Rhino Rack on TRD

With 76" platform on top, and top of rail. It sits about 4inches above the roof.

Vegasrnr,

How's the clearance around the shark fin antenna? It looks tight from your pics... thx.
It doesn't touch the fin, but it's close. I wouldn't ever put anything under the rack anyway, so no issues.

How are you liking the rack so far? Any issues with it?

Thinking about getting this as well... my only concern is how much of the sunroof would be blocked.
 
Exactly. Money was not the issue, I was actually debating if I should just go with gobi and get one with a ladder. It will serve it's purpose for what I need it for, and if one day I decide to I need something else, I can easily remove and sell this one to someone here.

Removed rack, removed rails and painted them black... This is the final result. Anyone need the factory crossbars? Took those off while the rails were off.

I went with a Front Runner full sized, Slim Line rack to accommodate my rooftop tent, but have to say, that's one of the best looking 4Runners I've seen.

I'd like to paint my rails too. Do you recall what type of paint you used?
 
Was considering this rack, especially since their US distro is in Denver metro.
But, I can't wrap my head around how I would install snowboard racks and be able to have 4 boards. Pretty sure the rhino rack would get in the way of the bindings of the bottom boards.
Probably no different for any rack.
Has anyone done this and do you have photos?
 
Anyone with the pioneer rack w/ backbone system have a ladder? Does it clear without issue? Searches didn't really lead to any productive results. Also, seems to me 3 guys here have the 76x49 rack, anyone with the 84x49 utilizing backbone? TIA

Rhino rack makes snowboard / ski / fishing pole holders that look really nice. They make a few different sizes and one that claims it will hold 4 snowboards.

I've got the pioneer / backbone setup on my T4R, I'm very happy with it.
 
I was looking into these platforms awhile ago and wondered what was involved. Thanks to your install and pics, I was able to pick up the same size platform off of Ebay (listed for a 03-09 GX470) and a CXB leg set. Aside from utility purposes of having a cargo platform, I can now use my Thule Ascent 1100 cargo box. To save on cost, the Unistrut channel nuts fit in the channels of this platform. Just get eye bolts and some large washers and you have your own eye bolt kit.

I just got the platform (42100B) with CXB legs. The CXB legs however does not completely fit (or hook under the rail). Seems that the legs were "too short" that the lower 'teeth' stop at the lower end tip of the rail, instead of being longer and completely close.

From your picture it seems like that your cxb fits perfectly. Am I missing something?

I just kept slowly tightening the side screws on the CXB legs one side then the other, then it becomes snug to the rails. I haven't taken the pioneer rack off so I don't if something else is happening, but I haven't had any problems with it since it was installed.
 
I've got the Rhino Rack Pioneer with the backbone mount. I really like it. Clean, simple, lightweight, and holds a mulititude of mounts and accessories. For a few hundred more the backbone mount really strengthens up the system. Nothing wrong with mounting it to the factory rails but by the time you do that you are maybe $150-200 away from having the backbone mount.

I've attached some pix of the CXB legs, I had concerns of breaking the legs if I over tightened the screws, but it didn't happen as long as you tighten the legs evenly. I tried measuring the height of the rails. It should be the same as yours.

Love mine also! Picked up the Rhino Rack accessory bar and was able to put my Thule cargo box.
Not as low profile as when I had the box on the stock roof rack bars on my 2005 4runner (damn 2016 shark fin. grr), but it works!
Rear door is within an inch of the cargo box when opened.

So i know i'm reviving an extremely old thread, but quick question - It looks like your accessory bar is mounted with some spacers underneath so the thule accessory can mount. Did this come from rhino rack with the spacers or did you have to improvise? Thanks!

Hi, to reply with a not so quick answer, I improvised. The accessory bar sits flat on the rack originally.
