Multiple Spoilers?

[4RunAmok]

Lots of great info, guys!

I'm changing my roof rack soon, and I want to avoid the scratches and dings that sonerick mentioned he gets with his.

I'm going to proceed with installing the new rack with the current spoiler, and will see what I have to do to make sure it all fits together with the RTT installed too.

It's good to know that if I need to, I can swap out to the 03-04(5) spoiler without too much worry.

For the record, a lot depends on what you're carrying and what type of roof rack you'll be using. I currently have Yakima's mounted on my factory sport roof rack (with the slim spoiler). Ladders, creekboats (if strapped on cockpit down), etc. bump against my spoiler. Playboats, etc. don't because of their shorter length. Kayak stackers would make that a non-issue for all but the longest of boats ... they certainly make it a non-issue for any of the boats that I carry.

It's a different concern, one that will be posted about in more detail in the days ahead.

My new rack will primarily serve as a home for the Mt. Thielsen RTT, which is not a clamshell tent, but a full rack tent.

Makes perfect sense ... I thought someone had mentioned ladders, kayaks, etc. in an early post.
