ARB

I went with the 2005 4runner "fit kit", its a complete side rail that replaces the factory rack. You can then use any of the full length ARB baskets, I went with the "touring" rack. I was all in for about $800.00. And as a bonus I didn't have to wait months to get it.

Fit kit 3722010

I recently picked up a LFD Offroad 7/8th's rack for $630 and their full length racks are $900 for the all steel model. Was wrapped super nicely, had all the hardware and shipping was less than 2 weeks from order to my door. Included the wind fairing and 8 crossbars and was very easy to install. Did it by myself in about 2 hours including removing the factory rack.

I chose this rack after reading a bunch of reviews and decided it was the right choice for my needs.

Rola rack is probably the cheapest. There is a a low profile mount you can purchase separately.
