    I need a rack a few times a year. I'd love to have one but don't want to have it up there all the time.

    I'd love to see a rack that I could quickly take on and off and, as a bonus, move it from truck to 4Runner even if this does mean some permanent brackets on both.

    I've been looking at just getting a basket on some rails that can easily go on and off but they all sit so damn high.

    Looks like you could take off the platform pretty easily and leave the rails/feet installed. IDK about swapping it between your Tacoma/4Runner but maybe?

    Yes. I think the is the rack from EEZI-AWN. I believe that would work and the Rhino rack is the same concept. There is always Thule and Yakima too.

    From what I have researched (and I think I have a pretty comprehensive list) you are looking at Thule / Yakima and a bar kind of situation with removable brackets / ears. That may be your best bet and I would guess that the brackets could be shared between the Tacoma and the 4Runner:

    But you should look at the Rhino which could be a good fit for you as well.

    It is and according to the site you can put it on top of Thule and Yakima cross bars which would be ideal for easy on/off

    I just mounted up a Yakima LockNLoad platform and besides one slight modification it fit perfectly.

    That’s the only good thing about the OEM rack. Arms stow away when you don’t need them, so there is no wind noise and it looks built-in. Otherwise it’s a piece of crap with plastic fittings and limited weight capacity, but it’s fine for my kayak.

    Has anyone purchased an OEM Tacoma Roof Rack from this link? I was getting ready too and got some odd messages during checkout about security and "something went wrong with my cart"..........just seeing if anyone had any good or bad input about this link/seller?

    Thanks

    Says the store is closed. It's a regular dealer but something is wrong. Email goes to revolution parts in Arizona.

    Hmmm....yea something's wrong.
    Does anyone have an idea where I can get a good price on a true OEM Toyota roof rack?

    Edit:. My local dealer wants $340.00 plus tax

    Well, I received the OEM roof rack in the mail today by FedEx. I have no idea if this is original Toyota part or not? Toyota isn't on it anywhere that I can find.

    Would someone who has an original Toyota roof rack look at these pictures and let me know if this is an OE Toyota roof rack or not?

    Thanks
