You're Hawaiian. Can't you just bend those bars by hand?

Thanks, really appreciate it! honestly my dad is a fabricator and we just picked the tubing from the tons of metal in our garage, so we didn't spend anything. Just used 3/4" and 1" aluminum, I believe you can get a bunch of that stuff for cheap

I just got my 2000 4runner and was surprised by the two black tracks. I was expecting a channel that thule or whoever make standard feet for. Any idea if this was just some cheap factory option or was a fair amount of hardware removed by the previous owner?
If I move back to the Midwest, I have a buddy who is getting into building bike frames and I may just "steel" this idea and make it out of cro-mo.

The black tracks come standard with 4r's that dont come with the factory roof rack. I know thule and yakima make
feet for the crossmembers, and im pretty sure they install into the gutter outside of the tracks, but I cant say for
sure because I have never used them... they are expensive.
thats cool, simple designs are the best
