Necroing this thread as I have the same issue and hope for a solution that isn't "I'm just removing it" The supplied velcro does not hold up on the fake leather on the doors and once that peels the whole thing gets pulled off. Wondering if anyone has found a solution or a better adhesive tape...

Shit - updated the post.

I cannot stress enough how important it is to use the correct torx (T40) and not taking the bolts out until both are loose - else the bracket will rotate. If you are not using T25s, you will strip the heads - do not fight the bolts. If they are not moving - heat them up to break the threadlock...

The reason people are mounting starlink on their trucks is that they are going into areas where cell coverage is non existent or awful. You CAN use starlink on vehicles Starlink Portability/Roaming Mode Explained - Starlink Hardware - so ~$135/m which is not great but not bad either.. The...

To close this out in case someone ends up here with search - Sherpa rack solved this easily.

Also finally had time to see if the whole project of making the Yakima Skybox 18 fit actually works out - and it totally does: Hooks clear just fine: Fully open, the hooks can touch the roof, but you can place the box on the rack with the hooks closed, then open them just enough to slide...

SherpaEquipmentCo Just installed mine today - and really not trying to be petty at all - just want to provide some feedback that is super nitpicky and all easy fixes. 1 - The card with the instruction link tells you to go to : 404 Not Found That's a 404 - the actual page is INSTRUCTIONS...

:rolleyes: If you are paranoid, you can decline the agreements for data sharing using the Toyota app. Officially this ceases the communication with your car without pulling any fuses, how much faith you put in that depends on the number of layers of tinfoil in your hat.

Man I love my 4Runner, had a 3rd,4th and now 5th gen - but yeah you're 100% right. Toyota has consistently taken the role of the parent that acts like they know what's best for you when it comes to the vehicles they design, and it's not even limited to the 4Runner. The TRD PRO roof rack is imo...

I looked at Broncos - and I couldn't think of what a Bronco did for me that a 4Runner didn't. Sure - there are things the Bronco does that the 4Runner doesn't but nothing that I wanted. A lot of the features that others are excited about, like the removable doors and modular roof are absolutely...

Yup - the Thule box is a different form factor with different mount points. I'd rather buy a new rack than a new box - mainly because there is nothing really wrong with the box - it's the rack that's dumb. Screw it - I ordered a Sherpa. Already paid 5k over MSPR for the truck, might as well...

Yeah the rubber feet vs "Just put silicone on here" sold me on the Sherpa vs other racks. I don't trust a glob of silicone applied by an incompetent idiot (meaning myself) to save my truck from potential water intrusion into the body of the vehicle. I have not been able to find any reports...

Last truck was a 4rd gen, the rails were full length. In the 5th gen they are 3/4th which is why I'd run into issues even with no TRD PRO rack. Anything short of a full roof coverage will not fit an 18 without modifications to the cargo box or interference with the liftgate. I think I'll just...

Yeah Aluminum is a big factor. My 3rd gen rusted away - my 4th gen got totaled with frame damage from a very low speed collision directly into the drivers side rear wheel - so no body damage, but a few mounts torn right off the frame - which would never have happened if it wasn't so damn rusty...

The 18 is unlikely to clear even on stock rails - I know the 16 does, but it's significantly shorter. I like the Sherpa rack better than the Gobi, plus it's cheaper than the Gobi which seems to come with the ladder that I have no interest in - and if I did - the Sherpa one looks better. Unless...
