yes but you would need to order the weather stripping ( the black rubber strip) to run a 14/15 roof rack on your earlier 4runner... or visa versa

I have a brand new Trail Edition (BLACK) rack with crossbars, and am debating on selling the setup due to having a Gobi Rack now. I guess I would entertain offers. I'm located in Batavia, NY.

I have a 14 TE complete rack for sale for $100. I might be persuaded to sell just the crossbars for the right price.

I've got one in the 5th Gen For Sale Sticky. Offers!!!
No they just changed the design. The older all black racks are plastic with a metal channel inside for the cross bars where as the newer trail racks are essentially the same as the SR5 racks but with black end caps. They are all interchangeable provided you get the needed hardware.
The all black TE racks use different bolts and have a small metal bracket that sits inside the channel on the roof.
Easiest way to get the hardware for anyone looking to swap is to order the brackets online and pick up an FJ rack hardware kit. They are the same bolts and comes with all the washers as well. I got mine on Amazon for less than $20.
I have one that will be for sale soon. Its off of a 2011 Trail.
Pm me if you are interested.
I know this is an old thread, but if anyone else has a set of these black roof rails they'd be willing to sell, please let me know. Thanks.
Could you Line-X the silver factory rails? That would look pretty rugged.
I've got a set of black rails from my '11 T.E. that are sitting in the corner of the garage. I love the look of them, but got a Baja Utility Rack that's much more useful, so I'm happy to sell the black ones, but don't know what going prices are. Offers?
Edit: sold. Thanks for all the replies. For the record, they were sold for $100 locally. Probably worth more, but you can't put a price on easy.

I'd be interested in the rails. I have no idea what they go for either. I saw a set of the other kind on my local Craig's for $30. But I've seen on the for sale section of the forum for $700.. Lol.
That helps. I probably won't get over 1k for them then, unless I sit on en a few more years and let em become a rare commodity [emoji14]
Edit: that was in jest. Sold now.

Are there any actual functional differences between the black 10-13 TE roof rails and the silver 14+ roof rails? Is it just the overall height of the rail channels or is there actually a capacity difference? If it is just the height, does this actually provide any advantages?
full length roof rack rails?
hi, have a 15 sr5. all the current factory roof rack rails only cover the rear 2/3 of the roof. I want something i can use for 2 canoes and thus full length rails with extended crossbars.
Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated. my budget is limited so no point recommending a baja or similar. Just want rails i can mount crossbars on, or something simple.
thanks

I haven't seen any rail systems that extend further forward. It's a little tricky to do without it being a full rack, as there are no mount points in front of the stock rails unless you want to drill new holes in your roof (gasp). The full size racks provide enough structural stability to just use foot pads that rest on the trim line, not sure how well that would work with removable crossbars. You might be able to pick up a second set of stock bars and do some custom work to extend your existing ones. Might work fine!
