Looking for some insight on what is the best ¾ roof rack for my 2022 4Runner, looking at Rhino-Rack, Front Runner, and ARB, what are the pros and cons of each? thanks!

I have a prinsu rack and after having lived with it for a couple years, I would recommended providing some information on what you think you are going to use your rack for in order for members to provide input on the type of rack that may best suit your needs.

As an example I only use my rack to hold my top box, a shovel and my trax boards. In the future I would like to move the boards and put a solar panel on top.
Considering that I would not have gone with the Prinsu rack and more likely have gone with the Front Runner OR ARB.

What about one of the Yakima Warrior racks? I'm not sure what your needs are, but I'm finding it to be useful for storing light, but bulky gear. And the rack can easily be removed too. I'm using the Mega Warrior...found it on Facebook marketplace for a steep discount off new pricing.

Our 3/4 Slimline II kit for the 5th gen 4Runner is very versatile and all of our accessories, side and top mounted are compatible with the Slimline II platform. You can even mount one of our Stainless Steel Camp Tables or Under Rack Tables underneath your rack to free up space in your vehicle!
Happy to report I have installed a Front Runner 3/4 Slimline II roof rack with a set of foldable J-style kayak carriers, very happy with the Front Runner system, thanks for your insight!!

Great choice! If somewhere down the line you decide you want to extend your 3/4 kit to a full-length kit, just let us know and we can sell you the parts to extend the rack for more space! If you have any questions about our products, please let me know!

This is great to know. For now, I am hauling kayaks, if I switch to an RTT I will need to extend the rack for sure, thanks!
