It doesn't touch the fin, but it's close. I wouldn't ever put anything under the rack anyway, so no issues.Vegasrnr,
How's the clearance around the shark fin antenna? It looks tight from your pics... thx.
With 76" platform on top, and top of rail. It sits about 4inches above the roof.![]()

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.

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 dealt with RhinoRacks customer service?
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?

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!
