Pro rack or rails
- Thread starter ForRun

What I did was visit a local aftermarket Toyota shop and tell them I was looking for oem side rails and hardware. They had a few sets laying around due to installing aftermarket racks and sold me a set for $40 with hardware.
That and watch Craigslist/online classifieds. Make sure you get the hardware though, its damn pricey on its own.

A $1K for rails???? That's insane...
I have a spare set of silver that I would sell very cheaply.. paid $40 Cdn. Then again Im in Canada.. but could possibly have them shipped from Montana if someone wanted. (Family heading down at Christmas) No hardware though.
The ones on my 4Runner are silver too, but have black vinyl on them.

If anything, I have two sets of rails (mine and a friend's), but both are the silver ones. I got the OEM black ones, and yes, they're great. One set has the black caps, and the other, I can't find the caps. Other than that, complete (bolts, even a cross bar).
But, what I originally was going to do was either powdercoat/wrap/rhinoline/etc until I found a deal of the black take-offs. If you're interested, I can always sell a set cheap. Local to LA (SGV).

I didn’t like it at first but find it more practical than the standard rails. The crossbars on the standard rails are a pain to remove and replace so I ended up driving around with my kayak racks on all summer. With the Pro rack, the crossbars pop on and off very quickly so I just leave my kayak racks attached to the crossbars and can pop them on and off very quickly. I’ve also used it to strap down various objects. With 4 crossbars, you can put all on the lower portion of the rack and use that for your base and tie them down from the upper portion of the rack.

Took your guys' advice and went on craigslist. Got super lucky and found a bran new set in silver off a 2018 TRD ORP for $40. Guy put on a Prinsu rack and just wanted them gone. Now I just need to decide whether I order the black rails from Toyota or have them vinyl wrapped. Thoughts? How does the vinyl wrap hold up?

I hate the FJ roof rack on my 2020. I found a set of black rails locally for $100. I think I saw that LFD Off road sells cross bars. So I can just mount these rails and then add some cross bars?? I only plan on mounting some extra gas up there and to get rid rid of the FJ rack.
Thats what I did... ditched the Pro rack, got black side rails and then 3 LFD bars and the fairing.
