T4R Rack for Tacoma

I know some guys put the factory racks off 4runners on the a double cab tacoma, Any particular years of T4R that work better than others.
what did you pay? Im looking at a 2001 4runner rack on CL guy wants 150$
Anyone got install picts?

 

I've been thinking about this mod today too lol. I found a guy parting out a 91 Runner on CL and he told me $20...
$150 for a 13-year old factory rack is a little pricey

 

yeah thats what i though, he can keep it! Gonna keep crusing CL.

 

Try a junkyard if you have one. My local Pick a Part never has Tacomas but it has a ton of 4Runners

 

Hello, see this:

http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/1s...abs-3inch-lift-265-75-16-a-4.html#post8255798

There are 2 different sizes on the 4Runners... the one i located at a junkyard was 48", so i had to cut it to fit, but they have ones that are 3' long and that size will fit without any trimming..

Here is what i followed for my install:

Hope this helps.... I like the look.....

 

sweet thanks for the info Gman, That rack you got on there looks exactly what im lookin for. I will be on the prowl for a rack.!

 

I paid $80 for it..... Check the junkyards, another way to know it is the correct length is by counting the cross bars. The one you want has only 3..

Start looking at 4Runners while you are driving... You will see 3 & 4 Tabs on top.... I enjoy the look and We had Heavy rains right after i installed, No Leaks! Good Luck..

It has a real Smooth Low Profile... Take a look.. BTW, i am on the list for Under Hood Lights, Those look great!

 

It has a nice Low Profile

 

Anyone know of this being done on an extra cab?

 

If im not mistaken I started all of this witht he factory T4R tracks.. I have an ext cab, the tracks will just have to be shortened.. Higherlux did it after I did to his ext cab and I put one on a DC.. Its not hard, a couple hours worth of work. I also made some crossbars of my own to mimick Yakima that the 4Runner guys are wanting me to start making.. they hold a ton more weight than the stock plastic ones and use the factory tie down knobs, just slide the cross bars into the track with the star knob and tighten wherever you want it.
