5th gen T4R SR5 roof rail channel tie-down hooks?

[genec]

Has anyone found tie-down hooks that go into the roof rack channels? I've seen the ones that go into the cross bars but they do not fit in the side rail channels. Seems strange to me that these are not available.

Thank you.

Thanks c2one. unfortunately, those don't seem to fit. the link you sent is an awesome price for them though. anyway...i have the same parts in hand and they do not fit in the side rails. when i went back to the seller, he highlighted the "mount in the cross bars" note in his listing. it's really weird b/c in both of my previous T4Rs, i have never needed hooks on the crossbars, only on the sides. not sure why they would make them for crossbars. i have seen the same part listed for the tundra bed rails. in the tundra picture i saw, it showed a wider track opening than the roof side rails which makes sense for the part i'm looking at. If you have installed these, and think i might be doing something wrong on the install, please let me know. thank you.

I don't have any experience with these unfortunately. I went off of Amazon's description of them.
'Fits 2010-2013 Side Rails'

These look identical but mounted on a Tacoma.

Are these the Tundra tie downs you found?

Or these?

Looks like the ones you have are for a '10-'13 TE roof rack.

Which makes sense because if you search that part number for an SR5, it says it may be incompatible.

Edit: Says the same thing for Trail.

c2one: i would say you are correct. unless the TE's come with crossbars and they are really for the crossbars. i posted the question to the amazon seller, but no response. all i know is that they don't fit the SR5 side channels. from reading the posts in the link you sent, it doesn't look like they fit the TE side rails either though...unless i read too fast and missed something. rush rush rush.. thanks for your help with this. i ordered some Nissan Xterra ones today and i'll post if they work out once i get them. they look kind of generic from the backside nut end so may work out; depends if they are long enough to lock inside the track once I turn to tighten.

here is a less expensive link than the original one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2005-2013-N...Parts_Accessories&hash=item27dbd66f74&vxp=mtr

they seem to work fine. not as cool as the toyota one, but these do fit in the 2014 side trails.

thank you.
