Would anyone with the 7/8 mind measuring how tall the rack is from the roof? Is it taller or shorter than the oem rack. Trying to see if the RTT that I'm interested in buying would clear my garage with the 7/8 rack. Any help is greatly appreciated.

This is my area of specialty. My carport is 78" tall so all of my decisions have been based around that. LFD racks are slightly taller (at 4.25" over the roof) than OEM but much shorter than the mounting solutions the OEM would require, such as Thule/Yakima crossbars. Hopefully you have a taller, non-standard garage and it might clear. That would be amazing.

would you mind taking a pic of the rack in relation to the height of the antenna?I have the LFD bars on my stock roof rails and they stick up higher than the stock rails.

Sure. Mine sits perfectly over the antenna with little clearance. Protects it and doesn't interfere with reception.

Looks great. Just bought my first 4Runner a few days ago. Looking to install cross bars (Thule likely) for kayak rack. Any tips on using the current factory set up versus changing it all out? Model 2016 Limited.

Spacing between fairing and roof- most racks seem to curve toward the roof at the front and contact the roof with the fairing (with some weatherstripping or the like). I think it looks more finished. How does everyone feel about the gap with these LFDs? I really like the look, but an worried it looks unfinished up front.. Any good photos of this issue?

We are testing curved front fairings for the full racks. We have 2 more prototypes of varying length getting cut, bent and welded next week.

Spray painted prototype version 1

Doesn't bother me in the least, but mine is on the factory rails so it sits back behind a bit so is less noticeable.

This and the height of the rack are my only (minor) complaints. I think the rack could have been designed to be at least an inch shorter and the fairing does bug me but it does not seem to create more wind noise the way it is designed.
This isn't a rack that follows the curves of the roof so there is some gap between the side rails and roof towards the front anyway. I'm getting used to it and since it's not a functional issue I can live with it.

I would like a way to cover up the silver stock bolts without pulling them and painting them.

I actually prefer the distance between the rack and the roof - it allows me to bolt and unbolt things without becoming a contortionist or having special tools.
