    My taco came with this roof rack railing. I am looking for cross bars that would fit but unsure what kind would work. Any recommendations?

    ARB Bumper, SOS sliders, rear bumper, and skid plate. OME Lift. Some other stuff.
    Why not use the crossbars built into the rack?

    Your OEM rack has crossbars that fold out from either side to connect both rails laterally. Get up there and take a look. In the pictures you posted, they are stowed away. One of the benefits of the OEM rack.

    Timberline has towers/bars to connect to the factory rails. Thule most likely has the same.

    The rails move. They have pivot points to make them into cross bars

    Lots of options out there. This is a Thule foot pack with Thule Cross bars. I have a Thule Hullavator kayak carrier that i love and that’s why I went with this set up. What you choose depends on how you will be using it.

    :rofl: Don’t hate cause I got more crossbar than you. :rofl:

    Truth though - if the Hullavator would work with Prinsu or factory that’s how I would roll. Paid to much for it and makes loading and unloading easy.
