the right bolt/washer combination to fit into the Victory 4x4 channel.

Just discovered Victory 4x4 through a Trail4Runner article. All their products are very impressive. Thanks for making an integrated collection. Just bought my 4Runner yesterday and it’s top of the list, especially since I just read about the new rear bumper. [emoji16]
I really like the look of their stuff and their website says that lead times are quite short. The roof rack looks pretty similar the the SSO roof rack that I put in 2 weeks ago. I've been looking at C4 and SSO for winch bumpers but Victory has piqued my interest with the stuff that they have come out with lately.

It may clear just fine, but you can always run the rack with no rear fairing.

Looks nice. How is the wind noise between 65 & 80?
