Factory Crossbars Not the best picture to demonstrate my set up but its the only one i could find. I just use the factory crossbars and a couple of ratchet straps and have never had an issue or had the canoe move around. And this isnt a light canoe, its a cedar bark canoe made in the 1920s...

I'm having the same problem with the one that came with my 2011. Its a python and worked quite well last winter but now that the cold has come back around its barely working with from half a block away. I even tried switching out the batteries.

Im running Blizzak DM-V1s and they are fantastic. I do the drive to and from the mountains a few times a week as i work for a ski hill in the area. We get some pretty wild winters here in Calgary (it has already hit at least -25 celcius) and I definitely recommend them. I was running studded...

Almost the youngest. 25.

Went Fishing Loaded up my canoe (made in 1929 in Maine) and went fishing at Whiteswan Lake in British Columbia. Mediocre fishing but a great day with my pops. <a href="http://s58.photobucket.com/user/geo_geoff/media/480BBD59-1AAA-41F3-A02C-116E50D6262C.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img...

Im currently running Blizzak DM-V1s in the winter and they are phenomenal. I spend a few days a week driving on the highway to and from the mountains as I work for a ski resort outside of the city and i wont spend a winter without a set of true winter tires. We get some pretty wild winters up...

All good except for the first picture. Looked like a cool trip!

I have the Thule Force Alpine 623 that I use in the winter for my skis. In my case, with the stock crossbars, the back of the box clears the antenna. I do however have to have it all the way forward so that it does not rub the spoiler on the tailgate when it is open. Another thing to mention...

My first car (that lasted more than a month) was a '97 SR5 and I absolutely loved it. Passed it on to my sister when i moved away from school and we both agree the worst mistake we made was trading it in when she picked up her new car. I had a sequoia in between my two 4runners and although...

Just spotted Intruder on 4th Street in Calgary while I was on my way home from work. Truck looks even better in person!

I have the same question but more specifically with mounting a Thule (Force Alpine 623) with the Quick Grip System. Wondering if the cross bars on the utility rack are too narrow.

Wish I had seen this before picking up my LE back in December. Would have been very tempted. Still kind of am.

If you are looking for a winter tire, I run Blizzaks on mine and they are great winter tires. Had a set of nokian hakkapeliitta 7 studded on my Sequoia before switching over to the 4R and they were the best winter tires I have ever owned. Got me through some pretty sketchy situations.

Spotted a lifted grey TE with a bumper and an Eagle Pass Heliskiing sticker on the back window driving down Prospect Ave in Calgary. Great looking rig. I was the guy in the terrible blue Lake Louise Ski Resort company jeep that may have been staring.
