Roof Rack Question (2nd/3rd Gen)
Does anyone know if the 2nd/3rd gen OEM roof rack supports (the U channels that bolt to the roof) are the same profile/shape/extrusion? I'm pretty sure they are different lengths, but I cant find any info on profile? Anyone out there have any knowledge on this?

The classified section does. Look for someone parting out a 4runner.

I picked up an entire roof rack (for powerdercoating) at the local junkyard for 20 bucks. Included those brackets.
