And finally, with the ARB rails installed on the 4Runner and the mesh roof rack attached to the mounting rails (what a pain in the a**!).
Observations:
-The ARB rack is real solid and I swear the truck feels stiffer with this thing bolted on.
-MPG is down about 1.5MPG.
-No added wind/road noise that I can detect.
-Color on rack matches wheel color (mostly)
-Sunroof still slides open/close automatically without interference
-Sunroof tilt does work, but I always stop it before maximum "open" just in case it hits and does something it shouldn't
-I tried the ARB K6202 Hi-Lift/Shovel mounting bracket and didn't like it as it didn't feel secure or seem to be a great match for the rack (FWIW)
Also shown in the FourTreks alum. Hi-Lift mounting system (awesome product) and 48" Hi-Lift (with basic cable lock).
