New to the 2nd gen 4Runner? Our 1995 Toyota 4Runner buyer's guide covers the truck itself before you spec a rack. Full-length, RTT-rated. Mounts to the roof on 14 steel rivnuts with Grade 8 hardware. Installation requires drilling the rivnut holes — plan for that, or have a shop do it. Also fits the JDM Hilux Surf (N130) — confirmed by Surf owners running this rack. Unsure? Email us before you order — we would rather answer a question than process a return.
Also available: Medium Duty (8 rivnuts) · Light Duty (6 rivnuts)
THE V3 ROOF RACKS ARE IN CURRENT PRODUCTION, BUILT TO ORDER BY HAND IN OUR SHOP.
Current ship time is 14-18 days.
I am proud to announce Version 3 of the SAO line of roof racks, built specifically for the 2nd generation Toyota 4Runner. This rack is the heaviest duty rack in the lineup designed for roof top tents and anything else you can throw on the roof! This rack can handle it.
With its thick aluminum sides and .090 wall steel cross bars, this rack has been tested to the max and it still wanted more!
Mounts directly to the roof via 14 steel rivnuts!
Grade 8 hardware coated in gold zinc to match the factory toyota hardware and to beat any weather conditions for years to come.
This rack raises the roof height just two and a quarter inches!! Very low profile.
Comes with an optional wind deflector up front to keep wind noise to a minimum. Choose black coated siding or raw aluminum siding at no extra cost.
Requires drilling into the body of the truck. Order cancellations will be subject to a 15% restocking fee (waived if we cannot ship within the stated build time).

I love it. Install was a little rough. But overall outcome performs as I should. Low profile. I would post a pic but it won’t let me :/

Awesome roof rack
I bought this for my hilux surf and it fits perfectly. Low profile and HEAVY DUTY. The gold industrial hardware looks so good on the black side pieces. P. s. the wind deflector is a must.

Great Rack.
Good roof rack. Few of the bars were the wrong length but he sent me the correct ones as soon as I brought it to his attention. I would like to see a better install video on YouTube and provide a QR code with a link to the install would be great. Overall happy with the rack. It’s pricey but that’s expected for a custom rack. I’ve had my Roam Vegabond XL mounted for a few months now. The low profile rack is great but makes mounting your tent that much harder so keep that in mind.

Looks SO good.

Just what I needed.
This roof rack sets the standard. Simple but robust, holds a ton of weight but is low profile and sleek. This roof rack fits my needs perfectly. Kyle L.

Great rack
Very nice sturdy roof rack for overlanding. I’ll be adding a wind deflector shortly. Other than that it’s fantastic.
