I’m trying to find a good roof rack with a lightbar for my 5th gen 4Runner. I’m totally new to modifications and am also confused about the process of getting it and finding someone to do the mods. Any one have any help? I live in Dallas and I have no idea who to go to or anything like that. Thanks!

That looks awesome but I think I want more of a flatter roof rack rather than a basket. What are your thoughts on the two? I’m also more worried about wiring the lightbar correctly. At the moment I have rail slides on either side of my roof and a sun roof. I’m not sure what to do with those.

Ok so I know c4 fabrication might make a flatter rack like you want that should mount up to your factory rails

Take a look at lfd offroad they have a few options from cross for the stock rails to full roof racks for less than $1000. Here's my setup, no light bar though. Very simple to install with no drilling.IMG_20190605_125120_638.jpeg

I just finished my lightbar. Unlike most, I tucked it under my roof rack. First for protection but also to keep the glare off the hood. Driving off road last night thru rain and fog I discovered another advantage. There is no reflection off the fog either once the fog falls into the shadow over the hood.

Very nice setup. I need an option to get a few boxes along with our tent on the roof. We are a family of 5 in the 4Runner and the factory rack barley meets my requirements

How is the fit and finish of the LFD? Are you easily able to mount boxes up there? I need to mount 2 of these bad boys on the roof along with my Gazelle T4.
