Factory Roof Rack *need help*
I bought my '99 4Runner used and it didn't come with the factory roof rack. It has the black rails along the top but no rack. I don't have a pic of my rig but the one below shows what I'm talking about.
I really like the look of the factory roof rack and was wondering if it would be possible to attach one to the rails I have on my roof now. Assuming I can find a factory rack, which I anticipate might be kinda hard?, does anyone know if I would be able to easily attach it to the rails? Anyone done anything similar?

I have the rails. Here's a pic of what I have on my roof:
Would it be possible to attach the factory rack to those?

sorry, but they would not work with those rails. those are more like covers. let me try to snap some of the rails that are used for the cross bar.

That's what I was afraid of. They didn't look like I would be able to attach anything to them but I was hopeful someone might know how to make it work.
Does anyone know how I could go about trying to hook up a factory roof rack to my car? Either some way to rig it up to what I have now or a replacement of what I have now with the rails that work with the factory rack?

those are the rails that are used in place of your black strip to attach the cross bar.

Ahh ok gotcha. So I'm gonna need to get those rails and replace what I have now and then I'll be able to attach the factory rack?

An OEM replacement will be pricey.
Several members have removed their rack, post a WTB in the For Sale forum.
Another option is a junk yard. More work but will cost less.

Ok thanks for you help, guys. I guess I'll start looking around for that rail system and see what I can find.
