Thule Rack Question

[Steve Zissou]

I found an older Thule rack on Craigslist that came off of a 97 Explorer. The guy sent me some pictures and the feet have 515-5031 printed on them. The Thule website says a 99 4runner needs 430 tracker II feet and a ZK-1 mount. Thule's website says a 97 explorer also needs the same 430 tracker II feet and a ZK1 mount. Does anyone know if the 515-5031 feet are just the older version of the 430 tracker? Most importantly, will the 515-5031 fit my 99?

Thanks for your help.

I have the factory roof rack with rails.

Can you post the pictures he sent you?

Those look like they would work to me, but I'm definitely not 100%.

Thank you for your help, I'm just hesitant to drive an hour and have them not fit. Does anyone have these and know for sure?

 

[Hepar]

I just did a quick search online and it does appear that these are the older version of the Tracker II foot pack. They should work just fine.

Lmao so thread revive! These work? I need them to mount my roof top tent lol Also do they just unlock and the bars come off?

And [MENTION=56396]Hepar[/MENTION] what fit kit do you need for the Tracker II 430 kit? I could get one of those on craigslist too and it is a little newer and it just unlocks and it lifts off it looks like.

I have the Thule locking feet, bars, and a wind-fairing for sale if interested. It was at home on top of my '99 for years. Some of the hardware shows it age, but all still functional.
Let me know if interested and I will get some pics, and come up with a really good price.

Yep, you can unlock them and yank them off really easily. If you get the 430's, you should have everything you'll need to mount them as long as you have the factory roof tracks.

And that I do!

That's also assuming all hardware is included.

I have the 430 Tracker II foot pack.

I have the 430 Tracker II foot pack.

For this to work though you have to have the tk1 fit kit. I found out the one I'm looking at has it so I'm picking up the rack tonight if its in good shape.
