Swapping out roof rack

I have a 2016 4-Runner w/ the T-Force package including a roof rack.

I am not happy with it because the fasteners and hardware have rusted and it also creates a lot of wind resistance.

I'd like to swap to the tube version of the roof rack. How easily can this be accomplished? If I just buy the parts can it be done by someone with minimal experience or is this something for the dealership?

Current:

Also, do you know where I can buy the new rack and what it is called so I can describe it for the parts department.

Thanks!

Check out this thread 2019 Trd Pro Roof Rack Availability It may answer a lot of your questions. Your best bet is find a Pro rack that someone has removed on this forum or locally on Craigslist.

A different aftermarket basket (which is what you have) will be cheaper than the Pro rack, and functionally it's pretty much the same thing. It's not the flush look, but I actually prefer what I have to the pro racks. I like the wind faring, but maybe that's what you're trying to avoid. But that pops off in 2 seconds if you don't like it.

This cost me $50. $55 if you include the plasti-dip I used to spruce it up. And it attaches to OEM crossbars, so install is 5 minutes.

Just another option.
