2019 and 2020 TRD Pro Rack - Any Way To Make Useful?

[Baystate4Runner]

Yakima Mighty Mounts 23H. They work perfectly on the stock crossbars. The rack tubes are 1.75" OD. Many clamps and mounts can be found to fit the tubes if you do a quick search. There will be a clamp solution for anything you want to mount to the tubes.

What kind of clamps are you using for the hi lift jack? I like the look.

I found 1.75" clamps online that had a bolt hole. Threaded in stud with loctite. Put on a couple nuts to lock it in and offer spacing away from the rack. Found a nice X shaped aluminum handle with a threaded hole that went all the way through. Couple of washers on each side of the highlift and it works great.

I have come across better clamps since i did this. Ones that have rubber to go around the roof rack bars. My current set up does not move but i do not like the metal-to-metal contact.

You can find a bar clamp like this to attach anything you can imagine. Awning, shovels, quickfists, whatever.

Search the big A for 1.75" bar mounts or clamps and get creative. Have fun.

Thanks, I just ordered some based on reading this. I didn’t want to drill through the bars to install rivet nuts, so this should be a great option.

This rack appears to be quite divisive. If you need a RTT, to get on top of your vehicle, or specialized use cases, then it probably isn’t a great option. However, if you rarely use it and just want the ability to throw some stuff up there from time to time, it will probably do just fine. The only real drawback I see is how tall it is, especially if you also have any sort of lift. I have an SR5 but picked up one of these racks from Craigslist after seeing this: TRD Pro (2019+) Roof Rack Install Guide & Parts List - 5th Gen 4Runner. I had also considered LFD crossbars, but I was able to get the rack for less than the LFD kit wold have cost me.

Anyone run a cargo box on the stock rails? They are pretty thin, not sure if I can run a box on them or need some type of attachment piece? TIA!!

Did he do a write up? I might be interested in trying this.

Here are the pics for my previous post

Do you have a link to the Yakima adapters you purchased? Maxtrax and Rotopax is exactly what I am looking to mount on the roof rack. I have searched all over Yakima's website and can't find the adapters. I believe I had found them BEFORE I saw your post, but can't find them anymore. I'm sure they're there. I'm probably blind.

I don’t have a link. But 23H is what you are looking for.

That helps a lot. Thanks everyone. I had a feeling it was the 23 and not the 39!

I have been looking exactly for this! How do you mount the rotopax to the OEM roof rack? Did you use special mounts like Yakima MightyMount 23H? Did you use the universal mounting plate Rotopax sell?

I see silver screws under the rotopax and through the Yakima mount. Where did you get the screws from or did they come with the Yakima mounts or Rotopax mount?

I just took the nut to Home Depot and got stainless bolts of the same thread and length I needed. I put my traction boards on with 5 inch and use 2 inches to go into the bottom of a Plano case I modified.

That looks like just what I was looking for the Yakima 23H mounts are they still holding up well ? Are the Maxtrax the standard pins ? I also like the fuel set up what brand and size and mounting ? Thanks for the help TC

The mounts are holding up perfectly the best i can tell. I am using the Maxtrax pins and Rotopax mounts bolted into the yakima adapters. 4 adapters for each of the Maxtrax and 4 for Rotopax mounts. i am using 4 gallon Rotopax containers. Rack is rock solid even with 2 - 4G containers stacked on each other.

Thanks that’s what I’m going to do. TC

Hi. Just got 2024 Pro. Wanting to add MaxTrak to basket; love the way you carry them to keep them low. better for me than diagonal mounts due to height restrictions. the yakima website says mighty mount 23 H horizontal mounts wont fit when i plug in my vehicle info, but they clearly seem to fit, right? you are using them? much appreciated. t2

Sorry for such a late reply but I recived my Yakima 23H mounts on the Maxtrax Pins did you use 17mm or 40mm Thanks looks like these would also be awesome to mount a Rifle case hard plastic like the Harbour Freight Apache.
Thanks
