Some of the thule boxes have a centre and outer portion that hangs lower for extra storage. unless you have only two cross bars you might not be able to mount one to a rack unless it's short

this is what I'm talking about. you might not be able to fit thule force or motion on a rack. if you currently have a thule box on your rack which one is it?

Does anyone have a light bar mounted on the fairing of the 7/8ths rack? I've seen some old pictures of a fairing mount but it doesn't seem to be an option anymore.

Rack Sealant

I know this topic has already been beaten to death, but has anyone experienced any leaks even after proper silicone application? I used some butyl tape around the plastic guides and then siliconed around the tape and in the guide holes. I probably went overboard with it, but I'm not messing around when it comes to leaks.

I'm not speaking from experience but in general the liklihood of a leak will be impacted by the climate in which you live. silicone is not a permanent solution if you live in climates where you have cold winters and hot summers. over time the silicone will lose its ability to be water tight. many use butyl tape like you have done and many just use silicone and have no issues

the best method is to use bonded sealed washers that are designed to create a weathertight seal. like I said above, many people will successfully install roof racks with silicone and have no issues. the best method is to inspect the seals every year or so and even reseal every few years

Living in Jersey where we get hot summers and cold winters I'll probably invest in some silicone washers along with the butyl tape. Thanks for the reply

silicone is good but bonded sealed EPDM washers are best. If you can get those use them. the bonded washers have rubber fused with a curved metal washer. when torqued properly the metal washer presses down and goes flat. the cone shape of the steel washer directs the rubber to seal tightly to a bolt and flat to whatever you are mounting it to. this prevents moisture from traveling along the threads which can be an issue if using a regular flat washer + also helps with vibration dampening. I use these on my pelican case and have not had any issues with moisture getting inside the case. the case permanently lives on my roof. freeze and thaw cycles no problem + easy to replace washers if you want after a few years since there's no messy silicone to clean up

LFD Bumper Install

Hi,
Just installed the LFD bumper on a 2022 TRD Pro. Is the bottom of the fender grill suppose to sit tightly above the top of the bumper or behind it? See pic for reference.

Hey everyone, just got my first 4runner. pretty stoked! Looking at crossbars that I can attach to the factory rails and I really like the LFDs. They look pretty versatile and can attach most anything with all the available slots and holes across the bars. Been reading this board and have come across some pretty divergent opinions. Some people love them and others have had issues. No sure if it is just dumb luck on how your bars and wind fairing are built in whether it'll cause you an issue. A few questions did come to mind that I didn't quite see answered (although possible I missed it).

1) As far as the potential to dig into the paint, what is different about the LFD wind fairing compared to roof racks like the prinsu? I don't feel like I've seen as many people complain about a prinsu rack digging into the roof but when I see builds, it certainly looks like the fairing on the front of the prinsu is clearly resting on the roof. Is there something about the LFD fairing that digs into the roof moreso than other setups whether they be crossbar wind fairings or roof racks?

2) I am a little worried about the fairing digging into the roof and was thinking of just getting the crossbars. Definitely appears that there is some wind noise without the fairing. While there will always be noise when you have things attached to the bars, can you not just slide the bars farther back when not in use? Does that help with the noise? And what about other tricks like wrapping paracord around the bars? Has anyone tried that?

Get the fairing, you'll hate the bars without it. No issues with rubbing on my fairing purchased in spring of '21, but the supplied weather stripping did sit directly on the paint.

Has lfd fixed the fairing contact issue with the roof ? Seen some post about paint wearing off. Even with rubber on the bottom vibration will wear it down and impact the paint. It doesn’t take much vibration in fact it might not be noticeable. You could put some xpel ppf down but that too will wear eventually. Dust and dirt trapped up there is also a concern

I have two crossbars coming and I put off ordering the fairing for this reason. I know the bars are noisy with no fairing but mine will be loaded with 2 pelican cases at all times. They will extend the length of the side rails and will run right to the top of the fairing and cover most of the crossbar width. There’s probably enough disruption of air flow on the roof to help cut down noise. I have them mounted on my thule crossbars with little noise. I’d still like the fairing but am still unsure about direct contact with the roof. anyone know if the current one piece fairings still contact the roof ?
