Did you use the screws from the GX roof or the ones from the 4runner?
I got a set of rails of the 5th gen too but don’t have the original screws.

I was thinking of swapping but probably will stay with the stock rails since I got the Yakima towers working good with the basket and the Skybox

I used the GX screws. They work well.

Did the same thing to mine, for practical reasons: The OEM rails on the GX are useless.

Note to others: The 4Runner rails are asymmetrical; there is a left and right rail and they are not the same. Make sure to put them on the correct sides or the cross-bars won't go on.

that's Another positive reason to have them. Great tip !

Hi,

Read through multiple pages and have had differing opinions on if they fit. They do fit.


Fill this with Lexus or Toyota rubber roof gasket?
So for the three unused holes, just fill the holes with silicone correct? As for the channel that is left open between the two mounting points just buy there pieces of the Lexus roof moulding or can I use the 4runners one piece?

Creetopher, how did you red out the tail lights?

Creetopher

Here you go. I used nite shades red. Use very light coats.

Anyone tried a 5th Gen 4runner Prinsu rack on a GX? Theres a good deal for one on Craigslist but cant figure out if it will work?

The GX has 3 mounting points for each rail, the 4Runner has 2. What is everyone doing with the empty set of holes and how are you preventing water intrusion?
